Chicago Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong did not mince words when discussing his recent defensive struggles, calling his errors over the past two games "laughable" following Wednesday's 5-0 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers.
The latest miscue occurred in the second inning of Wednesday's game when a ball scooted under Crow-Armstrong's glove, marking the second consecutive game in which the center fielder committed a defensive error. The mistakes contributed to a difficult stretch for the Cubs, who were shut out by Milwaukee.
Defensive reliability in center field remains crucial for the Cubs as they navigate the 2026 season. Errors in the outfield can extend innings and provide opposing teams with additional scoring opportunities, as evidenced by Wednesday's shutout loss.
The Cubs will look to rebound from the loss as they continue their series against division rivals. For Pete Crow-Armstrong, the focus will be on eliminating the defensive lapses that have marked his past two appearances in center field.
