The 2009 MLB draft, Tyler Skaggs, was drafted 40th overall and not 45th. 45 was his jersey number for the Angels. 71.95.58.149 (talk) 00:04, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Done You're right. Thanks for pointing out that error. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:06, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Sourcing for infobox stats
Please could someone explicitly provide the sources I have repeatedly requested, or point me to where in the body or infobox I am missing them. Merely pointing at unspecified external links is not adequate. Espresso Addict (talk) 00:57, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
 * , all of the external links in the baseballstats template will verify the content in the infobox. If nobody else beats me to it, I'll source his career stats inline after dinner. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:10, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, . It has already been posted to ITN by so it would be good to be sure all the data are correct. Espresso Addict (talk) 01:13, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
 * , I'll keep working on it. This subject could be a GA potentially, with some more expansion. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:57, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Cause of death
All we know from news reports is that "foul play" is not suspected. Is there an autopsy in progress? I get that it is early, but knowing that fact can help us find subsequent sources. IIRC, Antonin Scalia died in Texas and no autopsy was performed. Lars Frierson (talk) 06:24, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
 * As a general rule, old people don't get autopsies unless homicide's suspected. Young people tend to if it's sudden and mysterious. Fame level used to affect the speed of publicized results, but not so much in today's constant news. InedibleHulk (talk) 11:59, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

12Up is saying that Tyler Skaggs died from suicidal overdose of opioid. People said that this death was a tragic passing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DerekTheFifteenMan (talk • contribs) 18:24, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Date is wrong here: "On July 13, 2019 the Angels played their first home game since the passing of Skaggs. During the game, the team wore Skaggs' jersey. His mother, Debbie Skaggs, threw out the first pitch, which was a perfect strike. The team threw no-hitter against the Seattle Mariners, winning 13-0."

Should be "July 12, 2019". The game took place on Friday July 12, 2019, local (Los Angeles) time. Fdevault (talk) 06:39, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

Please change the date of the no-hitter to July 12, 2019. The game began on July 12th across the US, and ended on July 12th in Anaheim (pacific time) 2600:8800:4880:865:281F:C64:7336:8A55 (talk) 07:20, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

COMBINED no-hitter. Not "just" a no-hitter. Historic. Reference https://www.nonohitters.com/combined-no-hitters/ I apologize, I have never edited Wiki in this format. Thank you ;-)
 * ❌ Pitchers can’t combine to throw anything other than a combined no-hitter, so the second mention of "combined" isn’t necessary. Larry Hockett (Talk) 16:19, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

"Aspirated on" is incorrect
In the sentence "the examination concluded that Skaggs had died of asphyxia after aspirating on his own vomit," the use of "on" is incorrect. Merriam-Webster Dictionary gives this example:  "She began coughing when she aspirated some orange juice." There seems to be confusion between the verbs "to choke" and "to aspirate." "Aspirate" in this context means "to suck into the lungs." Aspiration may cause choking, but they aren't equivalent. Citizen127 (talk) 07:59, 16 August 2022 (UTC)


 * From sentence.yourdictionary.com: "Some children aspirate the stomach contents, which can cause pneumonia or even sudden death." Citizen127 (talk) 09:14, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * The only internet search results that contain "aspirating on" are from a very few people using informal language. Citizen127 (talk) 09:20, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * wp:BE BOLD and change it. The worst thing that would happen is your edit would be undone. Do leave an wp:ES giving your reasoning would be helpfu. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 09:37, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * @Adakiko I did, Wozal reverted it with no explanation. It was a simple grammatical correction.  I have no idea why anyone would revert it.  I'm confused and dismayed. Citizen127 (talk) 09:57, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
