I can understand the ump making a mistake on whether the ball hit the dirt or not, but to call the guy out and then allow him on base...

He never called him out. He merely called a third strike.

"He never called him out. He merely called a third strike."

Not true. Watch again. The ump raises his arm vertically and makes a fist. That means OUT.
