I'm not Atlumpsteve and I don't know that he would agree with me on this anyway. I think you are just getting to carried away with the technicalities. Besides if this happens so fast then are you saying that in the 350/1000's of a second from the ping of the bat to glove contact you can react, move you're hand, grab the mask and remove it? I believe this would take care of itself, it's going to happen before the mask comes off anyway. Also why do you believe the BU would have a better view from behind and right of the play as oppossed to the PU with the play right in front? Even if the BU could make a call all you would end up with is a good chance of two umpires making a different call on the same play. Again this is a call the PU has got to make.
