This scenerio isnt a dead ball there and allows way too many base advances, say on a ball that passes the catcher. I think the ASA having seen how some of the other leagues work this has done the right thing with the dead ball, especially since mens sp is allowing the steal now.

ASA does allow stealing and the ball is not dead when it hits the ground unless it touches the plate or in front of the plate. The stealing is a good thing.
This discussion is about the ball becoming dead because the batter hits it after it hits the ground or plate.
