SURPRISE, Ariz. -- The last time Matt Bush wore a major league uniform was March 2012. He was on the brink of making the big leagues after striking out 77 batters in 50u2153 innings in Double-A and had pitched 4u2154 scoreless innings that spring for the Tampa Bay Rays.
On March 22, 2012, he asked to borrow teammate Brandon Guyer's truck. A night of drinking then driving would end with Bush nearly killing a bicyclist after he clipped the cyclist, drove over his head and fled the scene. He was so drunk he couldn’t even find his way home.
