Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayIt has not been a banner week for Pete Crow-Armstrong.
After his caught-on-video vulgar comments made to a female fan taunting him during a game against the White Sox on Sunday, the Gold Glove Cubs center fielder made a pair of ugly errors that even he admitted were terrible, including one Wednesday in which he let a David Hamilton single bounce right by him, leading to a three-run Little League home run for the Brewers.
That came after Crow-Armstrong, the former Mets prospect traded in the Javier Baez deal in 2021, dropped a fly ball Tuesday.
“Yesterday and today are genuinely laughable,” Crow-Armstrong told reporters Wednesday after the Cubs’ 5-0 loss, their fifth straight defeat.
“One thing I can fall back on is, it’s never a lack of focus but [instead] trying too hard and trying to make up for the lack of production that I have given this team and this city.”
The 24-year-old, an All-Star last season, leads all center fielders this year with three errors, and he’s tied for second among all outfielders; the Astros’ Cam Smith has four errors.

During the fifth inning Sunday, after a female fan sitting in the outfield told him “you suck,” Crow-Armstrong shockingly responded, “You suck my f–king d–k bitch.”
He was fined an undisclosed amount over the incident.
A women fan in white said she was heckling Pete Crow-Armstrong on Sunday. After initially saying he felt the need to talk back, Crow-Armstrong said he regretted his choice of words.
According to Baseball Reference, Crow-Armstrong still leads MLB in defensive wins above replacement (WAR) this season at 1.5.
He’s hitting .225 with a .659 OPS, five home runs, five doubles, two triples, 20 RBIs and 12 steals in 50 games.
Crow-Armstrong signed a six-year, $115 million contract extension with the Cubs before the season began.
The Cubs (29-21) have hit the skids and lost their NL Central lead to the Brewers (29-18) in what has been the most competitive division in baseball so far, with all five teams entering Thursday over .500.
