MLB: Marlins All-Star Pitcher Fernandez passes away
- Thread starter Cy$
- Start date
Every single accident, for the most part, isnt outside of someone personal control. However, its still an accident. Probably should not been driving a boat that fast at night when were obviously not to familiar with where the jetties were, but again, its still an accident.
That's fine, because I don't think anyone cares about your sympathy level, either.
This is just a tragedy. The guy was such a great, great talent. And he loved to play baseball.
Just say tonight that every Sunday he would bring kids from Miami in before games out on the field and take them around the Stadium. His story should not have ended this way.

Espn just said he was supposed to start today but they pushed him back in order for him to face the Mets.
Gotta think that he likely isn't out in the middle of the night before a start. Insane stuff.
Was hoping my Cubs would take a run at him in FA. Top tier talent.

I'm not saying this as a Cub fan, but I have a hard time comparing this death to Oscar Taveras just because Taveras made the decision to drink and drive, which ultimately not only killed himself but his girlfriend as well.
Fernandez was not driving the boat, drugs nor alcohol are believed to be a reason for the death. The guy driving the boat was known for taking Marlins players out to sea often in the area.
Fernandez wasn't scheduled to pitch until tonight, so it's not exactly surprising he was up late, as I'm sure most athletes who have days off tend to have late nights.
That being said, I don't believe there has been an announcement as to when the crash even occurred. The boat was found at 3 AM. The crash could've happened much earlier in the night.

I'm not even a baseball fan and don't know much about Fernandez outside a few gifs, but if you're not bawling your ******* eyes out after reading this and watching the videos you're not human.

Alcohol seemed to be a factor.

Cool to see Chapman still wearing the cap with Fernandez' initials and number written on it even in the World Series.

Shocker. My disdain isn't meant as anything against this kid, my disdain is for alcohol and the terrible effect it has on society. And it's not just when it is abused, it is when it is just overused at any one time. Very scary drug with an even scarier indoctrination in to society and the legal system.

Toxicology report says his BAC was twice the legal limit and had cocaine in his system.
