Dodgers Fan On Life Support After Man Attacks Him In Stadium Parking Lot

 

Quote

 

Rafael Reyna, a 47-year-old Dodgers fan, is on life support with a fractured skull and other head injuries after he was attacked in the parking lot of Dodger Stadium sometime after Friday’s game against the Diamondbacks. Cops say Reyna was punched in the head by another man and fell to the concrete.

According to Christel Reyna, Rafael’s wife, she was on the phone with her husband as he made his way through the parking lot when a man started cursing at him over an incident with a woman. Shortly after Rafael told his wife he had no idea what that person was talking about, she heard something that sounded like the crack of a bat, which she now knows was his head hitting the ground of the parking lot.

The Dodgers released the following statement to ESPN:

“Last night, an altercation occurred suddenly between two men who were leaving the stadium,” the Dodgers said in a statement Saturday. “One of the men was injured as a result of the altercation. A witness immediately reported the incident to stadium personnel, and emergency medical technicians were promptly dispatched to provide medical assistance at the scene. The matter is now being investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department, and the Dodgers are cooperating fully with the investigation.”

Police have not made any arrests as of writing this post.

This incident comes just under nine years after Giants fan Bryan Stow was also brutally beaten outside Dodger Stadium and placed in a medically-induced coma to treat his injuries. He survived the attack but ended up suffering severe brain damage. Once that attack made national headlines, the Dodgers supposedly made a commitment to improve stadium security to try and prevent these kinds of things from happening and had to split an $18 million judgment with Louie Sanchez and Marvin Norwood, Stow’s attackers.

What temperature is it when archer is pitching?

I don't know, but he has been the only one of the 15 or so pitchers in this never-ending shitshow of a game that has been able to throw strikes consistently.

Orioles just pulled their pitcher he was pitching a no no

Saw that on MLB network. Unbelievable. God forbid you give your fans- never mind your pitcher- a shot at something memorable in what will be a disaster of a season. Nope, you passed the pitch count so robot manager says you’re done.

He threw 42 pitches on Thursday and it’s 4 games into the season. I don’t have any issue with the O’s manager pulling him

Get the no-hitter, blow out your arm.
Come back in 2021 when your team will have a much better shot at thinking about sniffing a wild card.

But no, no... let’s make sure to save the guy so he’s healthy and can make his ~25th start on September 1 when the team is already at the 100 loss mark.

Might as well redirect the manager salary to investment in some super duper computer AI R&D to manage the team.
