Pete Crow-Armstrong provides learning moment as Chicago Cubs rally again
The Chicago Cubs are red hot, winning 16 of their last 19 games including 12 straight. But Monday night’s win was another thriller.
After having to wait out a rain delay, the Cubs found themselves trailing 3-0 to division rival Cincinnati. They battled back to tie the game but then trailed again 4-3 going into the bottom of the ninth. That’s when Pete Crow-Armstrong made a big impact.
As the lead-off hitter in the inning, Crow-Armstrong hit a triple as he put himself in scoring position. Two batters later, Nico Hoerner brought him in with a sacrifice fly. Crow-Armstrong scored standing up, but it was what happened in the dugout after that gained some more attention.

As you see above, Crow-Armstrong scores standing up and it was a lot closer of a play that it should have been. There certainly should have been a slide and usually it’s the on-deck hitter’s responsibility to signal slide or not.
After the play, the cameras caught Crow-Armstrong emphatically explaining to Matt Shaw, the on-deck hitter, that he needs to give him that signal to slide or not.

There’s nothing wrong with this. It’s just two competitors getting on the same page and making sure it doesn’t happen again. Crow-Armstrong was happy about the walk-off win for the Cubs and Michael Conforto as well.
“I think it is super cool when somebody can end a baseball game in that sort of way after having to be ready each time that there may be a pinch-hit opportunity,” Crow-Armstrong said after the game.
Getting the win certainly helped things. The Cubs are rolling and are looking like one of the best teams in baseball here in early May.
