Following the Bad News Bears play to end the game, Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch had the following to say to the media.
From Detroit Free Press:
“That was a very ugly ending to an otherwise well-played game,” manager AJ Hinch said. “We did a lot of good things tonight and put ourselves in position, and then made a mess of the ninth.”
“Just try to keep encouraging them,” Hinch said. “I didn’t say anything to the group. I’ll work my way into the dining area and sit down with some guys. We got to pick ourselves up and get back to the ballpark tomorrow. It was a cold night. We did a lot of good things. It didn’t end our way. It’ll be hopefully better tomorrow.”

FROM LAST NIGHT:
Welp. This is going to be a tough one to shake off.
After trailing 3-1 in the top of the eighth inning, the Detroit Tigers took a 4-3 lead following a Javier Baez 3-run bomb.

Unfortunately, the Tigers were not able to hold the lead and they ended up losing the game on a play that looked like it was straight out of a Bad News Bears movie.
Rather than trying to explain what happened, we will let you watch for yourself.
Tigers lose 5-4.
Oh no. The Tigers just figured out the worst way possible to lose a ball game. Wow
