Thanks for posting that to settle a question I had yet to resolve.
It bounced off the lip of the glove and sounde dlike a trapped catch to the ump.

That could very well be what happened.

An experienced catcher would have reached out and tagged the batter just to be sure. Especially with a pitcher on the mound like Kelvim Escobar with a nasty split-finger fastball who had been getting White Sox hitters to chase pitches in the dirt for two innings.

For someone who missed the game and somehow missed the controversy, what's the significance of the catch or non-catch?
