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 - Ben Zobrist (.270). The guy just keeps on hitting; since April 26, he's put up a gaudy .410 / .495 / .639 / 1.134 slash line.
- Hero - Miguel Montero (.231). Got the Cubs back to a tie game with his single in the fourth.
- Sidekick - Dexter Fowler (.026). Once again the last Cub standing on the positive side of the ledger. It's harder to win when there are only three players in plus-WPA territory.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Adam Warren (-.271). Gets the dreaded "One Strike Away" label, even if it would have only sent the game to extras. But if he gets that strike and is done for the night, he's on the other side of the podium by a long shot.
- Goat - Anthony Rizzo (-.265). For the Strat-O-Matic Baseball fans out there, you remember the feared "Line out into as many outs as possible" spot that appears on every player card. That's basically what happened to Rizzo there in the ninth. Maybe it's time to change dice...
- Kid - Kris Bryant (-.110). He got jobbed kinda hard on that strikeout in the ninth. There were two pitches closer to the zone that were called balls before the final pitch that he got rung up on.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 43: Montero joins the double-digit positive club, while Rizzo finds himself in unfamiliar territory in the middle of the second pack.
