Should be a blast when Fat Gene or Legendary Lloyd take over.
Nobody saying the team is going to get good overnight if one of those take over. But Avila allowed Brad to be a lame duck. You pretty much need to fire him ASAP at this point and get a new regime next season.

Howie...thought better of you, better I guess you've teamed up with a junior high cretin who spouts profanity to get his point across. Too bad.

I can't ever have an opinion that differs from yours, or I am "TEAMING UP" with someone? Too bad for you, if you think your opinion can never be challenged.

Romine has played every position, aside from catcher.

Anybody complain about Collins going down for Norris? Lefties are hitting nearly twice what righties are against Max this year.

just trying to give you guys some extra options.

That was just wicked stuff. He's always had that but 0 walks with that stuff. Damn, that was fun to watch. I miss that guy.

In the 8th, he could have pinch-hit Casty for the pitcher instead of using his backup catcher. Instead, he pinch-hits Salty there, and screws himself for the 9th. Salty very well could have whiffed in McCann's spot in the 9th, but we'll never know because Ausmus screwed himself out of making any moves without effing up the catcher position.

This doesn't excuse the 20 whiffs by the Tigers or slight the same for Max. It's just an example of a manager who is consistently making head-scratching decisions in-game.
Lefties are hitting over .300 against Max. Rights something like .160. Right handed pinch hitters weren't really anything I was looking for when a lefty was available.

I don't agree with Iffy but Lions are u 10 years old? Grow up...
When I try to explain Ausmus' bad moves, he just calls me a joke. Fuck him dude. He doesn't really want to have a conversation about anything. Sick of his shit. This has been going on for 7 years and he hasn't changed 1 bit. He does this in every Michigan team board too.

The main reason the Tigers lost was Max Scherzer. Not disputing that. All I said was that Ausmus took away some better chances to tie or win the game.

Anybody want to discuss the players on the field. You know, the guys who actually win or lose the games?

You missing the part where you're opinions are ridiculous though.

Most people agree with me. I know you like every manager the Tigers hired and stated that Ausmus was a great hire 2 years ago. But you need to realize that it isn't the case at all. I notice the only coach you really wanted gone the last 5 years was Caldwell, who has had a decent overall record with the Lions. Shit blunders and all. Some of you guys act like managers have no influence on the outcome of the game and are just there collecting a paycheck, like any of us would be qualified if that were the case.

We have. DOZENS of times. It's a team game...including the manager and coaches.

Get over yourself, God of the Detroit Tiger Boards.

Yes bringing up Norris right now wasn't the best move.

Okay....lol. Like who? People who want a shortstop to play catcher for the first time in his life In the ninth inning of a major league game?

I like how you strawman this. What about my 7th inning moves was wrong? It was his fault he didn't have another catcher regardless. Miami is right. You tend to cherry pick shit way too much dude.

Sorry that I don't follow along with the crowd and scream "Fire the Manager" at the drop of a hat. I have always felt that was the easy way out. You give almost any manager good players and he becomes a good manager. Ausmus #1 problem - he does not have enough good players. (I know, a Tiger fan SHOULD think all Tiger players are good - or will be good)

I hope, for some of you, that firing the manager will make you feel better. And your yelling about it here will make it seem like you've been heard if or when it happens.

However, if you think you are also punishing Ausmus....think twice.

What does strawman mean?

I see RightWing assholes use it on the PF forum, but have no clue what they're getting in general.
