And, for the last time, why should stealing be denied just because the ball did not cross the plate?

You can feel free to give us an opinion regardless of the thinkning of ASA.
You are an umpire I presume, not a clone.

Is pitched ball live when it hits the dirt in front of home plate for the batter? In other words, can he "cricket" the ball down the left field line after the ball has bounced?
