Well,
After a consideable bevy of games I find the following:
1) Balls 'often' are hit late in the process and many, many times I have had those balls spin forward into fair territory (with out touching the catcher or umpire),
2) An umpire does not actually 'see' the ball hit behind the plate -- after decades of working you know where the ball went and the 'deadness' (compared to a ball striking the plate) of the return to field makes it clear where the ball originally stuck.
