As the 2021 season winds down, for those of us here in the world of Heroes and Goats, there is but one piece of drama left. Who will win this year’s Rizzo Award? For a very long time, it appeared that the long-departed Kris Bryant would win on the virtue of his strong start to the season. If we did a little more number crunching and looked at this metric on a per-game standard, Craig Kimbrel had the better first half. But, the long stretches of uncompetitive baseball led to long stretches of Craig rotting on the end of the bullpen bench looking for opportunities to contribute that were few and far between.
