Wow

Deserves his own thread. Truly a star and a great personality. So sad to see him go.

Wow, this is so sad. What a story he's had. What talent. What a future he was going to have. Unbelievable.

 

Honestly, I always wonder why more type-A athletes don't have more accidents doing risky things. The combination of money, opportunities, and feeling immortal is a risky combination.

 

So sad.

One of my favorite players. and everyone else's. RIP

 

Truly sad event. Major talent and seemed like a great guy.

2 others were killed, and today's Marlins-Braves game has been cancelled.

 

The call came in at 3am. He was scheduled to start today.

I know it doesn't matter but he was pushed back to tomorrow. So incredibly sad. Big loss for the baseball world.

 

So sad, was one of the most exciting players to watch. Loved his passion.

You're right, I was just about to edit. Thanks.

 

This is just shocking news.

I almost feel like crying. Just in complete shock. Kid is my age with such a great future.

 

On his Instagram a couple days ago, he posted a picture of his girlfriend....pregnant. So sad.

Definitely the most famous MLB player to die in the prime of his career in decades (Thurman Munson and Clemente)...complete shocker, especially considering fighting to come back even better after the TJ surgery.

 

That organization is probably going to end up in another rebuild and dumping Stanton now.

From the picture, it's difficult to say if they crashed into the jetty or the boat just ended up resting against it due to the waves/tide. Seems like there were enough lights in the area to mark it.

Whoa. He was gonna win multiple Cy Youngs. Whoa.

Whoa. He was gonna win multiple Cy Youngs. Whoa.

 

He'll always be a "could have been a Hall of Famer". We'll never know what he would have done over the next 15 years. It's so sad. I can't imagine what his family and teammates are feeling right now. Even the White Sox Dan Jennings, I feel bad for.

I think everyone in the MLB is sick from this news.

Whoa. He was gonna win multiple Cy Youngs. Whoa.

 

Terribly sad. RIP.

 

Not that it matters, but I hope he wins the CY this year. Numbers wise, he was probably behind Bumgarner and Scherzer (at least), but I hope the voters honor him instead.

This is just awful. So sad.

Wow. Brings me back to 1993/94 spring training. Steve Olin, Tim Crews and Bob Ojeda. Ironically its been 23 years. I know these players need recreation but man gotta kinda measure the dangers. So sad. Remember the story about his grandma coming from cuba... poor woman when she learned of this

Can't believe this

It is unreal. Life is so precious and fragile.

Way down on the list of how this impacts baseball, but unfortunately the Marlins have to play the Mets 3 games this week. If they want to change Monday's game to Thursday, they could- but I'm sure the Marlins just want to go home. So shocking.

So so sad and tragic. A truly amazing talent. Condolences to all that knew him from near and afar.

Coast Guard going on ESPN SportsCenter at 930. If anyone can watch and give a summary, that would be great.

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.

So sad. Prayers to all involved here.
