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 - Jake Arrieta (.209). Had a pretty smooth first five innings and got himself out of a massive jam in the sixth with minimal damage.
- Hero - Hector Rondon (.179). With a huge assist to David Ross on the pickoff to end the game.
- Sidekick - Pedro Strop (.131). His eighth was rather humdrum in comparison to Rondon's ninth.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Starlin Castro (-.112). I'll just let you guys write the description for this one.
- Goat - Chris Coghlan (-.111). Just missed beating out the double play to end the eighth.
- Kid - Justin Grimm (-.084). Takes the final spot courtesy of allowing a walk and a bunt single that went about 20 feet.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 52 ("x" indicates player not on active roster):
All of the action on Thursday night was at the basement door with Coghlan moving back to the bottom and Castro sliding precariously close to the cellar as well.
