Pete Crow-Armstrong made a costly defensive mistake that led to a three-run home run, following a similarly serious error the previous night. His recent performance includes only one hit and many strikeouts, while attention has also turned to a distasteful interaction with a White Sox fan over the weekend. Crow-Armstrong acknowledges a mental component, saying he is not lacking focus but is trying too hard and attempting to compensate for low production. He links physical issues to mental ones and expresses disappointment that he has not been acting as he should. An off-day is presented as an opportunity to reset and move past the recent problems.
"“Yesterday and today are genuinely laughable,” Crow-Armstrong said, searching for the words and shaking his head. You could see the disappointment. “I think one thing I can fall back on is that it's never really a lack of focus. But trying too hard and trying to make up for the lack of production that I've given this team and this city. And, you know, not acting how I should. I think anything physical usually starts mental, and I think that's just what I'm showing everybody right now.”"
"“You show up and keep pushing, but that can't happen. That kind of stuff, that just can't happen.”"
"He'd made a similarly egregious error the night before, he's had just one hit this week and a load of strikeouts, and it's all set against the backdrop of days of focus on his distasteful interaction with a White Sox fan this past weekend."
