Oh wow. That is terrible. He was slated to start today against the Braves opposite of Teheran. Was looking forward to watching the two go at it. Truly Shocked!
Just saw the game between the Marlins and Braves has been rightfully cancelled.

That's a too often proven fact of life. Young folks just don't get it. They believe their youth,their overall good health, their personal strength, their lawyers and Lady Luck will hold them harmless. Sadly, not so much!HighPointApp wrote:Just read this.
