"Plate umpire walks over to book".
Most PU's are going to call this an implied time out. It's bad form, and MOST good PU's will call time before walking over there. But if they screw up, and don't call time, it's very similar to the implied time out you get when this same umpire forgets to call time to clean the plate.
Therefore, I don't have an out at 2nd - the ball's not yet alive until I tell pitcher it is live.
