The Chicago Cubs eccentric rookie made a huge mistake on Sunday, but his teammates and coaches had his back after the game.
Though one of the Chicago Cubs rookie hasn’t had the easiest transition to the big leagues, it would be hard to describe him as boring.
Unfortunately, the latest development in the career of Pete Crow-Armstrong was a negative one.
In the top of the eighth inning during Saturday’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals, and with two outs on the board already, Nolan Arenado hit what looked like a routine fly ball out into shallow center field.
Nico Hoerner, the closest to the ball, backed up for the catch but was called off by Crow-Armstrong who was flying in to try and make the play.
It looks as though he misjudged how far the ball was from him, and despite a last second attempt to slide, the ball fell safely to the ground.
