Shame. Have to think intoxicants of some sort were a factor.

I can't think of any other reason people would be out on a boat at that hour. Horrible news. One of the best pitchers in the game and so young.

They can do that?

Not saying I don't agree with the decision.

Commercial fishing, shrimp boats and such.

But one would hardly think that applies in this case.

Let's wait until all facts are in before we pass judgement.

How was I passing judgement?

So sad. So ridiculously sad.

We live on the water and have a boat. Unless the kids are with us I am out on the water at nights fishing 75% of the time I go out. Usually go out around 10 and come back in around day break.

Holy crap. I watched the video posted in the thread. Looks like those rocks came out of nowhere.

Miami Marlins 24-year-old pitcher Jose Fernandez was killed in a boating accident last night. Police were called about the accident at 3:00 am. The Marlins-Braves game for today has been cancelled. Thoughts and prayers to his family and the Marlins organization.
