Can we take a moment to appreciate Heyward?

For all the garbage he got and the struggles he’s had, he’s been really, really good dating back to July. 

He was still pretty bad last year from July until the end of the season, but man, he's been absurdly good offensively so far this year.  Hitting the ball as hard as he ever has and hitting fewer grounders.

Javy and Heyward kind of carrying the Cubs right now.

And Contreras.  But Rizzo is finally showing signs of life as well.  KB/Meatball/Zobrist need to get their heads out.

Almora has really been struggling at the plate. Luckily his defense is great. 

And then he takes Jansen deep.  Nice reverse jinx!  

But you're not wrong.  It's still early, but Almora has not done much to counter the argument that he's a 4th OF/late inning defensive CF replacement.

Rizzo and KB starting to heat up.

And just like that, Rizz is back to being Rizz.  130 wRC+ with a comically low .227 BABIP.

KB is starting to hit rockets all over the field again.  Getting unlucky with his BABIP recently as well.  Over his past 10 games, he's hitting .250/.404/.556 (151 wRC+) with a .226 BABIP.  

Obviously, getting prime Bryzzo back makes this team extremely formidable.
