If you are literally taking out your brush you should clean the plate or you get what you deserve. I've never seen a good umpire not call timeout when he cleans the plate in college, minors, or the pros. He may not say it but he throws hand up and then puts it back in play when he is done and ready.

I've never seen an umpire do that at those levels unless necessary.
