Trapped Ball

[archangel]

I guess I'm also a bit dense, as 8-3-3-d states(paraphrase) -1 base awarded if "lodged in umpires or catchers equipment".
Now guys, I take that to mean mask, chest protector, uni, ect, but not IN THE GLOVE.
The OP said F2 was looking everywhere for the ball and couldnt find it. I believe the PU made the "trapped?" call for that reason alone--would you have called it if catcher wasnt looking around?- I bet not.
So, the issue isnt whether it was trapped or not, but that F2 didnt know he had caught it.
I.E., Grounder to F6, throw to F3 in the dirt beats BR, F3 catches it but thinks it bounced off glove or got by him, he jumps up looking around-What do you call? Out on the example, OOO on the sich!
