As LDUB said, you might want to go back and actually learn this rule. A pitch that bounces in and is cleanly gloved is NOT caught, and as such, is a "third strike not caught," commonly but not properly referred to as "dropped third strike."
If you've been calling out batters because a pitch skips in but is gloved, as in Wednesday's ALCS game, then you have been improperly applying a rule, opening yourself up to protests each time.
