OT: RIP Tyler Skaggs
LA Angels pitcher.
I watched him pitch the other night on ESPN against the Cardinals. Unbelievable to hear. Sounds like a total body fluke as the cause of death.
Total body fluke?
Aneurism, massive heart attack or stroke at age 27. Something totally out of the ordinary.
It's a technical term they teach in med school.
I teach at a med school and haven't ever heard the term. The first (and only) google result I get for the term is this thread.
I’m not sure if he was being serious, but I’m also not claiming it be a professional medical term either.
You must not teach at a very good med school.
Northern Michigan University, where the “n” stands for knowledge.
That would be one big worm but I know that's not what you meant.

RIP.
Crazy / sad to hear this - he was on my fantasy team earlier this year and looked like he was headed to be a top of the rotation type pitcher.
He was way too young for this. RIP Tyler
Just goes to show you how precious life is. Enjoy it
Shocking example of why we should never take life for granted. Much of the team was shown in a photo taken just before their flight to Dallas, all wearing smiles and cowboy Stetsons. Way too young to pass away like that. RIP, Tyler.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
Are you fucking serious dude?! Seriously not the time nor the thread to try and be funny douche.
Your mother should have swallowed you.
Says the guy trying to be funny in an RIP thread. An entire families lives are in ruins you tool and yet you have jokes. You’re so cool, do you man.
His wife has the earnings from a 10 year baseball career and whatever the MLB life insurance policy is. I think she’ll survive.
