On Friday, for the Cubsâ game against the Dodgers, Crow-Armstrong naturally got a chorus of boos from the fans throughout the night, something that fans will not be stopping throughout the series and likely, for years to come, when he plays at Dodger Stadium.
The Cub grew up in Los Angeles and attended multiple Dodgers games, becoming a fan of individual Dodgers players rather than the team as a whole.
However, while taking time to praise Cubs fans, he decided to stoke a rivalry with Dodgers fans, which he continued right before Fridayâs game.
âThey obviously exist, theyâre out there. I grew up seeing those people, too, but itâs a see-me city, man. Itâs a Lakers city where people show up to sit courtside and look good. And I view it the same way here.â
PCAâs performance on Friday
Crow-Armstrong ended up scoring twice on Friday, one of which came after he lined a single from Tanner Scott that set up Dansby Swanson for the game-winning home run.
While walking to home plate, he took some extra time and yelled at Dodger fans after the game, continuing to trade bars with the fans.
âIf weâre going to be immature and childish about it. Iâd say they started it, they just gave me an opportunity to kind of run with it,â PCA added.
He is having a terrible season at the plate in 2026 compared to his success during the first half of 2025. Roki Sasaki will try to quell Crow-Armstrong on Saturday and help the Dodgers get back on the winning track, hoping to take home the series.
