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 123: With one out and runners on the corners in the bottom of the first, Nolan Arenado belts a homer to left that stays just on the fair side of the pole to give the Rockies an early 3-0 lead. WPA impact: -.161.
THE THREE HEROES (If you can call this podium such a thing):
- Superhero - Rob Zastryzny (.003). It's the new low-water mark this season for the top step of the Hero podium, easily clearing the .012 mark set by Willson Contreras back on June 22.
- Hero - Anthony Rizzo (.001). Regardless of how his day went in the field, I think he has to get at least a few style points for helping to facilitate a 25-foot "sacrifice fly" foulout.
- Sidekick - Addison Russell (.000). This was a very easy executive-decision vote as there was a four-way tie at zero for the final spot. It's been 12 years since a Cub had two homers in a game and ended up with a WPA of zero or lower; the last Cub to do it was Sammy Sosa on April 18, 2004.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Jason Hammel (-.384 / -.387). Amazingly enough this game doesn't register as his worst by Game Score standards this season; that honor still goes to the five-homer barrage that he suffered against the Mets on July 1.
- Goat - Ben Zobrist (-.042). Even in a 7-0 game the WPA overlords relish penalizing the 6-4-3.
- Kid - Kris Bryant (-.031). Some days it doesn't pay to hit second in the lineup. At least not if you don't get a hit in your first plate appearance.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 123: Rizzo moves back into a tie at the top of the chart while Hammel slips a bit further back in fifth but still well ahead of the rest of the field.
