The "if the fielder can pull it out, it's not lodged" ruling leads to a problem with the "pitched ball gets past the catcher and sticks in the backstop" play.
Is the pitch lodged as soon as it sticks? (That's the current ruling) Is it only lodged if the fielder (usually F2) can't pull the ball loose?
