Funny how a post can affect the responses just because I happen to be the coach this time rather than the blue.

No. The tone of the responses was because we all placed ourselves into the situation you posed and then empathized with the umpire. As a coach, asking the umpire to clean the plate is just a way to be a weisenheimer. When they can't see it, the catcher or pitcher will let the umpire know. Otherwise, let the umpire decide when it needs sweeping.
