No one knows why the wheels came off the car when they did for Gardy, but most managers don't have such long runs of success before needing a rebuild. Unfortunately, the organization took the car to a terrible mechanic who made the problems with the car permanent. Whether or not Gardy has any blame for the one failed season, Gardy is not to blame for the team's long, deep dive. I hope Gardy is OK and will be with us for a long time. Given the timing, this may be just as much about the state of the Tigers as it is about Gardenhire's health.
