Didn't know it was as that bad of a crash. When you die though, doesn't really matter.

Such a great talent gone too soon. Prayers for all families as I understood there are three deceased. He was suppose to pitch today, but they pushed his start back until Monday. He would never had been out there, I wouldn't imagine, if he was starting today.
My my question is is it common to be out on the water at 3 in the morning? Not familiar with boating so I don't know.

Hmm.. In a 30 foot boat? Without lights? In an area where there are rock outcroppings? Not me.
It makes me wonder just what he was doing there, and at that time.
I didn't realize it didn't have lights. I also heard speed was a factor. Sounds like something that could have easily been avoided.
No, boats don't have headlights (unless custom-installed). Neither do they have brakes, and as such can't stop as fast as a motor vehicle on the streets.
Anyone who doesn't understand the interactions of boats and the water they're traveling through has no business at the wheel of one, day or night.
How very tragic. Jose seemed like a really good guy. He was very passionate about baseball and the few times I saw him pitch against the braves he was a joy to watch. The guy smiled a lot and was a serious competitor. I would not have known he was Cuban if the announcers hadn't said so.
Huge loss for baseball and the Cuban community. Prayers for all who loved him. RIP, Jose.

Not to mention rocks at night are nearly impossible to see until you're right on top of them. Even if they had some forward illumination, it probably wouldn't have changed this outcome.
