No it really didn't. He hit the wall and had the ball then went to the ground still with the ball. Once on the ground and the extreme pain hit is when he let the ball go. There's a video on the same link of the Braves radio call that has an angle from the first base side. Common sense needs to come into play. The pain he had to be in caused him to release the ball. To me that makes it a good catch and nothing will convince me otherwise. I'd go as far as to guarantee that if he didn't break his arm he never loses the ball.
