27 YEARS OLD????? Horrendous. Feel horrible for his friends and family, especially his parents. 27???
Congenital heart conditions often go undetected and undiagnosed right up until the moment they kill you, and it can happen at any age. Not that there's anything to indicate that's the case with Skaggs (yet), but it wouldn't shock me if that is what happened here. At least, I'm hoping this is more a Darryl Kile situation than a Tommy Hanson situation.
A tragedy no matter what the reason, though.
Wow. After Adenhart, their franchise deserves a break.
Let’s hope there’s no fucking drawings of this one mocking him.

One of my best friend's brothers died at age 20 from that. He was a collegiate rower and had never known he had a heart problem until he suddenly passed away during a workout. It's very scary.
Not exactly first. When Adenhart died, they cited the "Angels curse"
Pitcher Nick Adenhart, 22, car accident, 2009
Outfielder Lyman Bostock, 27, shot to death, 1978
Shortstop Mike Miley, 23, car accident, 1977
Infielder Chico Ruiz, 33, car accident, 1972
Pitcher Tyler Skaggs, 27, unknown, 2019
Pitcher Dick Wantz, 25, brain tumor, 1965
This is devastating. MLBN reported police said it wasn’t suicide, and that statement says no foul play.
The Angels have lost two great young stars. Ugh.

Giancarlo Stanton, who was very tight with the late Jose Fernandez, with IMO a very moving Instagram post:
"RIP Bro, My heart goes out to your family My message to the @angels while having no time for yourself to grieve is to hug each other, laugh, cry, lift the ones taking it extra hard up.
You’re going to wonder why all of this is happening , is it real, why are u suiting up to play a game that seems irrelevant.
Some Anger will ensue while u have to grieve in a fish bowl.. A lot will go through your mind. So stay together through that.
The first days back to schedule are the weirdest feeling, from the energy to the questions to having to walk by his locker.
Try to Focus & understand how important your strength is for his family, all of your supporters & anyone looking for the power to overcome something. They’re looking @ you for guidance. So you all really need each other right now.
Stay strong fellas I’m thinking about you!"

And Luis Valbuena, who's last team was the Angels before he was released in August and shot to death a few months later.
Car accident, wasn't it?
Attempted highway robbery and driver hit a rock and Valbuena died
If this is true, pretty crazy. The 7 and 13 runs thing is a bit of a stretch — the no-hitter itself is obviously pretty crazy — the “last day a combined no-hitter thrown in California was 7/13/1991 — the day Tyler Skaggs was born” is pretty nuts.
