His glove came off on the tag...Can that still be an out? he lost control momentarily, but long enough for the runner to touch. My IR call is safe. Real time call is out.

What is the rule on that? A gloved ball must be held securely with the glove or the hand, he still has the glove and ball in his hands so I going with "Out" here.

He lost control briefly...when the glove came off, before he secured the glove. Again, in real time, I have it out. It is only through the power of slo-mo IR that I even noticed the glove come off.

I think he was still holding the glove against his body when it came of his hand.

[LMSANS]

I don't think that qualifies as "control". :question1:

I believe the rule reads firmly and securely with hand or glove.

On a foul tip that went directly off of F2's mitt or hand, and trapped up against his CP, that had been interpreted to be an out. But I don't know about this case.

PU thought it was. :shrug:
