Great Thread.

Only info I have gathered is its not related to last nights early exit. Personal issues. You guess is as good as mine right now. Probably find out in the next couple of days.

His hometown (where his parents still live) got ruined by a tornado/big storm. Happened last year too. I heard 1 reported dead and a handful injured too.

Their home is probably destroyed, so I'm sure he's back there doing what he can to help his family, friends, and neighbors. Hopefully it isn't too bad :/

Edit- its Choctaw County, Mississippi, if you want to look for more info. Matt Gelb (Phillies writer) put it on Twitter

Wow.

rsnn, thanks for the link.

Very interesting.

yea thanks for the link rsnn... definately sad for him and his family.. from a baseball perspective, prob shouldnt miss more then one start (12 days from now would be second start).. could possibly be a good thing, as it appears that injury may still be bothering him some.

life is precious so many people take it for granted....I'm one of them.
