More importantly, Irish, if you were UIC, do you feel that's the proper mechanic/body language in that case? I do: I think it demonstrates we are attentive and alert without giving any advantage to either team. Other blues I have worked with have disagreed, saying we should treat it "normally" then make the correct call on appeal.

No, I don't. Once the player, and for that matter the entire team, moved away from the plate, all the umpires should have moved to return to their respective position to continue play just as you would on any other play. IMO, in this case, the umpire did not do that.
