You can't take a fastball down the middle just because it occurs on the first pitch.
It might be the best pitch he sees in that AB.
In the second inning, he took a first pitch fastball down the middle, got behind in the count, and strcuk out on a slider out of the strike zone.
In the seventh, he swung at a first pitch fastball down the middle, and hit a solid line drive that happened to be caught by the CF.

Silver Lining . . .
I think having a week of “blow off” games does more harm than good to a team’s playoff performance . . . I think that’s why Wild Card teams typically do well. Because they’re usually the team that’s fighting to make the playoffs right to the end . . . So we all need to relax . . . The Cubs are NOT going to blow a 9 game lead. Assuming we lose, that just means one more day of playing pennant chase baseball. Not a bad thing . . .

Too bad
that he’s not eligible to be placed on the postseason roster. I’m very impressed with him so far.

He can make the postseason roster.
He was in the organization on Aug. 31, and the Cubs have several “freebies” based on the number of guys they have on the DL.
This is his audition. Remember Kevin Hart from last year?

Yes, but...
…I’m pretty sure that a player must appear on the 40-man roster prior to Sept. 1 in order to be eligible. That would exclude Randy Wells, Koyie Hill, Casey McGehee, and Angel Guzman.

they can find ways to get him on it if need be
based on who was on the roster on Sept. 1 and if someone needs to go on the DL. The Angels snuck K-Rod on their roster in 2002.

I cannot believe some people are freaking out......IF we lose this game we still have
a 7 game lead with 10 to go……..and the Brewers have to play some games too…..the odds of us giving up a 7 run lead is preposterous…..chill all…..we are in…….cripes…….and I am not even a polly positive most of the time…..

its just the fact that the brewers have 6 games with the reds and pirates
and at worst will probably go 4-2, 5-1.

You're giving Milwaukee too much credit
They lost 2-of-3 at home to Cincinnati last week. Though who knows which version of the ‘bad Pirates’ will show up. They could be ‘bad’ or ‘terrible’ depending on how they play.

I am not worried about not making winning the division.
I am more disappointed with the play today. Too many walks, too many errors. It’s frustrating lose a game like this.
