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.
Still looking? Okay, you asked for it...
THE THREE HEROES:
- Superhero - Chris Coghlan (.003). Yes, you read that correctly: .003 took the top step of the Hero podium. The lowest WPA in 2014 to take the top spot was .006, by comparison.
- Hero - Starlin Castro (.002). He had two hits, so that counts for something.
- Sidekick - Junior Lake (-.001). Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's the dreaded anti-hero. The last time the anti-hero reared its ugly head was on September 8, 2014 in an 8-0 shellacking by the Toronto Blue Jays.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Jon Lester (-.184). Well... the second and third innings were good.
- Goat - Miguel Montero (-.070). Maybe he was just confused by being in the lineup at the same time as David Ross.
- Kid - Addison Russell (-.059). To make matters worse, he ends up taking the final spot partially because his single in the fifth was erased by anti-hero Lake being thrown out at home. Ugh.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 56 ("x" indicates player not on active roster):
Coghlan pushes his way back out of the cellar, while Lester sinks a little further into negative territory.
