Any fielder who closes his glove around the ball before he releases it without contacting the ground, another player, or a wall has caught it in my games.
Exactly. And when you get to the show you'll call it the way MLB says call it!

I was just saying, than in the show, if you don't call it the way in which they have instructed, it will be overturned as we have repeatedly seen in the challenges thus far.

In my opinion replay is really starting to do as much harm as good.

I would rather see a rule requiring all disputes to be settled by the umpires on the field in one minute or less. Anyone not ready to resume the game after a minute is automatically ejected.

The other day I watched a replay of game 7 of the 1978 world series - Catfish Hunter vs. Don Sutton. 9 runs scored on 18 hits (21 baserunners). Time of game: 2:34.
