I wasn't joking. He used his mask to stop the ball. That's a catcher balk.

That is not technically what that is called and I did not realize it is sometimes called that. It is the detached equipment rule. I didn't see the play, was it on a live ball? If it was a deadball foul on the ground, it would not be a detached equipment violation. But I guess if you brought it up it was a live ball.

Thanks for teaching an old man a new term.
