Harvester had it right, but it is in the rules. The result is a "fly(xf) B" if
you miss a ballpark homerun. The rules state that on a "fly(xf) B", the runner
from 3rd scores automatically, a runner on 2nd can tag up and try to go to third
if hit to rf and a runner on first stays put unless he is trailing a runner
going from 2nd to 3rd. On a "fly(xf) B?" with emphasis on the "?" a runner on
third can attempt to score on a sac fly, but the defense can try to throw him
out. Most fly(xf)Bs in the game are B? so the defense can attempt to throw out
a runner, but on a missed ballpark homerun, it is a fly(xf)B and not a fly(xf)B?
so there is no throw. Like Harvester said, a fly(xf)B is hit deeper than a
fly(xf)B?, but not as deep as a fly(xf)A where all runners advance. I hope that
clears it up with a little more detail so you can understand the logic. It can
be difficult in the beginning.

Just imagine a fly ball hit so deep that the outfielder has his ass against
the wall. No chance to throw out a runner tagging from third on that kind of
play.
