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 142: The Cubs get on the board early in this game as Kris Bryant sends a double down the third-base line, scoring Dexter Fowler and giving the Cubs a 1-0 lead two batters into the top of the first. WPA impact: +.119.
THE THREE HEROES:
- Superhero - Javier Baez (.191). He had a very interesting second inning in this game: Singled, advanced to second on a sacrifice fly, moved to third on a throwing error after a lineout, and then scored on a wild pitch. That's one way to get a bunch of WPA.
- Hero - Kris Bryant (.092). Driving in the first run of the game was all that he needed in this one.
- Sidekick - Jake Arrieta (.074). He got through the first five innings without too much trouble, but the wheels definitely started to come loose in the sixth.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Ben Zobrist (-.027). One of two Cubs in the starting lineup to get left out of the hit parade on Sunday.
- Goat - Anthony Rizzo (-.020). He did have a single in this one, but it came after the score was already 7-0.
- Kid - David Ross (-.014). Moved several runners along with a sacrifice fly and a foulout down the first-base line, but the WPA overlords tend to find those plays to be less than impressive. They're finicky like that.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 142: Arrieta moves back into the plus-30 club, once again giving the Cubs four players that are over the plus-30 mark for the season.
