I remember a game this summer when a batted ball hit the plate and bounced straight up (okay, it was moving slightly towards the pitcher), the catcher sprang straight forward, gloved the ball and easily threw out the runner at first (beautiful play, HTBH). Then:

PU: "Foul Ball".
Coach: "Foul? Why?"
PU: "Ball struck the plate."

I had to bite my toungue in half. Especially since the coach nodded sagely and turned around in full acceptance of the answer.
