Jason Motte summed our feelings up pretty perfectly, I'd say:

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 (.379). I can't think of any other fun facts to add that Al hasn't already covered in his recap. The dude's just crazy insane good, and even that might be an understatement.
- Hero - Kris Bryant (.225). And a big congratulations to him for setting the new Cubs' rookie single-season home run record.
- Sidekick - Kyle Schwarber (.026). I'm not sure exactly who gets the fruit basket: Jean Segura for missing the over-the-shoulder catch or the other two guys who were in the area of the play on Schwarber's bloop double and didn't make it.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Javier Baez (-.059). Came close to a hit in the second but was denied on a nice play by Segura.
- Goat - Miguel Montero (-.057). Also had a chance at a hit on a comebacker in the fourth but Tyler Cravy was able to knock it down.
- Kid - Anthony Rizzo (-.035). Even the guys at the top of the chart have to have an off-night every once in a while.
