OK I just want to clarify a few things
I felt I was getting negative, but I asked for two things today. No first inning runs and for the Cubs to not make this whole clinching thing too exciting. So clearly I got frustrated and I’m sorry. I will get mad though if Rich complains about his arm after looking like crap in that first inning.

That's nice of the Brewers' announcers to say, but it would be incorrect.
According to B-R, he has committed one error in LF, and no errors in RF.
(IIRC, the error came on a line drive in Tampa — the game in which Z hurt his shoulder — that he lost in the lights and went off his glove.)

more solo homers than with men on. Does anyone have the percentage of solo shots?

I'd rather hit him in the knee...
but that wouldn’t be nice.
OR, you could just ignore my advice and strike him out...
which, of course, is BETTER.

Is that what you call a "baserunner"?

How does that sort of thing work, exactly?

I think he tries to "advance" from one base to another.
Don’t quote me on that, though.
