Losing streak began with Contreras call up?

This is a desperate attempt to find something, ANYTHING, that can explain this horrible stretch of baseball. I'm simply at a loss. -
Hear me out. I like Contreras a lot. I like the skill, the youthful exuberance, and the attitude. But I can't help but notice that this recent run of bad baseball started around the same time he was called up. I know the pitching has been abysmal and that the lack of hitting with RISP is atrocious but can we draw any correlation between his call up and the club's recent bad play? The team seemed to gel and have a lot of fun before he got here. Is he a pain in the butt? Is it the Sosa effect? OR, are the Cubs just hitting a really rough patch that happens to coincide with Contreras' promotion?
