Crow-Armstrong’s MVP Moment Turns Sour | Milwaukee Brewers News

About this episode

Pete Crow-Armstrong’s MVP-caliber season hit a rocky patch Tuesday, as he went hitless and erupted over a disputed strikeout call — losing his challenge and tossing his bat in frustration. The moment drew fire from analyst Dan Clark, calling it selfish and over-the-top, especially with the Cubs trailing 4-9 in a crucial divisional series. Yet Crow-Armstrong’s stats remain elite: .282 batting average, 38 homers, 91 RBIs, with projections pointing to 45 homers and 100+ RBIs — putting him squarely in the MVP race alongside a slumping Shohei Ohtani. Meanwhile, the Brewers’ Christian Yelich and Joey Ortiz powered their offense with home runs, sealing the win and tying the series at one game apiece. High stakes, high drama — every play is magnified when MVPs are on the line.

On September 2nd, so, Pee Crow Armstrong, the guy who's been lighting it up this season and is a serious MVP contender, had a rough night Tuesday. He went hitless against the Brewers, and things got a little heated in the fifth inning. He thought he drew a walk on a full count, but the umpire called it a strikeout. Crow Armstrong challenged the call, but it was upheld, and he lost the challenge. This whole situation sparked some debate. Baseball analyst Dan Clark wasn't holding back, calling Crow Armstrong's action selfish and overly dramatic. Especially the bat toss after the strike. Call. It's a tough look when you're in the middle of a crucial series, and the team ends up losing the game 4-9. Crow Armstrong's numbers this year are pretty impressive though. He's hitting 2-8-2 with 38 home runs and 91 RBI's. Projections have him finishing with 45 homeers and over 100 RBI's, putting him squarely in the MVP conversation, especially with other top. Guys like Shohei, Ota Nee going through a bit of a slump.

The Cubs are in the thick of a big divisional series with the Brewers, and this loss evens things up at one game a piece. The Brewers had a solid offensive night with Christian Yell-Ich and Joey Ortiz both hitting home runs and several other players driving and runs to. Secure the win. It's definitely a moment that highlights the pressure and intensity of these late season games. Every call, every play, and every player's reaction is under a microscope, especially when MVP hardware is on the line. This has been Milwaukee Brewers News Today, powered by AI.
