Summary

Matt Spiegel and Laurence Holmes debated how much blame Cubs third-base coach Quintin Berry deserved for center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong getting tagged out at third base in the team's 5-4 win against the Guardians on Wednesday. Crow-Armstrong didn't know he needed to slide on the play as Berry was a long way down the third-base line waving another runner home.

armstrong going into third base not realizing you needed to slide because, in my opinion, Quentin Berry,

nobody's telling him to slide A, and B is thinking about going in standing up because nobody's telling

1:17.6

1:19.3

And who's supposed to help him not be in between?
