September 27, 20169 yr The Dee Gordon home run might have been the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in the game of baseball (minus the white sox winning in 05). Only two times I cried watching this game.

September 27, 20169 yr A bag of signed Jose Fernandez baseballs, also containing his checkbook, washed up on the shore yesterday about a mile from the accident.

Or he gives the balls to people when he parks the boat near bars/restaurants. Doesn't seem anything other than three guys in their 20's doing something extremely risky, and the worst thing possible happened.

Doesn't seem anything other than three guys in their 20's doing something extremely risky, and the worst thing possible happened. I only ask because of the texts that talked about how Jose was frustrated and needed to go out. I presume maybe he did just presign balls to give away where he went, I don't know. But the texts did indicate Jose wasn't in a happy state that night (and needed to blow off steam).
September 28, 20169 yr QUOTE (hi8is @ Sep 26, 2016 -> 11:53 PM) That was unreal. Gotta say it... And it takes nothing away from that momentous at-bat.... I think Colon grooved that whole sequence with an intention of giving a lead off home run. An 85 mph meat ball center cut and in on 2-0 just screams, "Mash me far". If so... Nice move by Colon. Such a class act by the Marlins playing with everyone wearing Fernandez jerseys. I hope like hell he threw that pitch to Gordon on purpose. For all we know, Colon let Gordon know what was coming when the teams embraced pregame, and that wouldn't make me look him any differently.
September 28, 20169 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 07:23 AM) Is it really that odd for Colon to groove an 82 mph fastball at this point? He's got great control - only 32 walks this inning in almost 200 IP. Average fastball this season for his has been 88 MPH. I hope he did intentionally groove it in there. Mad respect if so but again, this is all wild speculation on my part.
October 26, 20169 yr Sounds like alcohol was a factor. http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/1789372...adly-boat-crash

October 29, 20169 yr Cocaine was big in the 80s and early 90s. It seems to be making a comeback. Non crack that is. Edited October 29, 20169 yr by Dick Allen
