You gotta keep in mind that we have no idea what's going on with these guys. There's very little injury/fatigue info out there in baseball. The pitching thing is kind of silly but I see his point.
Yes, it's time for a change.
No, he's still a good manager
Maybe. It's too early in the season to tell.

I think his plan is more to do with getting Fister in the #2 spot without short resting him or skipping him altogether and letting him get rusty:
Wednesday Scherzer/Fister
Thursday Turner
Friday Porcello
Saturday Verlander
Sunday Fister (if he only gets a couple innings Wed)
Monday Scherzer
Tuesday Turner or Penny
Wednesday Porcello
That way he can use Fister in game 2 without having to skip his normal start that would have been Tuesday (he would have been pitching on 4 days rest to do that).
Playoffs:
9/30 Verlander (+1 day rest)
10/1 Fister (normal rest if started Sunday as above)
10/3 Scherzer (+1 day rest)
Not sure if you do Verlander on 4 days rest for #4 or not. Maybe it depends on how the series goes?
Phil Wenneck: The man purse. You actually gonna wear that or are you just fuckin' with me?
Alan Garner: It's where I keep all my things. Get a lot of compliments on this. Plus it's not a purse, it's called a satchel. Indiana Jones wears one.
I do agree the resting is concerning for position players. Playing at NY and hosting a struggling Boston are vastly different situations. Yeah, guys need some rest, but they still need to win.
