Runner on 1st. Pitch bounces in the dirt (in front of the plate) and somehow bounces over and hits the bat and goes back to the screen. Call?
Foul ball.

Why a foul ball? Neither umpire saw or heard the ball contact the bat: "Here's the play, which I didn't hear it tip (and neither did the base umpire)."

I just repeated what was said in the original post, ie "somehow bounces over and hits the bat and goes back to the screen." Based on this quote it's a foul ball.

Yes, but he qualified that with, "Here's the play, which I didn't hear it tip (and neither did the base umpire)." In the first part, he just ASSUMED the ball hit the bat. Since neither he or his partner saw or heard it hit, LIVE BALL.
