Yep, and weakass hits that get through. 

[squally1313]

I don’t know enough about the dimensions of the stadium walls but from the commentary and the looks on everyone’s faces it seems pretty bad 

[chibears55]

One thing to have a 3Bmen not hitting,  but you 100% need to have a guy who can field the position, Hoyer needs to make a decision soon with Shaw or get someone who can at least field there. 

[CubinNY]

I don’t think JD has said a word since it happened

If he fell over RF, it 23 feet high in honor of Clemente

Right center I believe. So maybe half that?

[chibears55]

Found a video of fan falling 

Looks like he jumped

OMG. 😞

[Jason Ross]

Thats really awful. Hopefully they're okay. 

[chibears55]

Here putting on stretcher, someone said he broke his neck.

In honor of Clemente they made the wall 2 feet higher than his number? Thats strange.

That is terrible. Don’t understand how that can happen. Typically something like that happens reaching for a ball. Hope he is ok. But damn, how does that happen?

Right field fence is 21 feet high in honor of Roberto Clemente. 

[Rcal10]

If the Cubs don’t come back this will be the dumbest loss of the year. First run scored in a bloop to right and then 2 runs because of an error and then a ball deflected into the outfield. Just stupid bad luck on the McCuthen ball.

You're right, its secretly in honor of Mitch Keller

One of those games over 162.  They just need to figure out how to avoid the May swoon for the 3rd year in a row after a hot start in April.

I watched it again and the fan literally stands up quickly and dives over the railing. Calling it a suicide attempt is something I don’t want to say, but that’s just what it looks like.

It felt like to me he was jumping up while grabbing the railing and his momentum took him up and over being unable to keep a hold of kr. But it's hard to tell and just one guess

Yea, it looks like he just catapult from his seat

[squally1313]

Well that was all very dumb and depressing and bad. Hope he’s ok and everyone else is mentally alright. Go beat Skenes tomorrow.
