We have polled the fans on their approval of Tigers’ manager Brad Ausmus each month this season, and nearly every result has set a new record for an all-time low. Our last poll was no exception, with Ausmus registering a paltry 18 percent approval after a recent 2-6 stretch had many fans warming to the idea of selling at the trade deadline. That figure stands in stark contrast to the results of our first poll of the season, where Ausmus received 92 percent approval as the Tigers sat on a shiny 8-1 record.
Since our last poll, the Tigers have won 14 games and lost 23, a record that may actually sound pretty nice to those that have been paying attention to the 1-9 streak that may or may not be ongoing.
