If the catcher is standing there showing me the ball.. thats on F2 if she didnt really catch it.
Would you stop a the runner from running?

I agree it is not an immediate cocern, giving you time to glace at the BU. If the ball was caught, I'm not going to stop the runner from running, but I am going to declare her out. I realize it is not REQUIRED, and that the play, if any, is on the players. It is just what I'd do.
