If Gibbons relied only on stats, he wouldn't have got that extra 6th inning out of Stroman and would have pulled him after he went through the O's order twice, and who knows how that would have turned out.

Yeah, he burned through his relievers no doubt.
Jiminez was the 7th out of 10. Britton and Hunter weren't going to give him a ton of outs either, realistically, so if he went to Britton without Jiminez getting a single out he was going to be up against it after that.
Still though, he should have went to Britton and took his chances after that.
Tough spot though.
