patience is a sweet thing. Two walks! It would be better if someone besides Gonzo was strolling to the plate.

You gotta let Gonzo swing the bat here.
You got the guy rattled. Don’t let him get an easy out.

Why was Gonzo swinging away? He is an automatic out

Just one terrible hitter and a manager that seems clueless. FU*a I’m pissed
Mitchell

He looked like he was trying to strike out.
That is pathetic.
Come on Nate.
Nova Scotia Steve

A Gonzo strike-out on a pitch that never even began in the strike zone…play the record again Alex.
Eric

How do you not make him bunt or pinch hit for him? FG needs to learn how to move runners.
DAM

Really, Fredi? All year long you bunt when you shouldn’t, and then you choose NOT to bunt with one of our worst hitters at the plate, and he follows through with the K.
Elonbrave
June 29th, 2011

Unbelievable. I’ve never insulted the skipper’s intelligence. But that’s pushing it.
Moe Berg

Elonbrave–Have you actually seen his bunt attempts?
Tomahawk Mafia
June 29th, 2011

I am no huge fan of the bunt, but I thought for sure Fredi would call for it.
carney johnson

Gonzo is a good bunter based on my observations as well.
Elonbrave
June 29th, 2011

My theory: Fredi was in the John that whole at-bat. Or had a stroke. Or hates seeing runs.

Mike Mordecai > Alex Gonzalez
Mitchell
June 29th, 2011
12:02 am
In that situation, I think a strike out is better than a blown bunt attempt.
Those were really the only two options anyway.
He was going to screw it up anyway.
Tomahawkin

AGon isn’t a very good bunter, but I think it was the right play

This loss is on Fredi Gonzalez…..You absolutely MAKE AG bunt there
Mitchell

Now, here comes the double play.
northbeach Scott
June 29th, 2011
12:03 am
Not a single one of those three pitches Alex swung at were in the strike zone. I continue to be surprised how he can be so undisciplined at his age and level of experience, especially in a that spot (i.e. trailing by 1 run late with runners on 1st and 2nd and no outs. Better than a double play.
Nice eye there, Nate.

2 walks to leadoff, AGon takes a first pitch ball and then starts flailing, and then the guy walks another after K’ing Alex
Powder Blue

Just a bloop single, a SAC-RBI, or a walk, Jordan.

Gonzo’s new nickname is ‘Auto’. As in automatic out when he’s at the plate. It’s like we only have two outs per inning when he’s up. Think we should have a handicap when he’s up.
Elonbrave
June 29th, 2011
12:05 am
Ok, maybe Alex G is a horrible bunter. I can’t remember (or find) the last time he sacrificed.
fastasballs
June 29th, 2011
12:05 am
Well lets see if Schafer can prove me wrong. We need one of his fly outs about now, not the K.
kwajbraves

Strange game this one. Pineda looked like he was going to throw a no-hit and Hanson looked like he was not going to make out the 4th inning. Hanson finished strong and Pineda faded down the stretch. I just love this sport.
Tomas

12:05 am
Well bunting wouldn’t have really changed this outcome. Alex Gonzalez swung at 3 balls when Pineda couldn’t find the strike zone he even walked Uggla for crying out loud

eric- I was thinking maybe a safety
Powder Blue

A left-handed pitcher. Damnit.
TnBrian
June 29th, 2011
12:06 am
John Leonard, you got that right. We don’t score here and it could go back to him not having Gonzo try and bunt those runners over.
Now Schafer needs to come through here which will be tough for him to do.

Eric Wedge should make a guest appearance on American Chopper.
Bravofan

Eric: I’m liking that idea especially with Schafer’s speed he just has to get the ball out far enough. Then again I want a lead ha.
