JFC, some people really put a lot of effort in absolving their own team and placing blame on umps/refs... the home run was clearly a home run. Balls/strikes that are called one way or another are more common than any other missed call in sports..... might as well complain about a holding call that cost a team a Super Bowl.
Ask Red Sox fans how they feel about being a strike that wasn't a strike away from being out of an inning tied, yet the Astros tacked on another 7 runs (or whatever).
In the grand scheme of bad calls, a strike that wasn't a strike, which didn't end an at bat or an inning or a series all by itself is relatively minor and could have happened in the 2nd or 5th or 7th inning.
I wouldn't destroy a trash can over it.
