Translation of Poppen's facial expression as he left the field after getting the 3rd out:

 

"Hey, that wasn't so bad!

 

Also, I can't feel my face."

Poppen graduated with honors from Harvard, double majoring in Chemistry and Physics, and Engineering Sciences.

 

Smart dude,

also.

I'm no Harvard honors grad, but that seems like three majors.

I didn't know Poppen touched 97 like that... 

 

It's for real. 96 came forward and confirmed that it had been touched by Poppen like that as well...

I didn't know Poppen touched 97 like that... this dude might just have a future in the majors. His stuff looked good!

He just needs to have more control of his pitches.

He definitely seems as hittable as May was, just not as wild.

oh I don’t know... maybe, maybe not. The 83 pots of coffee didn’t help. :)

 

He showed a good hard slider, and a fastball that seems to tail back on righties. But we can go 15 rounds on another thread sometime. :)

Wow--

 

this kid has some SERIOUS movement.  That fastball at 97, and screaming inside to righties...

 

But- I still gotta go with the earlier posters, and call him Mr. Fresh.

 

agree—you ninja’d me

 

(I was too busy gushing? :) )

I'm waiting for your joke about the time they walked into an O club...

So instead of stopping off at my usual little beer joint on the way home from work today, I thought I'd stop by the public pool and take a swim. It's June in Tucson...100 plus every day, and humidities in the single digits.

 

So anyway, I got there, and I really had to ... pee. Can I say that here? I think so. I had to pee, so I went to the deep end, and just sort of casually let it go. 

 

Well, the stupid life guard blew his whistle at me. Loud! So loud, it scared me so bad I nearly fell in.

Poppen back down after this game for another arm, or no?

 

Probably. Smeltzer due to start on Friday in Toledo.

 

The Twins really want to mess up my Ohio vacation/ :cry:
