If I'm managing, I pitch to Buxton over pitching to Gonzalez (with no open base) in that situation 100 times out of 100. I HAVE to get out of that inning. Buxton gets thrown out on ground balls all the time, this one just happened to be pretty slowly hit. And Who will be the runner at 2nd in the 8th, if we get that far, is way way down the list of concerns.
