Thumbs down RIP Yordano Ventura
Wow. Just wow.

Cristian Moreno|ESPNVerified account ‏@CristianMorenoD
#Royals pitcher @YordanoVentura Dead at 25 after fatal car accident earlier today, confirmed by #Dominican police force. Terrible news. #MLB

Sure hope alcohol and/or drugs weren't involved.

What?! Are you sure that's not a mixup with the Andy Marte story?

Ugh.

Yordano Ventura pitched the best game of his career while paying tribute to Oscar Taveras, who died in a car accident. Now this. Brutal.

It had nothing to do with DR

I've been to the D.R. 3 times in the last 4 years on golf trips. It's very safe place to visit. I didn't witness a "war zone" or citizens acting crazy.

Terrible news about Ventura

The roads down there are horrible. Even the paved roads are brutal to drive on because they aren't maintained. That being said it's horrible when anyone dies this young. RIP

Not true. That is one of the most dangerous places in the world to drive. I believe the most dangerous on the entire western hemisphere, or very close to it.

I agree it's not a war zone or anywhere close to that, I was there a couple years ago and it's fine but people do drive pretty crazy down there, there's no control at stop signs and intersections in cities that I was in. Cars and motorbikes pushing their way through everything.

Depends where you go down there, had a former co worker get married down there. Some parts of the Island are beautiful, but lot of areas are terrible...

His point was it was dangerous to drive there cause of all the people driving drunk. I just responded there are drunk drivers everywhere.

I don't care. It's sad either way.

Always on a Sunday. Taveras, Fernandez, Ventura ... Saturday Night's have not been kind to these kids.
