RIP Pablo Martinez

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3502769

Pedro's father lost his battle with brain cancer at 79. Pedro was informed during the game.

As one of the brightest personalities on the team and in all of baseball, I can't imagine what Pedro's going through right now.

I can.


Here's hoping he takes all the time he needs.

I dont wanna start a 3rd Dead Pedro's Dad thread, but I assume this means his weekend start is a no-go.

This sets up AAAer Brian Stokes if they choose to go that route, with Ruddy Lugo or Brandon Knight possibilities with extra rest. Vargas and Figueroa would be coming back on too short rest.

I really wish this forum offered a "merge threads" feature.

I wasn't sure before if this was true but this thread confirms it.

Condolences to the Martinez family.

Three threads, folks. We're getting sloppy.

You know, I'm thinking I could probably slap together a merge feature.

Maybe I'll do that some day.

that would be awesome.

I'd take such editorial license, I'd make Joe McDonald look passive.

My bad. I looked, honestly, but did not see another thread on the subject.

No biggie, Fman. Apparently I did it too on this same subject.

I must of been blinded by the Schmidt vs. Bowa spoogefest that is now taking up multiple threads at nearly 100 posts combined.

You can only barely see it in this picture:



but David Ortiz had "45" and "RIP" written on his helmet tonight in tribute.
