If the ball was not *obviously* out of play, the umpires might not have been in position to make an immediate call due to bad angles, responsibilities at other bases, etc. In that case, he should have been moving to verify that the ball had, in fact, gone out of play. If your fielder plays it before he can make the call, too bad for you. Coaches should instruct the players to leave a dead ball lie. You're more likely to get the call if you can point to a ball on the ground and then argue that it is out of play.
