Defensive replacement is done when game is close and in doubt, certainly at least as save situation. Unfortunately 4 runs is nothing in the last inning in our leagues so the logic is not ideal.
Gibson I would never have a defensive replacement for, however since there was the tying run on second and there was a Cather (X) chance that ended the eighth inning the defensive replacement may have saved the game.
