Despite being one of the youngest guys in the dugout, Pete Crow-Armstrong has clearly defined himself as a leader in the clubhouse and a leader on the field. Through his maturity in handling adversity against the competition to homering three games in a row, PCA has established himself as a household name across the MLB world.

The Cubs notched a second win against the Rockies in the series closer on Wednesday, marking the series in favor of the Cubs. This means the Cubs have won back to back series since a seven game home stretch in early May. It's understandable why the Cubs should be happy they climbed another step, but they understand that there's still far to climb if they're to topple the Brewers this season.

Pete Crow-Armstrong understands the Cubs have not accomplished everything yet

"I'm not gonna buy into that yet, I want to keep stacking (wins). I think what I'm happiest about is coming out after a loss and getting a W the next day. I think that's what was really consistent about this team last year and really strong and important."

With the Cubs resting at 8.0 games out of first place, it's extremely important that the Cubs consistently win if they're intending to make a run at the NL Central. With the Brewers routinely going on three or more game win streaks, .500 baseball isn't going to make the cut. PCA understands this, and that's exactly why he's not celebrating.

That's a very veteran perspective to take, and it's just another reason why PCA has become a leader on the Cubs. His focus isn't on celebrating the small victories, but rather his attention remains on the bigger picture. Enjoying the small victories is important, especially when moral is low, but keeping the eye on the prize is the name of the game in a 162 game season.

PCA's comments won't magically erase the Cubs' recent struggles, but they do show the mindset this team needs moving forward. If Chicago is going to climb back into the National League Central race, it'll take a lot more stacking wins and a lot less celebrating them.
