Bob Sacamano Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 25, 2016 -> 09:21 AM) Very sad. If he hadn't have been pushed back a day, he probably wouldn't have been on that boat. The cruel hands of fate. RIP. Reminds me of the Oscar Taveres death. If the Cards had stayed in the playoffs a bit longer that season, he'd still likely be alive.

TheChrisSamsa Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Sep 25, 2016 -> 09:19 AM) Coast Guard going on ESPN SportsCenter at 930. If anyone can watch and give a summary, that would be great. Key notes: 32 foot boat hit a Jetty and turned over, damage to the boat was pretty substantial (totaled). Boat was found between 3:15a and 3:30a. Speed was involved. Three total dead, all male, Jose was the only athlete. Nobody was wearing a life vest, no drugs or alcohol were found. The boat was not Jose's and he has been a passenger on that boat before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Sep 25, 2016 -> 09:19 AM) Coast Guard going on ESPN SportsCenter at 930. If anyone can watch and give a summary, that would be great. Around 3 AM a 30 foot boat was spotted upside down on the rock jetty. Two bodies under the vessel, one in the water, dead on the scene. Weird press conference, lots of giggles before it actually started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 This is devastating loss for baseball. He was an amazing pitcher and competitor. He loved the game and played with passion while having fun playing every day which is missed in the game today. I feel awful for his teammates, family, his wife, and unborn child.

Jose Abreu Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Very tragic. I bet Jose Fernandez and Oscar Taveras would have been two of the best players in the game 5 years from now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 The video of Dee Gordon on the mound, decorated with #16, is f***ing heart breaking. I couldn't blame the Marlins if they tried to just forfeit the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) Absolutely devastating. One of the best pitchers in the game on track to possibly win the Cy Young this year. Condolences to his family and the Marlins. I wouldn't be able to handle such a loss if I were a player on the team. I'd be bawling my eyes out if I was a Marlins fan.

Kalapse Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 He was the epitome of everything that's awesome about baseball, he truly enjoyed every second he spent on the diamond and made the game so f***ing fun to watch both with his electric stuff and personality. Just heartbreaking, he'll sorely be missed by all. This is a devastating day for the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (hi8is @ Sep 25, 2016 -> 12:52 PM) Such a travesty - if I was on the team I would lobby for this course of action. Pack it in and dedicate the silence to him. The Yankees played at night in NY after going to Munson's funeral in Ohio. It's tough, but life moves on and unfortunately they play the Mets, so they have to. Maybe the services will be Thursday on the off day, but they could push Monday's game to Thursday to give them an extra day to regroup.
