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 Ramirez Catalyst of Game 118: With two on and two out in the bottom of the third, Kris Bryant rips a single into left field that scores David Ross and gives the Cubs a 1-0 lead. WPA impact: +.089.
THE THREE HEROES:
- Superhero - Jason Hammel (.384 / .480). Just one start after posting his season-best Game Score (73 on August 10), he breaks it with a 77 in this one. And then there was his ground-rule double into the ivy in the fifth just to make his slash line look cool.
- Hero - Kris Bryant (.146). He's been quite active on the podiums lately, making it onto one or the other in each of the past five games (three Heroes, two Goats).
- Sidekick - Javier Baez (.111). Had he gotten a little less loft on his homer in the sixth, it could have made a nice dent on the board in left.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Matt Szczur (-.130). Had a couple of opportunities earlier in the game but couldn't come through. Also played a role in the fate of the final Goat podium step when he was tagged out at the plate on an extremely close play in the fifth.
- Goat - David Ross (-.110). The uncommon 5-3 double play rears its head and takes Ross down with it.
- Kid - Anthony Rizzo (-.093). It doesn't really matter what he did (or didn't do) at the plate; the bank of style points is completely drained -- they're probably going to add a second building to stock more up -- after that catch he made on the first-base ledge in the fifth.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 118: The race in the top five chart positions tightens up, while the bottom of the chart gets perilously close to welcoming a minus-40 member.
