This is unbelievable news to wake up to – that Jose Fernandez has died at age 24 – in a boating accident.
There just aren’t many pitchers I really enjoy anymore. There aren’t that many I would consider good. I knew the first time Fernandez pitched that we had a bad ass on the mound and one that was going to be good for a very long time.
Things like this should never happen, but they do. When they do there just really aren’t words. This is so incredibly saddening.
I had a horrible dream back in Spring Training that a player had died, and I won’t name the player. I’m not sure why I had the dream. It was horrifying enough I woke myself up in a panic. This is like living that nightmare. Again, I can count on two hands the pitchers I really enjoy in baseball. Fernandez was on that short list.
His final start five days ago was a work of art. A 1-0 victory in which he had 12 strikeouts and no walks.
