It's crazy to me that this man is coming off back-to-back multi-hit games, and yet in both those games, when there were stakes on the line, when he had a chance to drive people in, absolutely nothing.

Pete Crow Armstrong got on base four times last night.

How many runs did he score, Mark?

He scored one run.

Now, one of those, it's his own fault because, well, he got a single and then got picked off before the next pitch was even thrown.

That's bad.

But for him to have a leadoff triple and not score, for him to have a double and not score, that's telling of where the Cubs are.

And Alex Bregman is not it.

In the month of June...

Pete Crow Armstrong has been on base 26 times.

He scored 10 runs.

Six of those 10 runs were by way of his own home run.

That means in the other 20 times he's been on base, his teammates could not get him home but four times.

Poor guy.

That's a 20% rate.

That's not good enough.

You've got the hottest hitter in baseball on your team batting 436 in the month of June.

and yet you can't get him home more times than not, or just half the time.

I would take half the time.

And Alex Bregman is a big reason why, because Craig Council stubbornly, at this point insanely, keeps putting him in the two-hole where he is one for 18 with runners in scoring position in the month of June.
