Chicago Cubs star Pete Crow-Armstrong was livid on Wednesday afternoon after their 2-0 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Crew chief Alfonso Márquez ended up backing him up later on, too.
Crow-Armstrong was on third in the sixth inning after kicking off the frame with a double. But as Crow-Armstrong started to work his way down the third base line like he was stealing home, Diamondbacks starter Eduardo Rodriquez threw a quick pitch — but only after he had already started his initial windup and it appeared that he had pulled his left foot off the mound.
Crow-Armstrong thought he had drawn a balk, but Márquez and the rest of the umpire crew disagreed. Crow-Armstrong was furious, and had to be held back by third base coach Quintin Berry.

"We just didn’t see it. After looking at the video [postgame], it looked like he stepped off."
