We are back, folks, here on the Michigan Insider, on the Big 1050WTCA online at Big 1050.com.

We had a Tigers fan so upset with the Tigers and so much in agreement with us that he went back on Twitter.

Is that right?

John's Jr. 53 tweeted at us.

I just downloaded this app back to tell you guys I won't watch or listen to the Tigers. The owner's managers don't deserve a dime for fumbling this bad. Not spending my time or money on an organization this awful. I get the sentiment. Now, I'm not putting this on Scott Harris. I'm not putting this on A.J. Hinch. I am 100% putting this on Chris, Chris Illich, because this is ownership.

You can tell that this is an ownership decision.

And it has been for a while about how this is being handled because no good general

manager, I guess maybe I'm putting, or president of operations, whatever his title is,

maybe I'm giving him too much credit, but no good front office person is going to it the way that it's been handled. There are other ways that we've talked about. There are ways to, like, we may not sign you, but we can make you really happy with us right now. Exactly. And they've done none of that. And this is all comes from the top. And so I appreciate you jumping back on Twitter to tell us that.

But I get it. The support for this team, you would, they're coming into a season, coming off of a season where they make the playoffs and now, you know, obviously they stub their, you know, they stumble down the stretch. But there should be optimism around this team and there should be excitement around this team. And there are a lot of fans that are going to go, yeah, I'm going to buy less tickets or I'm not buying any tickets or I'm not watching.

Now, it may be easier to not watch if they don't get this fan dual sports situation figured

out.

But I understand that there are, he's not going to be the only person saying, I'm not

buying tickets this year.

I'm not going to be the only person saying, I'm not buying tickets this year. I'm not going to a game. Now, will the owners really see it? Will they really feel it? I want to see how it plays out over the most of the season. You can make the tigers feel it. I mean, because, and let me be clear, look, their financial realities are challenging. They don't have a TV deal right now. That's a problem. That's a part of it. And this looming potential lockout is definitely a thing. But you can, there's a way to placate your fans. And there's a way to placate your star. Right. And they are doing neither. We've talked about it. They kept saying, as the season was ending, we don't talk about this we don't talk about that but you can say

we love this guy we want this guy to be part of our franchise and we're going to make every

effort to do that whether you actually make every effort to do that or not does it matter you

have to say it and they've said nothing and you they probably lost a few season tickets they're

definitely going to lose the walkoff some walkoff numbers And so what are the numbers going to look like? The best way to show the Tigers this year, honestly, is to only go to games when Scoobool pitches. And when he doesn't pitch, even if you have tickets, try to sell them, go, whatever it is, because they don't get your hot dog money, they don't get your beer money, they don't get your

parking money.

I don't only go

to games at school.
