OK, so if the answer is no, as I always thought, the other questions are negated.
Why then, would I be told to drop my hand before calling "play"; not after?
I have done it that way because the pitcher can see me and the batter can not.

I cannot answer that, because I wouldn't even consider to call "play" when the ball is already live (remember, NOT time out).

Yeah, my usually too brief typing did not say "after a time out".
