Gonna need to get more production out of Chourio, Contreras, and Hoskins if this team wants to go places. These guys just aren't doing enough at the top of the lineup.

I miss Quintin Berry. Brewers basestealing has regressed pretty significantly this season and the Cubs basestealing has gotten quite a bit better.

I'm not denying he played a role but I did have a look into this after Matt Truebloods article the other day on Turang.

The Brewers are averaging.3 feet less, but actually an extra .1 feet from the base on stolen base attempts, so it's not the leads that are really a difference.

I do wonder if he picked the pitch coming better than most, but I can't get data on that unfortunately.

He's also the Cubs third base coach so even that "pitch selection" piece wouldn't have an impact. Perhaps it's game planning on what to look for but the Cubs do also have big speed in their ranks especially.

In short you could be right but I can't find any data to back that up
