What happened with him was horrible but it was also very very preventable as well [highlight]if Fernandez would have taken some responsibility for his own decisions that he made that night.[/highlight]


hoping you forgot some words, punctuation, whatever.  IMO, this one belongs in the worst posts ever on a message board file. He killed two people because he was drunk and on cocaine and the Marlins owner wants to erect a statue of the guy. You don't find that somewhat troubling at all?? Have you ever had one of your good friends or family members killed at a young age because somebody got drunk and did drugs?? I have went through that I'm sorry to say and to praise a guy like Fernandez for what he did is a disgrace in my opinion. It makes me sick to my stomach to be completely honest with you.




the part of your post I take issue with is highlighted above. Since he was killed he never had a chance to take responsibility. 



certainly he did more than one stupid thing that night and it resulted in deaths.




Hey Freddy and Ec.  Please take this discussion about Jose Fernandez to the off topic forum.  It is getting away for being Pirate related and also no baseball in argument.  But please keep your discussion civil.

Osuna with a double



picking up right where he left off after friday's 4-5 game



and being benched two days in a row

That'll teach him to have a 4-hit game. I hope the other Pirates get the message. That's not the type of hitting we want. Sub .200 like Jaso. Now that's what we want.

Gift and Osuna need to be back in the lineup and they should remain there on a regular basis until or unless they prove they are unable to handle it.

I agree. At first, I didn't mind playing the match ups and the percentages. But Osuna is hitting against everyone right now.



Gift is better than Gossilen and Hanson at this point. He should be playing over them.



I would still put Bell in RF. I know he might be the 1B of the future, but he needs to do what is best for the team right now. Osuna and Jaso are better at 1B and Bell has to be better in RF than those two. Harrison has moved to 3B, why not Bell to RF?
