Think about it.
As the PU, your just a tad bit late stating, "No, He didn't go."
The catcher is pointing to the first base ump and he is indicating the batter swung.
I, as the PU would definetly be hosting a conference with the BU in between innings, and the discussion would not be about where were going for refreshments after the game.
Common sense should prevail here.
