Uh oh, Chicago Cubs superstar outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong had a moment he would like to forget in Wednesday’s contest against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Cubs are avoiding being swept by the Brewers in a three-game set, and as this is being typed, Milwaukee leads 4-0 in the top of the fourth. Chicago’s NL Central lead is gone.
In Wednesday’s game, Pete Crow-Armstrong let a line drive to center field get past him, and it wound up being an inside-the-park home run.
ESPN’s Jesse Rogers wrote (on May 20): “Just a disaster for the Cubs as Pete Crow-Armstrong lets a ball go under him for a 3-run, inside the park little league HR by David Hamilton. Second day in a row he’s made a bad error. Mil up 3-0 in the 2nd, looking for the sweep. Wow.”
It appears the mental side of baseball could be catching up to PCA.
