Introduction to the Cubs Wild Card Celebration
CHICAGO – Pete Crow-Armstrong and Seiya Suzuki are from different sides of the planet, but they share a special bond in the Cubs outfield.
"He means everything."
Crow-Armstrong stopped mid-interview during the Cubs locker room celebration to sneak up on Suzuki and shower him with champagne before embracing the right fielder, who seemed to cry tears of joy on PCA’s shoulder.
"The energy he supplies every day. Seiya’s, obviously an incredible baseball player, but again getting to share the outfield with him – getting to share our space together – that’s one guy I’m really happy to be able to do it with."
Emotional Day for PCA
It was an emotional day for PCA at the plate. He finally broke out of his series long slump, going 3 for 4 and driving in the first run of the game after striking out six times in Games 1 and 2.
"This is gratifying. Getting those hits is working – what I go to work to do every day. This is gratifying. Feeding off Buschy’s homer, feeding off Jamo’s five innings, feeding off Kitty being able to come in at the end of the game – that’s gratifying."
Looking Ahead to the Divisional Series
The Cubs now head to Milwaukee for the Divisional Series. First pitch is scheduled for Saturday at 1pm.
