Oh my god......

What a terrible, terrible, tragic story.

RIP

Absolutely speechless. RIP Jose

I literally woke up to this and couldn't believe it. One of the best pitchers in baseball is gone. From what I'm hearing, it sounds like he was an even better person. Just an absolutely horrible loss and day for baseball.

RIP Jose

Absolutely tragic news. Thoughts and prayers to his family.

 

[Cody Webster]

****ing awful. So sad. RIP

 

[Timeless Winter]

Shocking. This news took my breath away. Can't believe he's gone. Incredibly sad.

RIP to the three deceased. Reminds of the Cleveland Indians tragedy when I was a teenager.

 

[NJDevs26]

Ditto. It was the first tweet that popped up when I opened my phone.

Unbelievable. I don't even know what to say other than RIP.

I hate thinking this, does he even go on that boat if he's pitching today, as originally planned?

I suspect we'll never know that.

But of course the media will be digging looking for reasons why this happened, was there alcohol/drugs involved, was he boating in an unlit area because that's what the media does. And to a degree it's just people wanting to make sense out of something that makes no sense.

Wow I'm speechless. Loved watching him pitch. I loved how much fun he had on the field.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Sad end to a promising young life

 

[PanthersPens62]

I am completely devastated right now.

RIP Jose

 

[TNT87]

I'm completely stunned.

There will be an investigation because that's what happens after fatal crashes and the media will report on it because a person of public interest was involved.

The truth is that boating safety is an issue that could probably use some publicity.

I had Jose every year in fantasy since he first game.... what a tremendous player. Especially this year.

 

[robert terwilliger]

yeah there's a sense of "it can't happen to me" w/r/t boating safety so it is important to find out what happened and whether it could have been prevented. this just happened to a very famous, very likable star. people will be more likely to pay attention.

Horrible news. He'll win the Cy Young, but this isn't the way it was supposed to happen

 

[NJDevs26]

I never heard the story of him saving his mother's life in the ocean at age 15 till today either...I feel bad for her and the rest of his family having to go through this.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Shocked to read this on my phone after I woke up.

Glad the Mets don't have to face him tomorrow now, but I certainly didn't want it to be under these circumstances.

R.I.P.
