Why'd they send him down?

Anyone else scare their sister by cursing loudly after Beckham's home run? Well me neither. It was the rare time where the Twins' setup platoon blew it. It was only their fourth blown save of the season, just as many as Joe Nathan, so they deserve some slack. Especially after both of them pitched yesterday. Gardy's bullpen decisions confuse me sometimes. Neither of them pitched a lot last night, but the amount that Ron uses these guys is frightening. He's had to, but now with Crain on the shallow end and the Rauch acquisition he doesn't. Jesse was sitting on twenty pitches, he could have feasibly pitched to another batter. Rauch could have come in earlier; could it really hurt to use a fresh setup-caliber pitcher as a setup man? Doesn't really sound like the Twins won tonight, does it?

But they did, thanks to a Brendan Harris hit, some sound baserunning by Nick Punto, a flailing Carlos Gomez, and Jose Morales. I can't pretend to know everything that separates an ok catcher from a good one. Defensively at least. With the bat though, Morales is Mike Redmond times five: better average, better power, and much younger. His lack of real power won't fly at other positions, but if he can stay behind the plate he could turn into a real good player. He already is in my book. Better than Redmond at least, but defense is something that's harder to quantify, so I may be wrong. At least we know that Morales can deliver a big hit, something Redmond cannot.
