This is thread worthy.

That really sucks.

 

Not that it's good timing to mention, but the Angels could really, REALLY use someone like Stroman now, especially only being 4.5 back in the wildcard.

[Dr. Dinger]

He didn’t pass away, he f***ing died. Brutal.

This is the end of their season. They just lost 3 in a row to the A’s (a wildcard rival) and their best starter has died tragically. There’s no coming back from that.

Any word on the cause?

BBDL rotation suck more and more

[jaysblue]

Just devastating. Only 27-years-old! Thoughts and prayers with his family and close friends and the Angels Organization.

 

Really puts things into perspective. Enjoy everyday as its your last. Enjoy everyday with your family and friends. Cherish those moments.

Police not suspecting foul play. Hope it's not ped related

If we’re taking just complete random odds, you’d have to go suicide #1. Something like undetected irregular heartbeat (maybe triggered by something) #2, Behind that you have some kind of PED and/or coke combo, heroin/fentanyl (not really a baseball player mo though), natural death...

[Inklink]

WTF man

 

RIP

[Krylian]

Yikes. RIP.

 

Likely drugs.

PED's have never killed anyone.

PED's have never killed anyone.

 

Sure they can if there’s underlying issues.

[Ex Player]

Yikes. RIP.

 

Likely drugs

Why drugs?? Could be some type of congenital heart defect or maybe a stroke

[TheHurl]

This puts the Angels in tied for 2nd in active player deaths at 5, trailing only the Reds at 6.

It's already been declared suicide not suspected... as some other suggested prob PED + congenital defect, or just the defect by itself.

It absolutely could be. You're right. But it just seems like whenever we hear this type of description, 9 times out of 10 is something to do with drugs. Not that it really matters... He's not coming back.

Is there a "dead pool" somewhere? You seemed to get that info pretty easily.

[connorp]

I had a friend die at like 22-23 in Vegas (I wasn’t there). He just started being a professional boxer. Was using roids and also did some coke out there, he had some kind of undetected condition and that was it. Unresponsive in the hotel room

[Spanky99]

Oh my God, RIP. Condolences to his family, tragic.

I heard some players are still using ephedra. I hope its not that.

Its what killed Steve Bechler

Clenbuterol will always be a popular athlete drug. That can take a big toll on the heart. On a smaller scale, ephedra does too
