In the “well duh” news of the day, CBS Sports is reporting that Brad Ausmus‘ job as Detroit Tigers manager is in serious jeopardy.
Jon Heyman writes that fans are blaming him for the current state of affairs for the last place club and “people familiar with the Tigers’ situation wonder if ‘players stopped playing for him.'”
That’s a damning revelation if true, that players would just stop trying to win because of a manager. It is as much of an indictment on the players as it is the manager.
