Things like this happen quick. Umpires use as much evidence as they can gather. The chances of the ball hitting a railing slat and boncing back at that angle is much less than a ball hitting the wall. Easy to see in slo-mo though.

Some of these new stadiums were designed to give the spectators the best view, only to have to add railings later to keep them from falling. Texas Rangers Ballpark raised some railing heights because fans fell (one died). Stadium designers might not have underestimated fan stupidty if they consulted with umpires.

IR is going to be expanded next year and should include this kind of sitch.

The OP stated a conclusion, not a comment so I simply asked for the proof so we could weigh in. Sorry if that irks you and if it does, tough $hit! You can blow it out your backside for all I care.

I agree with you Oz, that the OP stated a conclusion, but I think he also added comments ["simply inexcusable and beyond unacceptable"]; comments that make me wonder if he is a RAT troll? I expect to see that $hit on (insert team name)'s fan sites.

Fairchild tossed Miguel Cabrera and Jim Leyland today.

Fairchild must be doing something right, he did get assigned the All-Star Game.
