“When I think about Jose, I see such a little boy,” Mattingly told reporters. “The way he played, there was just joy with him.”

“We’re not robots,” Marlins infielder Martin Prado told reporters. “We’re humans. He made an impact on everyone. I understand we have to play games. But there’s a lot of pain.”
