As we get ready to return to our fall routines, let’s continue to look back at what fans were thinking about the Tigers in August. Time has the ability to change perception and our opinions.
I’ve picked 5 of the most interesting polls readers voted in. This time period was still a tough one for fans but halfway through, things started to turn around.
Take a look at each poll. Did the fans get each one right? Did you get them right? Looking back, would you have changed your vote?
After each poll, I ask a question. Grab one and run with it.

Exactly. It's just Scott Harris' dumb idea to rotate relief pitchers between Toledo and Detroit. All that tells me is they don't have enough good relievers.

The A’s sadly hit the ball better then we do right now.
Every team has gone through at least a couple rough stretches. Milwaukee followed up their big winning streak going 4-6. Dodgers have had several losing streaks. Yanks, Toronto, everyone. Which is why I cant understand why we didnt do more at the deadline. This is as wide open a season as I can ever remember and we could've separated ourselves.

My thoughts exactly. And it might have to do with his tunnel vision and the obsession of bringing "everything" through their minor league system, other than what we have been treated to with patch jobs low lying fruit and reclamation projects.
I just don't get the direction this team is going. If its indeed build from within then what are they doing with skubal. His value goes down with every start he makes and what is the point of keeping him of you don't currently think you're in a window to win it all? He could have brought in one of the biggest hauls of prospects in mlb history.

AJ Hinch: "We had a really shitty series. We didn't play well. We got beat in all facets...When you get outplayed on offense, defense, pitching, across the board, it's painful to wait and painful to experience as a team. We know we're going to be better."

Sloppy series vs. A's doesn't define Detroit Tigers, but one concern stands out.

Casey Mize was 9-2 with a 2.63 ERA, 73 K, and a 1.18 WHIP when he got selected to the All-Star team. He has a 6.19 ERA since the break. Allowed 40 hits in just 32 innings and has walked 10. WTF happened?
Mize has given up 28 ER since July 12. That’s 28 ER in his last 35 IP (8 starts) 7.20 ERA.
Mize in AUG. 26.1 IP 17 ER 27 H 5 HR 5.81 ERA follows a July ERA of 6.32
Mize last 9 games started since 7/1 42 IP 28 ER 6.00 ERA 1.52 WHIP
an absolute dumpster fire.
The Tigers mourn the passing of former player Daryl Patterson and share our condolences with his loved ones. Patterson pitched in Detroit for four seasons, helping the Tigers win the World Series in 1968.

Spencer Torkelson finally finds his level for the Tigers.
He hasn’t developed into an elite power hitter, but Torkelson has finally become a consisent presence for the Tigers.

With 10 games remaining in the regular season, the West Michigan Whitecaps hold a six-game lead over the Midwest League East and sit seven games shy of tying their franchise record 92 wins set in 1997.

The Detroit Tigers deserved to get swept by the Athletics in a series where they were outplayed in every aspect of the game.
Pain.

The Detroit Tigers looked like a minor league team in a minor league ballpark, with the Las Vegas-bound A's temporarily playing in West Sacramento.

There is 1 month left in the Detroit Tigers’ 2025 season. Two months if all goes well.
For most of the year, the Tigers have had the best record in baseball. Today, it’s 3rd best (through Thursday’s games) but not by much. A lot of players – as well as those who don’t play on the field – are credited with contributing to the team’s success.
But which player do you believe has contributed the most to this team’s superb winning record?
Because it’s Friday, you’ve got 5 choices to consider. And to make this interesting, we’re going to make your decision a little more challenging. Tarik Skubal is an automatic selection for obvious reasons so we’re taking his name off the board.
There are quite a few viable candidates. Too many to include in today’s poll. And as such, we’re not nominating other pitchers such as Will Vest because he’s only appeared in one-third of this year’s games compared with the rest of the player options.
Those who made the list were evaluated for their extra-base hits, RBI’s, overall slash lines and WAR. And it was a very close nomination race and a number of players like Dillon Dingler were very worthy but juuust missed out.
So who gets your vote?
Excluding Tarik Skubal, which player has contributed the most to the team's success this year?
1. Kerry Carpenter
2. Riley Greene
3. Zach McKinstry
4. Spencer Torkelson
5. Gleyber Torres
VOTE
I already did that in mid July.
