Admin Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Christian Moreno of ESPN Deportes 1050 AM reports that Yordano Ventura has been killed in a car accident in the Dominican Republic. Awful. There have been other reports out of the Dominican Republic on the tragic news, and Moreno says it has been confirmed by the Dominican police. Fellow countryman Andy Marte was killed in a separate accident, according to Moreno, who also reports that both Ventura and Marte were "said to be under the influence." Ventura was just 25 years of age. RotoWorld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Drugs of abuse and actually giving a fuck about it. Especially alcohol. What can MLB and MLBPA do about alcohol? Maybe I'm wrong in how I interpreted your words but you make it sound like this is only an mlb problem when alcohol is a problem all over the world. This isn't an isolated sports thing like PEDs. The whole planet has an alcohol problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Das Texan Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Das thinks people should be micromanaged by gov and corporations. He doesn't believe in personal responsibility.

E CaT PanTHer Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 fining/suspending players who get dui's would be a start much like more intense orientation to newer players on the dangers bro, he's in his home country and it's the offseason ... how is the MLB/MLBPA going to take preventive measures to avoid someone simply enjoying drinks with some family and friends? Shit happens. Players aren't invincible, they're humans at the end of the day, and make mistakes just like you and I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit happens. Players aren't invincible, they're humans at the end of the day, and make mistakes just like you and I. You cant prevent everything. Never said that. But MLB and the MLBPA has taken a blind eye approach to this subject for a long time. I think it was 2 springs ago when players were getting DUI's like they were candy and not a damn thing was done. There are plenty of things that CAN be done. NONE of them are being done. Instead lets take the oh, shit happens approach when if you take educational and preventive measures and save ONE life, is it worth it?

Das Texan Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Das wants the MLB to assign them shaplerones or something. Pretty racist if you ask me. I guess he doesn't think Dominicans are smart enough to make their own decisions. SHUT THE FUCK UP. I am tired of your fucking bullshit. This isnt a problem of nationality you fucking dope.

Das Texan Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I dnno about that. You were making some pretty racist comments the other day. It might be deep seeded white privilege you're experiencing. So deep you can't even recognize it. What fucking racist comments was I making.

Das Texan Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Derogatory name directed at Caucasians. You mean use of the term redneck? Mind you after suggesting I dress myself in flag attire which is most often associated with that culture. You are a fucking joke with a riduclious ego that needs to be checked.

SilverBullet Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Not that this isn't sad on its own but I'm probably not alone here saying that this actually hurts more to me personally because it's reminding me of Sept 25th. Too many memories of that day rushing back now. Just got choked up thinking of so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Das Texan Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Damn. What's the matter with you? I thought love was supposed to Trump hate? That's some liberal talking point that the right has decided to grab onto. Not sure why you want to bring politics into this particular forum.

SilverBullet Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Was Ventura the guy that kept getting his team into fights it seemed like every other week? Yep. Pretty sure that's gonna somewhat taint his memory with the public but his teammates have said they loved him and that those were moments of anger and immaturity.
