Wow, what the hell. 27 years old....absolutely terrible.

RIP.

 

[John Price]

Damn. Absolutely terrible news.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Wait, what? I saw that the game was postponed, but damn. RIP. 27 is way too young.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Awful news. My thoughts are with his loved ones. Way too young.

Safe to say I'm going to assume what led to his death wasn't natural causes

RIP

Holy crap, this is sad and shocking.

And I can't help but flash back to Darryl Kile's death given that both occurred during the season while their teams were on a road trip.

 

[Voight]

Reminds me of when Tommy Hanson died, except he was 2 years retired.

Why are you saying this, and now?

Let's not jump to conclusions.

 

[Halladay]

Just saw this on the bottom line, I am shocked.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Terrible news

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

How many more tragic deaths does baseball have to go through??!?

RIP.

 

[Clare2904]

This is just messed up, I'm stunned

RIP Tyler and condolences to his family and the Angels organisation

That isn't true at all. Sudden deaths and the heart are intricately linked. Have to wait for the facts, it's just terrible news.

Skaggs had a great personality and was very well liked in the clubhouse. This is eerily similar to adenhart, who died almost exactly 10 years ago.

That's why I didn't approve of that post. We don't know anything yet he just jumps to the "oh it's not natural cause he's young" Let's wait to see what happened before we jump to conclusions. It could very well be the situation you're speaking of.

Also it's sad to hear about Adenhart but Adenhart was killed in a drunk driving incident. Nobody knows what happened with Skaggs here.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

it's only human nature to want to understand and speculate as to how such a terrible and incomprehensible thing could suddenly happen...of course it's highly unlikely he has any friends or family reading this thread, but regardless a certain measure of tact should be had at this time.

Only thing that comes to my mind is a brain aneurysm. Happen to someone I knew in high school.

I can tell you personally when Sean Taylor died members of the media often jumped out on a limb and suggested he was the casualty of gang violence. Turns out he was just defending his home from burglars. Theorizing is stupid IMO especially when members of the media (aware the poster isn't a member of the media probably) start throwing out accusations.

 

[Wolfpuck]

f***. Only 27. That's horrible.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

R.I.P. That's just horrible.

It's the least of anyone's worries, but I also feel bad for the guy that will get called up to fill in Skaggs' spot.

Holy crap, this is sad and shocking.

That’s exactly where I went to.

Sounds like he was recently married. Just tragic.

RIP
