That's bull****.
But Josh Paul wouldn't have seen ANY signal. The umpire could've pulled his pants down and jiggled his junk and Paul wouldn't have known. The catcher has to go on what the umpire says there, and if the umpire didn't say anything his hand motion didn't matter much.

I think the guy made a mistake, maybe two mistakes, but it wasn't a mistake that wasn't impossible to overcome. In fact, if Paul had just done what he was supposed to do it would've been going to extra innings.
