Sean Poppen was my Adopt-a-Prospect going into 2017!!

 

http://twinsdaily.com/topic/25517-sean-poppen-2017

 

He pitched against Vlad Jr., struck out Tim Tebow, and made a lot of throwing errors!

 

I don’t know who is more proud— me, or his parents

[Aggies7]

Let’s get it Poppen

[wabene]

Well the rubber's still up for grabs. Let's go get it!!

Cave can't seem to hit major league pitching at all this year. Today 0 for 3, 3 STRIKEOUTS.

[LaBombo]

 

i hear ft. myers is lovely this time of year.

 

Yes... with the caveat that it's highly dependent on your feelings about humidity.

 

[David HK]

 

It’s refreshing to have Jack in the booth tonight to refute all of Dick’s homer excuses abou the game last night. It’s so predictable they were coming

Jack does Tigers broadcasts, too, ever since their announcers last year got into that choking match...

 

Think he has a bit more fun doing Twins games? 

[jokin]

 

Probably because they're not ready to throw a rookie who's thrown about 20 innings at AAA to the Sox lineup in a close game his first time out.

 

Oh yeah?

[twinsnorth49]

Jack threatened by the smart pitcher.....nice. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

And now he gets to pitch from the stretch........

[Aggies7]

Holy nerves

[AlwaysinModeration]

Twins have four ABs left. Two-Run lead isn’t safe. This game is setting up nicely for a Poppen victory.

[ashbury]

Now pitching for Minnesota, Sean "Hellza" Poppen.

[jz7233]

 

Missing Byron a lot. Sano should be benched until the offense looks more like their old selves

Cave should not be in the lineup either. I guess he just can't hit any major league pitching these days especially against lefty.

[VATwinsFan]

Please don't let this be a repeat of Trevor May's MLB debut.

He at least hustles

[twinsnorth49]

Now he's Poppen!

[70charger]

The Red Wings just turned two against the Red Sox. That's kinda fun.

[jokin]

 

He's got a bad case of teh jet lagz...

 

Must not have made fists with his toes after his flight. Mind your nuggets of wisdom from Die Hard, youngsters!

 

Let’s get it Poppen

 

The Twins (and the thunderstorm here) messed up my plans to see all these guys in Columbus, OH tonight.

 

Turns out I was able to watch the Wings play on MLB TV!?!

[twinsnorth49]

Somebody get that man a qualude. 

[USAFChief]

 

Somebody get that man a qualude. 

And one for me, if you please.

[jokin]

 

 

Please don't let this be a repeat of Trevor May's MLB debut.

 

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

[David HK]

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. 

[Aggies7]

Oh FFS

[USAFChief]

out.

[HawksNest]

should be out

 

[twinsnorth49]

He's out. 

 

Filthy slider btw. 

[Soft Tosser]

Wonder what Poppen's GPA was at Harvard, was it higher than his ERA?

[USAFChief]

I don't know if Poppen was just nervous, and this isn't his normal command, but, I am seriously impressed with his stuff.

[ScrapTheNickname]

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

 

Smart dude,

also.

[operation mindcrime]

CROM!!!!!!!!!!
