All those things are judgments based on what the umpire sees. There is no way that the plate ump saw the ball hit the ground. Zero possibility. It wasn't a judgment, it was a guess.
He did not see the ball caught.
He judged the pitch was an uncaught third strike.
He signalled "live ball".
He signalled a strike.
The catcher fell asleep.
Oh, my!
