PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity John Loos ? John Loos  who played baseball in high school   recalled Monday how  he  was watching the center fielder move during the Aug. 29 Cubs game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Wrigley Field when  he  was hit.  He  was not on  his  cellphone   he  said.
âI like the science of baseball  so I tend to watch the center fielder move as a pitch is made to see how they are trying to get a jump on the ball â  John Loos  said. âI like watching the pitch speeds  things like that.â
Wearing a patch over  his  left eye and glasses   Loos  said  he  didnât see the foul ball coming at  him . Through  his  lawsuit   he  wants the Cubs to expand their netting to prevent other fans from getting hit with flying balls or bats.
 Loos  was sitting in Section 135 â overlooking a stretch of the the first base line that extends to the outfield â during the game in which  he  was injured. An adult friend of  his  daughter has ties to the Cubs  which allowed them to get into the game without a ticket.
 Loos  was taken by ambulance from Wrigley to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center.  He  has undergone three surgeries since then and is expected to have at least two more.
 Loos  said  he  may have to replace  his  left eye with a prosthesis.  He  said  he  can still see out of  his  right eye but has had problems adjusting to light and shadows.
 Loos â attorney  Colin Dunn  said they have not determined how fast the ball was going when it hit  Loos   though he has seen video of the incident on social media.
 John Loos  remains a Cubs fan  but  he  has no plans to watch any future games from where  he  was hit with the foul ball.
âHonestly  I would probably be at home or at a bar across the street â  he  said.
