3am and the boat crashed into the jetties.

Saw a local news report that shows the boat vertical almost. They must have nailed it.

This is sooo crazy! Kid was 24 yrs old and had all the makings of being a cy young contender for years to come. It's always hard to lose a young man that was still growing and from all accounts seemed like a likeable guy. Puts a lot of things in perspective and we should all enjoy every day we get. Terrible terrible news. Prayers for the young man and his family

Nothing good happens after midnight, especially on a boat.

My cousin was in a boating accident at 1am about a month ago. Of the 3 guys on the boat, one is dead, one has a brain injury ( cousin) from his heart stopping several times, and the boat driver was thrown in jail for being intoxicated. My cousin is a dentist with one kid in college and one in HS, and now his ability to work again is a big question mark. His brother is keeping the practice going, but we'll see.

Be smart out there, folks. Life can be ruined in a moment.

Used to watch the Marlin's games on FOX Sports Florida (before my cable company cut the channel off), Fernandez's mother and family used to attend every home game that he pitched and they would always put the camera on them (her) several times during the game. She was obviously very proud of her son (not to mention the absolute Hell they went through escaping from Cuba to the US). Bet she is devastated beyond belief.

From the PC:
At 3:15am, CoastGuard on patrol noticed a vessel upside down on north side jetty. Found 3 males dead on scene. 32 foot SeaVee upside down. 2 under the vessel, 1 in water.

No indication of alcohol or drugs(waiting on ME)
Speed was a factor
None were wearing life vests
Not Jose's boat (have stopped the boat before & is familiar with the area)

___________

Rest in peace Jose Fernandez.

Something about boat accidents like that... Seems far more terrifying than any car accident.

Thumbs down to the ESPN.com top story being live updates from Vikings/Panthers instead of this.

They've given Hernandez a ton of attention. Don't act like they aren't giving him enough respect and coverage.

I haven't paid attention to stuff at all today and saw this for the first time when i posted. I looked at ESPN, SI, Bleacher Report, and even the non-sports news media. every single one still had this story #1 except ESPN who had moved on to random NFL. I just thought that was ****ed up. Sorry i got butthurt about that.

very, very sad news.

I wonder if the Marlins' cancelling the rest of their remaining games is under consideration. However I noticed that their final 2 series are against teams in the pennant / wildcard race

Wow, it was hard for me to fight the tears after seeing the coverage today. Jose Fernandez was an excellent pitcher, with an immense potential. He didn't reach his prime but was dominant at such a young age. Stats aside, this guy came from humble roots. He escaped Cuba three times. He was living the American dream, but most of all, living his dream to be a professional baseball player. Energetic, hard working, family first guy, and passionate about the game that we love watching.

It's a huge loss for the Cuban community in Miami, baseball fans across the country and the world and just sports fans in general. Taken too soon wow.

And for good reason. Boating accidents almost never end well. People can roll their cars 10 times and walk away.

As a boat owner I have for sure been a bit risky here and there, but always with correct safety precautions ready. If you hit structure, everyone in your boat will go flying.

I've gone out at night, and it's damn scary to trust your instruments and lights, even in areas you've driven a million times. The only time I go out at night these days is to just troll channels or coves at basically zero speed and hang out on the water.

Given the images of that boat, they hit the jetties hard. I'm sure all 3 immediately were ejected and landed on the rocks.

Just so incredibly sad.

Pending the results of the toxicology report they believe that alcohol/drugs were not involved in the accident. It was driving too fast at night.

Marlins will retire the #16 after tonight's game, where all the players will be wearing #16. Awesome, classy move.
