Ex-player drops brutally honest Pete Crow-Armstrong admission

Although the Chicago Cubs struggled last weekend against the St. Louis Cardinals, they got some production out of Pete-Crow Armstrong.

The dynamic centerfielder came away with a four-hit game on May 30 in a 6-1 win, as well as making a great diving catch. However, the Cardinals viewed him as “overrated” and let it be known from the stands.

Nevertheless, former MLB player Trevor Plouffe is sticking up for PCA, per Talkin’ Baseball. If anything, Plouffe wants PCA not to care what people think and play.

“He wants people to be talking about him, but I want him to just not like that,” Plouffe said. “It’s so fun just to see him play ball. He’s so good. I feel like PCA is a guy that should be universally loved and that hasn’t been his path.”

PCA is a player who thrives on the hostility of opposing fans and channels it into his game. As was the case against the Cardinals on Saturday.

Lately, PCA has been a lightning rod for controversy when engaging with fans. Back in February, he took verbal pot shots at fans of the Los Angeles Dodgers while celebrating the friendliness of the friendly confines. In mid-May, he was fined for making a vulgar remark to a fan during the Cubs/White Sox series.

He would later apologize for those remarks.

PCA is batting .237 with 52 hits, 7 home runs, and 26 RBIs. The Cubs are 32-28 and are in 4th place in the National League Central Division. They have lost seven out of their last ten games.
