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 - Miguel Montero (.233). The grand slam put him at the top, but without his earlier single and walk he probably would have finished second to the destroyer of baseballs below him.
- Hero - Kris Bryant (.174). Regardless of what the final distance may have been, one thing's for sure; that ball was absolutely massacred.
- Sidekick - Chris Coghlan (.100). Gets a real cheapie podium spot thanks to the wild pitch from Enrique Burgos. Meanwhile, Kyle Hendricks hangs his head on the sideline with his .099 WPA on the day.
THE THREE GOATS: For the second straight day there's a bump on the podium as Kyle Hendricks' -.026 hitting is moved out. That makes 34 bumps on the season, 31 from the Goat side.
- Billy Goat - Austin Jackson (-.134). It was a close race for the top of the Goats, and honestly I figured it would have been the next guy down who got it in a landslide. Perhaps it's karma coming back to get him from Friday's double play.
- Goat - Dexter Fowler (-.132). It's been a little over two years since his last golden sombrero, and it's the first time he's ever done it in a game in which he had only four plate appearances.
- Kid - Addison Russell (-.011). Had his infield single scored a run he would have missed the podium, but then again, had he not beat out that single, he still would have been here. So I guess it's a bit of a wash.
