He didn't really play a huge role in the Royals winning a World Series. He did play a huge role in getting the 2014 World Series to a game 7 though.

Beat David Price in the ALCS clincher

Just another red Sox "fan" posing as someone who follows baseball.

Take your shit to the red Sox forum. You don't belong out here with real baseball fans.
Okay pal, just pointing out that he didn't have a huge role in their WS win. Had a good ALCS game. Not a huge role. Don't try to re-write history.

He certainly had a poor reputation on the mound, but this is tragic news. Kid will be missed.

He played a huge role. Without his performances, they aren't in the Series.

You might have some credibility if you were a fan of baseball.

why does he have to have had a huge role? because he died?

very few starting pitchers have huge roles in teams winning a world series. Madison Bumgarner is the most recent.

Not necessarily true on the first part.

I hope you feel good about yourself after each post.

then you should remove the Red Sox logo

You dont get to piggyback off their rings

I've been watching the Red Sox since Carl Yastrzemski won the Triple Crown, I get to do whatever I want.

Doesn't make you a fan.

You admitted as much yourself.

Could've been Pedro 2.0 if he had his head screwed on straight. An ironic way to die given his tributes to OT in Game 6 of the 2014 WS and JF this last regular season.
May've been Dan Plesac, but I forget whom exactly on MLB Network, compared Ventura and Martinez on a couple fronts, stuff and how they were both overly passionate on the mound. Both threw at batters and acted out. Martinez eventually matured and has become pretty universally likable. We'll never know with Ventura.

Just assume he would have figured it out. Ventura was liked by his teammates, which is really all that matters.

He was easily provoked, which is why Eaton and Machado challenged him.

I would think so. Twenty-five is way too young to go.

I hope people take a breath instead of just going all pity on this one too.

Omar Tavarez was honored for a year, for a team he was supposed to play for, he killed his girlfriend and unborn child in his wreck.

Fernandez, went on a cocaine and liquor fuel raged suicide ride and killed two of his friends at the same time. They put that murderers casket on the pitching mound.

I am going to hold out on either side of this until we learn the facts this time, hope others do as well. We all know these players are the richest people in their country, other than the drug lords, and excess usually plays a role.
