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 122: With runners on second and third and two out in the fourth, Miguel Montero hits a seeing-eyed single past DJ LeMahieu, bringing both runners home and extending the Cubs' lead to 4-0. WPA impact: +.126.
THE THREE HEROES:
- Superhero - Mike Montgomery (.209 / .222). Just what the doctor ordered on a "bullpen day": four-plus solid innings of work from your bullpen starter. Not pictured on the podium is Trevor Cahill, primarily because of the 7-1 score when he entered the game. But kudos to him for another strong outing nonetheless.
- Hero - Dexter Fowler (.134). There's definitely a fruit basket heading to Jeff Hoffman for this podium spot as Hoffman's errant throw to first on an attempted pickoff ended up giving Fowler more than one-third of his WPA score for the evening. Still, a 2-for-4 day with a walk is great to see regardless.
- Sidekick - Miguel Montero (.114). All of the right grounders finding all of the right holes in the infield.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Jorge Soler (-.082). A couple of missed opportunities with runners in scoring position, with a flyout to center in the fourth with runners on second and third cementing him to the top step.
- Goat - Addison Russell (-.050). The storyline is almost identical for Russell, who had the same chance in the fourth but grounded out to third.
- Kid - Matt Szczur (-.033). Nothing major on his day; he was on the final step by the time that the Cubs had a 7-1 lead, making his single in the sixth rather unnoticed by the WPA overlords.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 122: The top of the chart remains unchanged while Fowler and Soler come close to passing each other on the opposite side.
