In the dirt or not?

In my opinion, the ball bounced on the glove not on the ground so what has "the ball changed direction got to do with anything"

The LA Times printed a picture which clearly shows the glove on the ground and the ball on top of the glove.

And our local Comcast channel here in Chicago showed a huge zoom close-up shot where it was clear that the ball did, indeed, hit the ground. This shot caused several media personnel to change their minds after seeing it. They originally thought for sure the ball was caught, but subsequently stated they believe the ball wasn't caught.
