Tampa Bay Rays minor leaguer Blake Bivens went on Facebook and was struck with unspeakable tragedy. As the 24-year-old Double-A pitcher awaited a flight last August from Tennessee to his home in Virginia, Bivens signed onto social media and learned his wife, 14-month-old son and mother-in-law had been murdered. Bivens spoke Sunday of the horrific day at the The River Church in Danville, Va., which was shared via Facebook. First headline I see is two females and a small child were gone, Bivens said. I immediately knew that was them. I found out my family was gone over a Facebook headline. I just immediately began to scream in the middle of the airport. Bivens brother-in-law, Matthew Thomas Bernard, was charged with three counts of first-degree homicide. Bernard will undergo a competency review to determine whether he is mentally fit to stand trial. A warrant enabled authorities to search the alleged 18-year-old killers cell phone, finding evidence Bernard had visions and heard from God.

I think the hardest moment for me was when I got home and I walked in my sons bedroom for the first time and realized I was never going to see him on this Earth again, he said. That was the worst moment in my life. Nothing ever will come to being, to feeling the way I felt at that moment. Then again, I know I will see him again one day, and it wont be long.

Sounds like he is planning to commit suicide.

Who the fuck kills a 14 month old? Like they can't fucking identify who you are, they're not going to get in your way. Like you're just one sick fuck and killed the kid just to kill it.

This happened last August and TC didn't post the rest of the article... Bivens is still pitching and communicating with teammates and is in better head space.
