Mark - are you sure you have what the umpire decided correctly... both of these require SOME judgement.
In scenario 1, if the umpire felt the ball hit the bat (and not the bat hit the ball), it's Play On (in neither scenario is this a foul ball, unless the ball was in foul territory when it hit the bat).
In scenario 2, if the umpire felt the ball had some arc to it (this is not the technically best way to describe it, but it's the simplest), then you have a catch, and an out on the runner for not tagging, NOT a foul tip. Again, ruling correctly.
Were you the coach in these two situations? If so, what exactly did the umpire say he saw (what everyone else "saw" is immaterial). If he saw something different that what is described in this post, did you protest?
