The lead is small. In that situation, you can't get doubled off. I got the best secondary lead I could, and it didn't work out."
"Upon rewatching, however, it looked as though it took Kiner-Falefa a few steps to get into high gear, and he even peeked over his left shoulder a bit to gauge where the grounder was hit in relation to Rojas."

Doesn't explain why he slowed himself down by sliding into home plate. Overrunning home plate isn't a problem.
