Neither am I, for his game calling. Comparing the catchers era, Most all the pitchers had worse with McCann and Holaday behind the plate. and if ausmus is in fact calling the pitches, he might even be having his signs picked by an opposing coach or veteran player.

It might get worse, 2016, before it gets better.

Tigers will pursue two starting pitchers in off-season.
GM Al Avila also says they'll address bullpen and have a 'highly competitive payroll' in 2016.

Avila wouldn?t elaborate on whether the payroll for the upcoming season would be higher or lower, but said a payroll in the $189-200 million range was ?ridiculous.?

But the starting rotation only represents one half of the team?s porous pitching in 2015 ? the Tigers finished last in the American League with a 4.64 ERA ? and said another priority would be adding at least a couple of bullpen arms and specifically, a closer.

?The bullpen needs to be addressed,? Avila said. ?That?s going to be a key.?

He classified the team?s search for a closer as a ?tough task,? citing the lack of options on the free agent market ? former Tiger Joakim Soria, also traded this season, is the only proven choice ? and wouldn?t rule out acquiring an arm via trade or approaching pitchers that lack a lengthy track record.

October 10 in Tigers and mlb history:

1945 - The Detroit Tigers score five runs in the 1st inning of Game Seven of the World Series, and rout the Cubs, 9 - 3, behind Hal Newhouser, who strikes out 10 to win the World Championship.

1968 - Mickey Lolich wins the World Series for the Detroit Tigers by defeating Bob Gibson and the St. Louis Cardinals, 4 - 1, in Game Seven. It is Lolich's third win and comes after the Tigers had lost three of the first four games. Lolich is voted the MVP of the Series.

2013: For the second straight year, the Tigers defeat the Athletics in the 5th game of the Division Series. The team's two biggest stars are the heroes today, as Justin Verlander gives up no runs on 2 hits over 8 innings, while Miguel Cabrera hits a two-run homer off rookie Sonny Gray in the 4th. Joaquin Benoit picks up the save in the 3 - 0 win.
