Some mornings it's very difficult to come up with something snappy to say here (or even something that's even borderline creative). I've got nothing today. One of many reasons why I'll never be confused with an actual writer.

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 - Tommy La Stella (.133). The quintessential "fruit basket" Superhero award as his entire night was determined by the botched play by Nori Aoki.
- Hero - Kris Bryant (.082). Drove in the Cubs' only two runs and stuck the second step with his double in the fourth.
- Sidekick - Chris Denorfia (.072). Did his best to set the table, but unfortunately it didn't lead to any runs.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Kyle Hendricks (-.227). It could have been a lot worse with the way that first inning went.
- Goat - Addison Russell (-.203). The double play in the fifth hurt, but the strikeout with two in scoring position in the seventh was the killer.
- Kid - Anthony Rizzo (-.163). That plus-50 ceiling must be really hard to break.
