Really what difference does it make if it is an interpetation or not? Isn't it sumantics if it is an "interpetation" or a "description of language."

You have OBR rules (and even interpetations) in the OBR rule book. Now how many book are out there that offer their interpetations of those rules? J/R, PBUC, Evans, BRD, just to name a few. Is any one right or wrong? No. Do they all agree on everything? No. So what to do. How bout take what you like or think works best and applying that. If MLB comes out and says this is the official interpetation book then you can point that is totally right. But is it? No. Why, because will they come out with edits to that book? Count on it.
Until FED comes out and specifically says what lodged is then you have to use your own interpetation. Carl mentioned the ball stuck in the glove. If you don't consider that as lodged then fine and dandy, state what you feel is lodged. A ball inbehind a catchers chest protector. Is it lodged if he has to reach in and get it out? Or is it lodged if it just does not fall out on its own within a second or 2? Or is it lodged if he has to undo straps to get it out? Ask 100 unpires to pick one of the above as a minimum requirement for "lodged" and I doubt you'll get 60% of them to agree on 1 of the above. Carl offered some case plays in BDR. That is more than what the Fed has done so it is something you can use as a guideline for this type play. If you don't agree with it, then find something you do like in another publication.
