He judged the pitch was an uncaught third strike.

I won't argue semantics with you, Mick, but I don't see how you can make a judgment with no information.

He signalled "live ball".

Nobody except the umpire crew knew that. In fact, now that I think about it, I don't even think the first base ump knew it. I will go watch the replay. But the only person that
needed to know it had his back to the umpire.
The catcher did what he does after every caught third strike that ends an inning. That's not falling asleep.
