It's not the actual call itself in question, it's the fact that the umpire called strike 3, then called him out. In the replays you can see he indicated strike 3 then made a fist and called him out. I was watching the umpire meeting on tv and the umpire said "I didn't call him out but there's alot of noise in the stadium and blah blah" which was total bullshit. He STILL should have tagged him but the umpire goes 'out!' you presume you're in the clear.

All I can say it's lucky for the umpire it was a home game and not in California.
