Why Magruder you ask? Well, it actually makes a lot of sense IMO. Here's why: The score is 5-1 with the Brewers ahead, so its not what I would consider to be an "important at bat". In the (unlikely) event that this game ends up going extra innings, now you have Branyan for a much more critical at bat. Durrington could have been used in that situation and I would have applauded that, too. Edit: Mikevan beat me to it.
