2025 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 100

Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn ImagesThis is quite the WPA chart:

Fangraphs The Cubs peaked at an 84.8 percent chance of winning in the top of the fourth. It was all downhill from there.

THREE HEROES:

Superhero: Matt Shaw (.215). 2-4. HR, 3 RBI

Hero: Carson Kelly (.112). 3-4, HR

Sidekick: Ryan Brasier (.047). 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, K

These guys, at least, did their part to help the Cubs get an early lead, which they then squandered.

THREE GOATS:

Billy Goat: Ben Brown (-.622). 4 IP, 7 H, 7 R (6 ER), 2 HR

This is the seventh-worst WPA score for a Cub so far this year.

Goat: Michael Busch (-.059). 0-for-4, 2 K

Kid: Nico Hoerner (-.054.) 0-for-4, K
