Can't believe it. He was the most exciting young pitcher to watch. He may have had the nastiest raw stuff I've ever witnessed. What a horrible loss to the game. Prayers to his family and the Marlins.

This is as stunning as it gets. R.I.P.

We lost somebody who could've been a Hall of Famer.

A truly great young player, joyful personality, and particularly beloved by the Cuban-American citizens of Miami. He risked his life to defect to this country. I feel terrible for his family, those close to him, his teammates, the citizens of Miami, and all Marlins fans. A tremendous loss. RIP

Jailed twice at the age of fifteen for trying to flee Cuba. Baby on the way. Fascinating life. Big tragedy.

I think others on the boat lost their life as well according to the NYT story I read. Very sad.

and I know probably not the time to question this, but have to....anyone know why his start today was pushed back to tomorrow (Monday).

Had it not, you wonder if he's out at 3 a.m. the night b4 a start.

First thing I thought of, which shows my vintage baseball mind, is Charlie Ferguson passing away after the 1887 season. He was also 24 when he pitched his last game. A superstar in the making with 99 career wins already, plus he batted .337 and drove in 85 runs his last year, taking turns in the infield when he wasn't on the mound. A budding superstar at the time and possibly a future Hall of Famer. I don't think Ferguson's Old Judge card prices really reflect the tragedy of his passing from typhoid fever.

(I have one of his cards, but no scan, so here's a random one I found of Google)

they were in the wildcard hunt and played the mets mon , they were hoping his start could allow them to pick up a a whole win towards the WC rather than a 50/50 shot of half a win by starting against the braves and then hoping the mets lost too.

but yeah, I doubt he's out late with a noon start today.... but that's life

What a great pitcher who was already experienced MLBer at 24. I would watch him pitch when ever I could on my MLB subscription. A huge loss to MLB. Prayers to his family and friends. RIP Jose.

Just came in from work and saw the news. 24 is far too young no matter your profession, but I will say this. Almost more than any other young athlete, I honestly enjoyed watching him pitch. I'll tune into games because of the matchup. I'll tune into games because of the rivalries. I'll tune into games simply because they are on. I thoroughly enjoy the sport of baseball and I thoroughly enjoyed tuning into games specifically to watch him pitch. His ability was mesmerizing. There are great pitchers coast to coast, and several are arguably better than him, but strictly from the prospective of watching a person take the mound and try to hurl a baseball past another man - there was no current player I took more joy in watching than Jose.

I'm still shocked. I was a huge fan. Jose played the game the right way, and his enthusiasm was infectious. As far as pitchers go, he was a beast! I agree, some of the nastiest stuff I've ever seen. To come back from Tommy John the way he did this season....man, I just can't believe it.

This is a terrible, terrible loss for baseball. My heart goes out to his family, and the Marlins fans & organization.

I was just going to send this in for grading, too.



Rest in Peace, Jose.

Two young men I thought were going to be absolute superstars gone so young, and in such close proximity. I'm still not over Oscar Taveras' tragic death. Now this.

Hug your loved ones close tonight, folks. Nothing is guaranteed. Life is a gift, and it can be over in the blink of an eye.

I rarely post here (hi, everyone)... watch the first five minutes of this clip... grab some tissues to soak up those tears. Such a painful loss. I wish more professional athletes were like Jose, across all sports. Imagine losing your childhood hero today. That's what just happened to too many young fans. I can't wait to hug my grandmother again.

Jofer's tragic passing reminds me of Lyman Bostock . He also died towards the end of his fourth season ending what was a promising career. RIP Jofer.

My God, Jose and Arnie, both passing within 24 hours of each other. One a long and fulfilled life and the other just starting after early years filled with peril. This is a "Black Monday" for sure. Living in South Florida as I do, the shock here is palatable. The Marlins are in the race for a wild card slot and fans thought Jose was going to get them there. And I never thought I would see Don Mattingly cry. He showed he is as human as anybody.

Yeah, though all of the facts aren't out yet, there was clearly a series of poor decisions made. It takes hitting a jetty at one hell of a speed for your boat to end up looking like that.

I am leery of boats under the best of circumstances. The idea of being on a boat in the dark going high speed would be beyond terrifying.

Whats sad as well is his estate will be sued by both the estates of the the other passengers in his boat if Jose was driving the boat, or if Jose wasn't driving, his estate will be sued by the passenger that was not driving as Jose was the owner of the boat..

You will hear about these lawsuits once the dust settles...

That's the American way. I was reading about the NJ transit crash this morning. By standers assisted a woman who had her legs pinned between cars. I don't know if I would do the same thing after reading about another woman who sued a good Samaritan for pulling her from her burning car. She was paralyzed as a result of her accident and then sued her rescuer for moving her. Sometimes I think this world wasn't meant for me.

Im sure she sued someone else with the rescuer with a deep pocket like the governmental agency/company/insurance company. I doubt the goal was to collect from the rescuer personally.

If there was alcohol in the system of Jose Fernandez or one of the drivers, the damages could easily exceed the 6 million in earnings he made...

No she specifically sued the person who pulled her from her burning car and said it was their fault she was paralyzed. Even worse, it was her own friend. Read for yourself:

Article still doesnt address insurance or anyone else being sued. Its possible the victim may be suing her auto insurance for example but you would also have to name the rescuer in the lawsuit. If you knew case style, like whats the name of the case in court that could shed light on that issue

Funny i just finished the message and a quick google search proves my point..

http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/H...ns-5687227.php

The lawsuit is only going forward because there is potential auto insurance out there to pay a judgment that can be in the millions of dollars. (one carrier paid 4 million) If the only pocket was the rescuer there almost certainly would be no lawsuit.

I dont blame someone who is paralyzed to sue a rescuer when insurance covers the incident and no money comes out of the rescuer.


You cant say i dont contribute anything to the forum

...exactly why ambulance chasers have such a stellar reputation with the public.

Injury law is sketchy as can be.

Only surpassed by the firms that throw massive class actions out there so they can pocket millions and mail a tidy check for 55 cents to 60 thousand people.

Default Mylan Hicks - 1993 - 2016

Up here in Canada, we also mourned on Sunday for a young Practice Roster player named Mylan Hicks. He played at Michigan State, tried out for the 49ers, and ended up here in Calgary.

By all accounts, an absolutely stand up guy. 23 years old, good student, and in the wrong place at the wrong time on Saturday night.

http://calgaryherald.com/opinion/col...ut-mylan-hicks

The story is he actually ended up buying a drink for the punk who eventually shot him, trying to calm things down in the club. Originally from Detroit, apparently his mother was quite glad to have her son come to Canada where he would be safer. It's just sad to see someone who comes to our country in pursuit of a dream, and just ends up paying the worst price.

I'm pretty sure most of you don't get much news on our little league up here, but they're athletes just trying to make a living.
