Mighty looooooooooong stretch to apply that here!
Well, you could always draw a line around the plate after you brush it off!

I wouldn't call any infraction with the pitcher covering the plate, but if I beleived it was to desguise an infraction (24" width or not being in contact), I might just have to "judge" the plate to be just a smidge on the small side.
