I think I\u2019m learning to use that to my advantage instead of me shaking in my boots when I\u2019m up there and wanting to get the job done so badly. It\u2019s also a regular thing at Wrigley.

I did everything I could to help the team. But I also had a real lapse in focus and that really could have hurt us tonight. That\u2019s what I\u2019m talking about. Not going to dwell on that. Something so simple as someone gets in your ear and says that can\u2019t ever happen again, and it can\u2019t ever happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Crow-Armstrong has a 19-game on-base streak dating to May 26, hitting safely in 18 of those games.
