So, I think there *is* an argument that can be made that the ball *does* eventually become live without the umpire necessarily having to declare it so.
Opinions?

David,
Every level that I work, I infer a live ball for the pitcher to pitch. Before the first pitch of an inning I most often say, "Play". After calls of "Time", I most often say, "Play". When I clean the plate, I infer, "Time" about 1/2 the time.
Yet, before I infer "Play" with a point, I survey the field, particularly my partners to assure myself that everything is copasetic.
I would have sent the runner back.
