The man has lost control of the pulse of the Tigers. This 15-5 debacle against the Twins has included two scored errors, probably four more major mental blunders in the field, 7 walks, 15 runs on 12 hits for the last place but capable Twins.
Not this capable without a major assist from a blundering and underachieving unit as their opponent. Dombrowski has not helped with the Fister trade.
I have watched the Tigers with intent interest since 1967 and this is the sorriest performance that I have ever seen them turn in.
My best friend Cliff had lunch with none other than the great Al Kaline Wednesday and Al, in a candid relaxed atmosphere was asked if Ausmus was a good manager. Ever the diplomat, Al said that he is "going to be" a good manager. This is NOT the time for "going" to be a good manager. Lloyd McClendon has worked wonders with the Mariners. I wish we had Lloyd here as manager in Detroit to "walk off the field" with 2nd base in his hands and light a FIRE under these underachievers.
I would offer Tony LaRussa ANY amount of money to take this team over through the 2015 season.
And NOW!

Fire Gonzalez wile you're at it. Yes, Fredi is no Casey Stengel either. The Braves have had crippling injuries to the pitching staff as you know but they are definitely underachieving. Injuries are part of the game. The good managers find a way to steer the ship past them.

Tigers fans always blaming the manager Agreed bksballer89, but the Yankees have close to as good a record as the Tigers and they don't have three former Cy Young winners and their entire pitching staff save for David Robertson has been crippled most of the season. Generally former catchers make outstanding managers. Your Joe Girardi is one. Ausmus may become one as Mr. Kaline pointed out but he has made numerous blunders with the pitching staff at times throughout the season.

Tigers fans always blaming the manager Finally bksballer89, let me add that you cannot describe any fan base with one broad stroke of the brush. Jim Leyland would make me mad at times in his eight year reign in Detroit, but I never wanted him fired.
