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.)
