I've never seen a baseball completely settle on top of the plate. I guess my catchers are just smarter than your's in my neck-o-the-woods.
Or maybe my plates are sloped...rolling towards the infield perhaps.
Washburn wrote something incorrectly in his post, and I called him on it. My apologies if you find my sarcasm offensive. I didn't think umpires could have their feelings hurt so easily.
If I was in attack mode I would say something about the guy that ejected a batter for not getting in the box. There are prescribed penalties for that. Prescribe that penalty once or twice and he could have gotten mgr and player. That would have been more fun.
Have Fun with this one...

Happened to me in a 16U tourney game Saturday. Catcher scooped it off the plate, I pointed fair, catcher tagged batter (who never moved). Didn't hear a word from the OC.
