iamgine is one of the biggest retards/trolls on here.. dude wrote 'purposefully' when 'purposely' was much more appropriate, as a native.

[Draz]

Don't watch baseball. Seems like a genuine guy on and off the field. RIP

[Bless Mathews]

Rip.

I just heard that when he fled from Cuba in the middle of the night, someone fell over board. He didn't hesitate to save them.

And it was his mom.


Rip.

What's the NBA equivalent to this guy? KAT? Is he that good?

[jstern]

Had no idea who he was because I haven't followed baseball in years, but looked at his stats, and wow.

[dude77]

[nathanjizzle]

RIP. Life is odd.

Supposedly they were partying. Alcohol a possibility.

Reported.

[BasedTom]

God damn this shit hit me heavy. One of the few bright spots for me watching the Marlins these last years, gone just like that

RIP

How about we don't tarnish this great young man's name with horseshit speculation just hours after he tragically died.

[JohnnySic]

RIP

It's pretty hard to crash a boat that badly on such a visible object. Will be interesting to see how it happened.

Never wanna see someone cut down in the their prime. RIP.

More like Giannis Antetokounmpo or Bradley Beal level.

[irondarts]

So horrible. I was at a loss for words when I woke up to this news.

[irondarts]

No.

Fernandez was a top 5 pitcher in baseball without a doubt, top 3 maybe and only getting better. He's on a higher level then those two guys.

[Duderonomy]

No.

Fernandez was a top 5 pitcher in baseball without a doubt, top 3 maybe and only getting better. He's on a higher level then those two guys.

Maybe Lillard would be a better example.

But Jose was great, 24 , and only getting better.

The crash happened in the middle of the night from reports. No way you can see those dark rocks in the dead of night.

Plus they were speeding.

Excerpt from the Miami Herald:

[QUOTE][I]The crash occurred about 3:20 a.m., so violent that the noise alerted a Miami Beach police office on patrol who used his cellphone to call a Miami-Dade County Fire Rescue patrol boat, said Fire Rescue Capt. Leonel Reyes.

Investigators said they were not sure where Fern

[HenryGarfunkle]

Guy works his whole life practicing baseball and doing everything right, moves his whole family from Cuba to Miami, establishes himself as one of the best pitchers in the world ... - and is now dead at the age of 24.

Saddest part is that he did seem like a really really good guy. Not fair at all for his family.

[~primetime~]

Arnold Palmer just died

GOAT golfer

Who drives a boat at full speed in the middle of the night? I've been around boats most of my life, and the first rule of night boating is to slow down. Typically to idle speed unless in open water. Actually the first rule is not to boat at night unless you have to.

there you go .. this was retarded beyond retarded .. has a family on the way .. no reason to be out like that on a saturday night .. should've been home with his pregnant gf

[~primetime~]

It goes without saying that they fcked up big time...no need to prove they did

[9erempiree]

This is a tragedy and I use to fish a lot with a friend of mine that owns a boat. We are mostly on the lake and one rule of thumb is to get off the lake when it becomes dark. When its dark we don't speed.

With that said....the accident occurred very late into the night and they were avid fishermen. Fishing doesn't happen either very late into the night or approaching morning. The times when the fishes are hungry.


I don't suspect foul play but since they were avid water sportsmen it is a surprise that they were not aware of basic boating principles and jetties all across the shore.

[Doomsday Dallas]

Proof that life isn't fair.

enjoy what you have now, seize each day.

Tomorrow is not guaranteed.

also... don't forget to pray.

That is strange... probably no way of knowing how this
foolish accident happened...

Did they simply forget that they existed? That would be my guess.

Or maybe they just miscalculated how far offshore they were.

[iamgine]

Could be someone tripped and knocked the speed control and the boat just sped up and hit the rocks before they had a chance to do anything.

[Annyong!]

I don't know who he is, but this is still sad. RIP.

[dazzer87]

You guys are awful:facepalm
asking who the person is is awful? Sorry dude baseball is not something i follow........This guy....:facepalm

[Raymone]

Yeah, I'd never boat at night.
