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 121: The final play of the game. With Nick Hundley on first and one out, Ryan Raburn lines a double off of the right-field wall that scores Hundley while an errant throw to the plate ends up in the Cubs' dugout, allowing Raburn to score from third and ending the game. WPA impact: -.754.
THE THREE HEROES:
- Superhero - Dexter Fowler (.405). It was definitely his run-scoring single in the 11th that got him here, but he wouldn't have made it without the help of his leadoff homer and a walk in the 10th.
- Hero - Kyle Hendricks (.285 / .292). I'm just going to lift this straight from the Game 115 edition of Heroes and Goats because it was true for him there was well: He definitely deserved a better fate than the one that he was dealt in this game.
- Sidekick (tie) - Felix Pena and Rob Zastryzny (.164). Both make their major-league debut and both end up on the final step thanks to scoreless innings in the ninth and 10th. Although Zastryzny's debut was much more eventful than Pena's was.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Aroldis Chapman (-.755). There's probably a case to be made for giving an assist on this one to either Javier Baez for the errant throw up the line or maybe to Willson Contreras for not making the stop on the errant throw (because he was almost there), but the throw doesn't matter without the runners being on base to start with, and that was all on Chapman.
- Goat - Carl Edwards Jr. (-.238). Inherited two runners, had one score on a ground-rule double, and then had the other runners score on a groundout and a sacrifice fly. Three batters, three runs in. I guess that's efficiency of some sort.
- Kid - Matt Szczur (-.181). The BABIP overlords definitely had his number in this one with two grounders gobbled up behind second base and a fly ball to left caught on a diving play by Gerardo Parra.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 121: Hendricks moves into third place on the chart, nudging himself ahead of Jake Arrieta by one-half of a point.
