Apparently looking back at the poll for Friday's game, there's a chance that I may have left someone's name off of the list by mistake (actually, it's more than a chance, I'd say) as almost half of the poll vote went to "Someone else". Rest assured that the "Someone else" will be appearing in this poll.

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 - Jon Lester (.299). With an outing like the one he was having on Saturday, I probably wouldn't have wanted to come out of the game either.
- Hero - Anthony Rizzo (.281). So I guess he's back into full Hero podium mode again.
- Sidekick - Jason Motte (.219). Earned bonus points for navigating around the inherited runner from James Russell.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Kris Bryant (-.165). Had his fly ball in the 10th traveled a bit further, he probably would have missed the Goat podium entirely.
- Goat - Kyle Schwarber (-.144). It's important to see what both podiums look like, especially if you're only going to be around for a handful of games.
- Kid - Chris Denorfia (-.116). Due primarily to his double play to end the fourth.
The lead at the top of the plus/minus chart once again exceeds 25 points with Rizzo moving forward and Bryant moving backward on Saturday afternoon.
