Detroit Tigers C Eric Haase explains what happened on circus play to lose game

ERIC HAASE EXPLAINS WHAT WENT WRONG

Following the circus-like ending to the game, Detroit Tigers catcher Eric Haase spoke to the media and tried to explain what happened during the play that cost his team the game.

From Detroit News:

“I never had a good grip on the ball,” Haase said. “(The ball) coming in from the outfield, I slipped and then frickin’ grabbed a big, ole’ mud ball and just sailed it. It was a base running mishap by them. I was going to run the guy back and tag both runners, but there’d be no one at home.

“I just tried to pitch it and sailed it.”

*Note: Gregory Soto was covering home on the play but Haase did not know.

ORIGINAL REPORT:

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.
