Tragedy has struck the Tampa Bay Rays organization and the family of Double-A pitcher, Blake Bivens. ESPN has learned that Bivens’ wife, mother-in-law and child were among three people killed in rural Virginia. The family dog was also lost in the ordeal. Early reports have reported that authorities are charging Bivens’ brother-in-law for the crime.

Pittsylvania County Police Department announced that Matthew Thomas Bernard, 18, has been arrested on three counts of first-degree murder. When police arrived on the scene, they were exposed to a woman lying on the driveway and later discovered the body of another woman and a child inside the home. They tracked Bernard down in the woods.

Our prayers of peace are with the family

Wow, and a 1 year old child was involved. 

So sad and tragic!  Prayers with that young man and his family!

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
