Can we get the plate brushed?

It sounds like I am in the minority, but if a catcher asked me to clean the dish, it would probably not bug me. I tend to try to treat catchers with a lot of respect and give them a lot of leeway during the game since they are sacrificing their own bodies to keep me from getting killed. The issue around the coach yelling the request would depend on the tone, manner and actions that have gone on to that point. Seems like a small thing to pick a fight over to me.

Most of the time, if dust falls on it and I do not want to hold up the game at that point I just step forward and swipe the edges with my foot to make sure I can see them. That seems to work OK and does not hold up play.
