Gonzalez is painfully slow. So slow that it may mitigate his opposite-field hitting prowess. Why play him deep when you can cut off the short part of the field and still hold him to a single on balls off the wall? Same Park as always. Sometimes wicked stuff, but somehow in 5 innings he gives up 7 hits and 4 runs. The Braves offense is red-hot now, so he's earned a couple more chances, but how can anyone be happy with that outing? Khalil with a walk! Hypocrite that I am, I wanted him to walk more but then I was p.o.'d when he took that backup hanging slider from Villareal for strike one in the 8th. If he'd taken his usual swing at that it might not have landed yet. Langerhans made the play of the game on Sledge. Whole different story if he doesn't get there.

With that kind of start by Chan Ho and the offense got off to a start, it really was winnable. I'm also going to concede that at least Bochy stuck with Sledge but he coulda put a righty up there as seeing that the righties (Castilla, Mirabelli) went the other way and got hits.. I wouldn't have been mad if he used EY there.. it's just he didn't feel like it.

That's the second straight game Mirabelli has muffed what should have been an easy play. In their defense, it was a terrible call.
