Chicago Cubs: Pete Crow-Armstrong is not “buying into” team’s recent success

The Chicago Cubs are 39-36 on the season following their convincing win over the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday night. With the victory, Chicago has clinched their second series victory in a row. This is notable because, prior to last weekend, they had not won a series in over a month.

One of the hottest hitters on the team as of late has been Pete Crow-Armstrong, who has homered in each of their last three games. He has, indeed, been a huge reason for their success as of late, but even he is not buying into it too much.

Pete Crow-Armstrong says the Chicago Cubs need to keep stacking wins

On the season, Crow-Armstrong is hitting .276/.349/.505 with 15 home runs, 37 RBI, and 16 stolen bases. After going 1-4 with a home run last night, the Cubs centerfielder told reporters that he is not buying into the team’s recent run of success just yet.

“I’m not gonna buy into that yet, I want to keep stacking [wins],” he said. “I think what I’m happiest about is coming out after a loss and getting a W the next day. I think that’s what was really consistent about this team last year and really strong and important.”

One cannot blame the 2025 Gold Glove winner for being cautious. After all, Chicago had not exactly played winning baseball for over a month, and their last two series opponents are among the worst teams in the National League.

That being said, they need to beat those teams if they hope to climb back into the National League Central race. Furthermore, they need to start winning against superior opponents to show that they really belong among MLB’s best.
