Fonz, the ball wasn't dead when it hit the ground, but it was dead when it hit your player. This umpire is, as has been pointed out, a "Smitty" and needs to be banned from umpiring at least for telling you to shut up, much less for not knowing a simple baseball rule. It's okay for a coach not to know some of the rules, but umpires are supposed to know them, especially the basic ones like this one.
