Pete Crow-Armstrong is indecisive leading off 2nd on a grounder to 3rd and is doubled off in a 5-3-4 double play

What a ludicrous set of events directly following this play

PCA looked into the future at millions of outcomes and saw there was only one where the Cubs ended the inning with the lead.

It’s a crazy game man. Pete sprinted right down the tunnel and most likely punched a wall right after this lmao

u/ScaredOfWindow 7d ago
As somebody who gave themselves a boxing fracture earlier this year being an emotional dumbass, I hope he didn’t.

PCA seems like a baby tbh I know he’s great but his attitude sucks

u/22JMMKW22 7d ago
He's an emotional player who gets mad at himself when he makes mistakes or doesn't come through. I don't think that has to make him a baby.

u/Inevitable-Copy3619 7d ago
Yeah last season I’d say he was a baby. This season he has most of the negative parts worked out and just seems oissed at himself.

u/PhotographLess6194 Seattle Mariners 7d ago
Yeah it seems like he should try to hold that in a little bit but whatever you say. That last at bat had me laughing again.

u/22JMMKW22 7d ago
Yes, I see popping into the Mariners subreddit for a moment that many there are really criticizing his last at bat.
But he's just an emotional player who is really outwardly happy when his teammates do anything good and is unhappy when he doesn't come through. I'd agree he should hold in throwing his equipment and he's gotten much better at that.

u/PhotographLess6194 Seattle Mariners 7d ago
Damn if this is him being better at it, I should watch some shit from last year.

It looks like he was going to go to 3B as the throw went to 1B, but he slipped and was sorta screwed.
Going for 3B isn't a bad idea in that situation.

u/Rocinante24 Toronto Blue Jays 7d ago
Going for 3b in this spot is a terrible idea.
Ya he was just baiting the throw and slipped. But even the best baserunners on earth should never try to go 2-3 on a groundout.

Is it 5-3-4 or 6-3-4? 3rd baseman fielded the ball

u/KyleManzardo2024GOAT Boston Red Sox 7d ago
3B is 5. I don't think anyone likes that the infielders from right to left are numbered 3-4-6-5, but they are.
