Pete Crow-Armstrong Keeps Up Dodgers-Fan Critique as Boos and Misplay Mark L.A. Series

The Cubs outfielder’s preseason jab at Dodgers fans now trails him into every at-bat in Los Angeles.

Overview

  • Crow-Armstrong, who went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts Saturday, misplayed a deep fly that became an Alex Freeland double, drawing online taunts from Dodgers fans.
  • Following Friday's loud boos at Dodger Stadium, the Cubs rallied from 4-0 down to win 6-4 as he reached base twice and scored.
  • He jawed with spectators after Friday's finish and then heard sustained boos before each plate appearance the next day.
  • In new interviews this week, he repeated his claim that many Dodgers fans go to be seen and said he expected the hostile reception.
  • A Sherman Oaks native who grew up attending Dodgers games, he says he has received threats since his preseason remarks and continues to defend them.
