Jose Fernandez dies in boating accident

Featured Replies

To make things worse, I remember he posted on instagram just last week about his fiancé being pregnant. 

 

Unreal. 

 

 

He was supposed to start today, but was scratched to get an extra day's rest, which means he probably wouldn't have been out that late had it not been for that.

 

I really hope whoever made that choice understands that he isn't to blame. I just know how I'd feel if I were this person, so I feel horribly for them as well

 

So true. This is so crazy.

This feels like it's gonna be blown up by the media. I hope they're smart and sensitive with this one.

Never met anyone in my 20 years covering sports who loved to compete or cheer on his teammates more than Jose Fernandez

Jose Fernandez turned 24 on July 31. Defected from Cuba in 2008. A shining light for the sport.

Jose Fernandez is one of the most genuine guys I've ever played with. He loved life, he loved baseball.....he will be missed dearly.

There should be a big #16 on the Marlins mound for the rest of time. That is his mound.

 

 

God rest his soul. I am just stunned right now. I, like so many others on here, feel physically sick. What a tragic loss for so many!  :(

 

 

I can only think 3 AM didn't see the jetty and last minute turned the boat, at a high speed it'll definitely cause the boat to overturn.

I was at the game on Friday on the 3B side & Jose was having fun throwing balls to all the fans. Wtf, life is crazy.

 

 

Wow. I knew something's up when I get a 630am call (my time) from my mom. Just heartbreaking thinking of the fastballs, the smiles, the aliveness he brought to a world all too often lacking those (especially the latter 2).

 

RIP, young man.
