LOOKING BACK – PART 4.
Totally Tigers

Today, let’s finish off reviewing the most recent polls to see how well we anticipated the Tigers’ moves and performance results. Sometimes, distance gives us a better perspective. At the very least, the overall fan response can be eye-opening.

Today, we’re starting with mid-March and finishing in mid-April.
I’m pulling the most interesting polls. They can be in agreement with what is going on today – or they can be wildly off.
As you read through all of these, find the one that caught your attention the most and tell us about it in the comments.

These are the latest polls and the Tigers have already made changes. And we’re seeing results. Did you see any of this coming?
How well did your voting match the results?

Days Of Roar Tigers Podcast: Spirits are high for Detroit Tigers, but is it time to worry about Riley Greene? 47 minutes.
With Evan still out on the PL (paternity leave), Mark brings in Detroit Free Press high school sports reporter Jared Ramsey, who’s been covering the Tigers for the past week. The guys talk the team’s series loss to the Milwaukee Brewers and series win over the Kansas City Royals. Jared and Mark cover the strong starts from Casey Mike, Jackson Jobe and how Spencer Torkelson is continuing to hit this season. While the vibes overall for the team remain good, not all is well for the Tigers as Riley Greene’s slump continues to linger. The guys take a deep dive into what’s looking different so far for the star outfielder. Later in the show, Mark and Jared preview the upcoming matchups against the San Diego Padres and Baltimore Orioles. The guys also offer updates on player injuries at both the major and minor leagues, plus Mark proposes a dark horse free agent candidate the team could pursue for bullpen help that fans should recognize.
