Those two are probably easier to watch than Bryzzo, anyway.

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 Gonzalez Mishap of Game 115: With the bases loaded and one out in the top of the eighth inning, Carl Edwards Jr. strikes out Yadier Molina on a slider in the dirt, but the ball gets away from Willson Contreras allowing Stephen Piscotty to score and giving the Cardinals a 3-2 lead. WPA impact: -.228.
THE THREE HEROES:
- Superhero - Addison Russell (.180). Perhaps he took offense to the vilification that came his way for nudging Matt Szczur off of the podium on Friday.
- Hero - Kyle Hendricks (.098 / .040). He definitely deserved a better fate than the one that he was dealt in this game.
- Sidekick - Dexter Fowler (.001). And one day after putting three Goats on the podium with WPAs of zero, the overlords decide to give a little back and put Fowler on the final step of the Heroes with a WPA just above zero despite his own efforts to ruin his chances at the final spot by getting caught stealing after his only hit.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Carl Edwards Jr. (-.383). How to raise your ERA from 1.42 to 3.66 in just one outing: Walk a whole bunch of guys, leave the game with the bases loaded, and then watch as...
- Goat - Joe Smith (-.109). ...brings them all in with a grand slam by Randal Grichuk that lands in the basket in left-center. Ugh.
- Kid - Kris Bryant (-.085). The Cubs' lone 0-for-4 on the day, capped with a bases-loaded groundout to end the second inning.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 115: Hendricks continues to keep pace with the rest of the starting rotation as the top five on the chart continues their breakaway from the rest of the pack.
