PM made 2 absolutely terrible decisions that cost us this game. One is pulling poche in the 6th at 98 piches. He could have easily gotten 4 more outs. Hess has never had to go that long out if the pen. The other unforgiveable is the hit and run with deichmann up a runner at 3rd and 1 out. You have to let deichmann swing away there and hope he doesnt hit into a double play, for quite a few reasons.
And im a Pm apologist

He could've easily gotten hit hard again a few times or issued a few walks, and the story would be leaving Poche in too long with Hess ready to go. How many pitches did Hess throw in that inning, 5?

At the time it was a 1 run game. 1 run is significantly easier to score than 2 runs. Who gave you the better chance to get you out of the game without scoring the runner on 2nd? Clear answer is Hess... Now the case can be made he was left in to long, but it was the right call to bring him in...


Did the hit and run have any bearing on the play? If anything it kept us out of a double play cause that's exactly what Deichman would have hit into if not for the hit and run. If any blame is to be had on that play it is Kramer running from 3rd.
