Hitting did not "lose" this one, but it sucks to have a catcher who cant hit OR defend...

<font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" size="3">Defense: He has 7 passed balls, has dropped 2 foul pops, has 326 chances, but 290 of those are K's by pitchers, so he has 32 assists to go with 4 errors. He has thrown out 7 of 26 attempting to steal, so that is about average.

But to go along to get along, he is probably the best Cohen has to put out there, which is understandable. But he did not hit in key situations tonight and it was a passed ball by him that allowed the winning run to score, not a wild pitch. So if he simply knocks it down, there is a .988 chance he throws the batter out at first after the strike out, which, of course keeps the run from counting. Just a minor detail consider how the rest of that 8th inning went.
