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 136: With runners on first and second and one out in the bottom of the 13th, Jason Heyward lofts a single into short left-center field to bring Anthony Rizzo home and give the Cubs a 3-2 victory. WPA impact: +.297.
THE THREE HEROES:
- Superhero - Jason Heyward (.370). The BABIP overlords were in full give-back mode in this one, granting Heyward three singles on two bloops and one grounder through a drawn-in infield, giving him his best WPA performance in a Cub uniform and his first WPA above .350 since September 15, 2015 when he played for those other guys. And I loved every bit of the .370 that he got in this one.
- Hero - Aroldis Chapman (.263). There were definitely some anxious moments in the 11th inning but he managed to get out of it with his fourth strikeout in two innings of work.
- Sidekick - Addison Russell (.257). Thank goodness for the wild pitch by Santiago Casilla in the ninth, because without it Russell would probably have been on the outside looking in after a brutal third-strike call in the 10th by home plate umpire Phil Cuzzi. Even with his 3-for-5 day, that is.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Dexter Fowler (-.269). He only had three 0-for-6 games in his career before this one; the last time that it happened was back on April 16, 2014.
- Goat - Willson Contreras (-.233). An 0-for-5 day for him with a bunt fielder's choice in the ninth doing the most damage.
- Kid - Chris Coghlan (-.172). His best chance in the game came back in the second inning with a runner on second, but he ended the inning with a groundout to second. Deuces were wild, apparently.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 136: Heyward takes a big step away from the minus-50 door, hopefully leaving it in the rear-view mirror for the rest of the season.
