I thought he had the plate to start with and upon watching the replay I believe that he did.
Watch the left foot that blocks the plate - where it is when he slides and then after his hand and arm hit the foot where the foot ends up.
Looks like he knocked the foot back and slid right over the edge of the plate.
Also just watching the Padres F2 and F1 neither of them acted like he saw a miss.
So all in all a good call. Now if F2 had caught the ball might have been different because he would have been able to block the player better.
That's my take.
