From the "Bizarro World" files: There was only one pitcher on Sunday who had a positive WPA.
And that was Edwin Jackson.
Uh... hmm.

Writer's Note: The daily selections of the three Heroes and three Goats are based solely on the top three and bottom three WPA scores for the game. The selections are not based on my subjective opinion.
THE THREE HEROES:
- Superhero - Starlin Castro (.051). Another table-setter award in this game with his big play being the single in the third to put runners on the corners. As you can tell from that statement, the Hero list was pretty uneventful on Sunday.
- Hero - Kris Bryant (.041). Exhibit Two: A beanball and a double with nobody on.
- Sidekick - Dexter Fowler (.031). Exhibit Three: Two singles, one of them a bunt, and an assist to Matt Kemp for his error to move Fowler up a base.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Jason Motte (-.182). This was not a good series for the bullpen.
- Goat - Anthony Rizzo (-.088). Gets bumped up a notch as a result of the -.127 put up hitting by Jon Lester.
- Kid - Brian Schlitter (-.074). And that allowed yet another member of the bullpen to take the podium on Sunday.

The top of the plus/minus chart turns into a giant jumble with Rizzo moving down and Fowler moving up.
