The umpire made the hand signal that looked like he was calling the batter out, but he didn't actually call him out verbally. That's why AJ ran in the first place. Josh Paul didn't have the experience to know what to do in that situation, while AJ did.
It's only a big deal because of the circumstances, but calls are blown like that all the time. It was a judgement call and a tough one, but the umpire made it and the Angels have to live with it. I think the White Sox will win this in 6 and it'll be forgotten.
