Pete Crow-Armstrong admits he didn’t ‘show up’ after dreadful Cubs series

Following a stunning regular season highlighted by a historic offensive milestone and a league-leading wins-above-replacement metric, Chicago Cubs star Pete Crow-Armstrong shouldered the blame after a quick postseason elimination. The twenty-four-year-old outfielder managed no hits across seven plate appearances with four strikeouts as his squad was swept out of the wild-card round by the San Diego Padres.

Speaking to reporters after the concluding four-to-one defeat, the centerpiece slugger lamented his lack of production when the franchise required his best effort most. Having previously struggled during the prior year postseason as well, the former first-round selection noted that his primary goal moving forward is simply delivering on the field during high-stakes games to help propel the club deeper into October.
