I would like to apologize first to the fans, MLB, my teammates and the Brewers organization as well as the Braves organization.

The way I carried myself on the field is unacceptable, I should have done better to control myself and set a good example.

In the heat of the moment I let my emotions get the best of me. As a professional athlete I have to respect the game.

I should have not let the situation escalate. I would like to put this behind and do what I love, and that is play baseball at 110%.

Again my apologies to everyone that I may have offended I truly regret it. Thank you and have a good night God Bless. #CG27
