Judging by the answers given in the posts before yours, it appears to me that cc6 had a legitmate question (and that he is probably a new umpire, probably three years or less of experience, I am guessing). Therefore, that makes his question not a dumb question but your post a dumb post.

Not a dumb question? You were judging from these answers? Look again:

That, or pay attention when he throws a ball.

Hey, don't get ticked off - a dumb question deserves a dumb answer!

These are all dumb answers to a dumb question. The phrase "there is no such thing as a dumb question" is a lie. There is, and this is an example.
The answer is to work the slot or the GD stance (you choose), and when you see a runner stealing, get the heck out of the catcher's way. It's not hard, nor is it rocket science.
I think a catcher clipped me one time about 20 years ago, and that was the one and only time. It shouldn't be a problem.
