I think that so many people have complained about this one move it deserves its own thread.
With Pillar at second and 2 down Gibby had to make a move for an injured Donaldson. He decided to pinch hit Carrera over Colabello Navarro and others. I simply cannot find an answer for this.
Suppose that the reasoning was that he might need Cola later in the game. Perhaps. But when we look at his bench we will see that a Cola pinch hit later in the game was just not possible. With no more infielders Pennington and Goins would have to remain in the game. So the only legitimate candidate that Cola could have pinched hit for was Smoak against a LHP. In that case Navarro was always there.
I think Gibby messed up here and simply got out managed. Carrera is not a very good hitter and that showed in the at bat. Rangers took Gallardo out of the game after this, and this was really the turning point. A hit there and Bautista gets an at bat with a chance to tie or take the lead
