As for a ball bouncing over the bag - if any part of the ball goes over the bag it is a fair ball.

I had an example play this year, luckily we were working 3-man crew because 2 man would have never gotten it.
Ball is hit hard just inside the line, (maybe 2 or 3 inches) bounces in front of the bag foul, but then as it goes over the back corner of the bag into foul territory it just scrapes the bag. Fair ball.
I know if I was PU I would have called it foul.
I asked PU and he thought it was foul.
Anyway it can happen.
