It’s been a wild week in Tiger Town. The entire sports media complex, along with more casual elements of the fanbase, all seemed to have finally popped the red pill. From apathy, if not a total lack of attention, over the past few years, suddenly sports media hosts and social media pundits have fully flipped the switch and are now calling for general manager Al Avila’s head. As the Tigers return to Detroit, they’re not going to have the welcome mat rolled out for their homecoming.
The problem, is that much of the criticism is based on things that matter not at all to the Tigers future.
