What if the pitcher "catches" a one hopper and then thinking the ball is lodged throws the glove and ball to 1B and the ball comes out of the glove while on the way to 1B? Was it really lodged? How do we rule? Is it possible for a baseball to lodge in a glove such that it can not be extracted with reasonable effort?
I am only asking to illustrate how stupid this has become. FED wants to award 2 bases when a glove is thrown with ball inside. RIGHT or WRONG, THAT'S IT. That's all there is to it. Take a caught ball and make a triple play with it, go to the dugout and extracate the ball from glove with a crowbar, I don't care. Can we use our judgement to determine when a glove is thrown with ball inside? That's a tad bit obvious.
