RavensfanRD Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Really a tough one to swallow. Doc Halladay was a menace to my Orioles for years. Damn shame to lose someone so young. May he rest in paradise. Condolences to his family, friends and fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 RIP Doc. He was one of the few pitchers you'd make sure to catch when he was on TV. I got to see him live once, and he lived up to every expectation of what you'd expect from an ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 An absolute tragedy. It shook me up pretty bad yesterday when I found out and still not good today. I used to like watching Toronto games when he was pitching just to see him pitch, it was pure magic. 40 is only a few yrs. older than me. Apparently he was as good a person as he was a pitcher too. RIP Doc, it was a pleasure to have watched you pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Felger said was that when you buy a toy plane and divebomb from 100' in the air just for the hell of it, that you're way too cavalier about life and that your death is not a tragedy. He said he felt horribly for Halladay's wife and kids, but had no sympathy for Halladay himself. It's a completely fair take. Before you pass judgment, watch the video of Halladay showboating in a machine he clearly didn't know how to operate. And read beyond Deadspin. Everyone should know better than that.

You're ten times as likely to have someone like that on the radio tbh in today's culture it's encouraged to "trigger" people because it's cool to be politically incorrect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sympathy for Halladay? No. The way he was operating that aircraft, he was begging for a catastrophe. His wife was apparently begging him to not buy the plane, which arrived Monday. Then he goes out and risks his life (and loses) by flying the plane like a complete moron just for a thrill. Watch the video and tell me this is a tragedy. A tragedy is what happened to Nick Adenhart. Not this. He didn't deserve to die, but when you beg to die with this behavior, it's not in the tragedy category. I just can't mourn this the same way I would have if he died of something unpreventable. Halladay was an incredible pitcher. I loved watching him work, even when he was carving up my team. I was floored when I first saw the news, because of that and because I knew he was held in very high regard among the players. After seeing how his death was completely preventable, I just can't call this a tragedy. But Felger's the bad guy for calling Halladay out for his stupid behavior.

I was listening too. I generally enjoy Felger and Maz, but today crossed a line you DO NOT cross. He won't get fired because it's a top-10 show in the country and basically keeps the station afloat, but he deserves a suspension, there's no defense for it.
