This tweet from Len Kasper pretty much sums everything up.
Living and dying with every pitch, swing, throw, tag. Isn't this great?

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 - Hector Rondon (.307). Outings don't come much bigger than that one, especially having to go through the 2-3-4 hitters to try and end it.
- Hero - Kris Bryant (.198). Did his best to set the table early and then eventually said "Heck with it; I'm just going to drive one in."
- Sidekick (tie) - Fernando Rodney and Pedro Strop (.126). Although I'm pretty sure that Strop owes a partial share -- a very big one -- to Starlin Castro for his slick play on the Aramis Ramirez grounder.
THE THREE GOATS: For the 36th time this season and 33rd from the Goats, there's a bump as Jake Arrieta's -.117 hitting is moved out. His hitting now sits at minus-24 on the season.
- Billy Goat - Starlin Castro (-.137). The slick defense was definitely nice, but he looked really, really bad on his strikeouts.
- Goat - Chris Coghlan (-.127). Only needed three plate appearances to make the Goats in this game, with the big one being his whiff with runners on the corners.
- Kid - Dexter Fowler (-.112). Had a couple of hard-hit balls, one of which fell for a triple, and was victimized by a couple of borderline calls.
