“Through my eyes I thought the play was going to end up on the outside of the plate,” he wrote in a tweet. “I made a split second decision at full speed to slide head first on the inside part of the plate. That decision got another player hurt and I feel awful. I hope nothing but the best for @JLucroy20”
