Well I would call it a pitching plate. Were a coach or player to refer to it as a rubber, even though it is made of wood, I would not twist on it. When a coach calls it a mound, I do not get frantic. It means nothing. Its a term.

It is simply an irrelevent issue made of a common term that some umpires just LOVE to twist on. Maybe you all are bored. I got other things to concern myself.
