Hola a todos.

When someone finds an error and reports it so that it can be corrected, we often say 'Good catch!' in English.

It comes from the meaning of catching a ball in a ball game, where a catch by the outfielder (in baseball) or a save by the goalkeeper (in soccer) can save the defensive team, preventing the offensive team from scoring a point.

So could you say something like 'Bien agarrado / parado' or 'Bien visto / descubierto', or would it need to be something more general, like 'Bien hecho'?

If the thing caught is 'un error' the participle would be masculine, right? But if it's 'una falta' it would be feminine? How do you decide?

(And why is it evidently always feminine in sports? People always think of 'la pelota' and never of 'el balón'?)
