QUESTION OF THE WEEK.
Totally Tigers

It?s time again to hear from our readers! Today is the day to let us know what you?re thinking on a selected topic.
Sunday is the one day of the week where we open up the comment parameters for you so you can get those juices flowing.
Comments on THIS DAY ONLY can be expanded to a maximum of 8 sentences.
We can?t wait to get your thoughts on the following topic.

The Tigers hired Chris Fetter as their pitching coach under new manager A.J. Hinch, who had this to say about the hire:
?For us to be good, and for us to get where we want to get to and where Al has directed the organization, we got to get the pitching right,? Hinch said Friday. ?We got a lot better today.?
What is your impression of the Tigers? new pitching coach?
 
I'm more excited about the new hitting & bench & pitching coach. No more Lloyd.

Bless You Boys Tigers Blog Podcast 93: Talking Tigers with Jeff Riger. 98 minutes.
The staff of Bless You Boys talks baseball from a Tigers perspective.

There is no more recognizable voice in Detroit Sports media than that of Jeff Riger. As a reporter and broadcaster, he?s made a name for himself by his willingness to ask the questions fans want asked, and at times irritate the powerful. Joined by Mark Gorosh from the Don?t Call it a Rebuild, it?s a Team Build podcast, we had a fun chat about the Tigers past, present, and future, got some good Jim Leyland stories, and talked the state of talk radio in the social media era.

Recorded the night of November 5th, the night before Chris Fetter and the rest of A.J. Hinch?s coaching staff came together, we kept to a general overview of Jeff?s nearly two decades covering the team. The first hour is devoted to the state of the Tigers and some of Jeff?s experiences covering the team. Starting at about the hour mark we get into Jim Leyland stories. Three way calling via Skype remains a bit of a crapshoot, and the sound is not ideal. My apologies. We have some investments coming up that should make for a more consistent product going forward.

STRAIGHT TALK.
Totally Tigers

Welcome to Straight Talk ? where our writers must respond to a single statement.

The assignment for Kurt and Holly is to pick one side ? yes or no, without straddling both sides. And they must do it in no more than 10 sentences to support their answer.

As always, they have not shared their answers prior to publication in order to determine if they both see the same thing ? or if there are other viewpoints to consider.

In the end, we want to tally your position as well. And to do that, we have included a survey where you can answer, yes or no, in response to today?s Straight Talk statement.

Keep in mind, you are not choosing one of our writers? positions; you are sharing your own based on the statement ? and you can only pick one, don?t straddle both sides!
So, here we go!

The Tiger organization has turned the corner when it comes to modernizing their approach to the game.

1. YES
2. NO
3. Not sure
