My bunkmate is a blowup doll named Matilda.
So yes.

One of the coolest memories I had was when my high school played against him in the first round of CIF in 2008. I was nearly picked off twice by him at first base because I hadn’t seen a dude that tall on the mound with that type of pickoff. He probably had the filthiest curveball ever in HS too. When he was drafted my buddies and I were pretty excited for him knowing “Yo we just faced this guy...that’s crazy” and we still talk about it to this day. Dude was an absolute stud and one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. Keep flying, Ty!  

This one hurt me. A few of those pics of him posted in this thread were really hard to look at. It’s just hard to process. 
Credit to a lot of people here on AW. More than a few people on here can be quite articulate and helpful during times like these. 
My thoughts are absolutely with his family and friends right now. I can’t even imagine. RIP Tyler 

Been thinking about this a lot today.  Man, I’m gonna miss that looping curve ball.  I really did enjoy watching him pitch.  When he was right and dialing it up in the mid 90’s. Just cool as hell.  It’s weird how attached you can get to these guys.  I guess with all the ups and downs they sort of just become a part of your life in a way.  It’s really easy to find yourself invested in their success.  To care.  He seemed like a great dude.  I have no doubt that he was.  I guess I’m just really glad he was with the Angels for as long as he was.  I’m sorry that this is the way it had to wrap up.  I hope his family can find peace in time.  
I’ll try to just hang onto that curve ball.  

One of the many tributes popping up, I thought this one was really heartfelt

Tyler, this community, baseball, and your family will miss you terribly. Our Angels aren’t supposed to get their wings this young, and our prayers are with your new wife and your family. 
 
Say hi to Nick for us. 

I was at the game last night. Got up to get a beer and a pretzel and a foul ball nailed my wife in the wrist.
Good timing.

Arte has his personal chef surprise us each game.

I like the rats, personally.

They said that she could eat the inside of a coconut. 

The Reds broadcasters aren't great, but at least I haven't muted them in favor of listening to my PM Dawn greatest hits cd

What does Cardinal Oracle do?

1/2 an Appletini is no excuse

you posted there?  
I don't even know who you are anymore.  

Like clockwork 
Am I too early?

I already forgot what he did and I'm focusing on his next failure.
