I'll bet not.
Though they may have booted these two calls out of ignorance, they also failed to boot you out of ignorance.

Actually, I asked permission to speak to the umpire before I entered the field and had my rule book in hand when I asked. Out of courtesy, and in compliance with the rules, I ask permission before I leave the dugout unless I am coaching a base.
And the ball had rolled about 6" outside the first baseman's glove hand on the oustide of his foot. He was about 6 feet from the first base line.
