Bob,
I'm sure that, like me, Steve only does so when he's prepared to "back it up" by also citing the appropriate case play references.
Charlie,
That's quite a call. A couple of questions that I'm not clear on from your post:
1. Did the catcher catch the pitch in flight?
2. Was the catcher able to remove the ball from his mitt? Or did you make your call before determing that?
JM
P.S. Do you have many ejections in your games?
