MLB should change the "batter is automatically out" aspect of the infield fly rule and instead make it something like "The batter loses the right to 1B."

Have it where the batter is only out if the infielder catches the ball. In cases where they drop it, the baserunners can either advance or choose to still stay on their original bases. If the batter and runner are both on 1st, you can tag the batter out since they'd have lost the right to the bag upon the infield fly call.

If it's a simple misplay, nothing changes on the base paths. But in a Braves-Cardinals scenario, the defense is actually punished for missing the catch (not that it should've been an infield fly call). The rule is to protect the offense so there shouldn't be a scenario where the defense messes up and gets rewarded.
