I always see people on the interwebs saying, “oh great, Ruben is in the booth today” and “Thanks Ruben, such great insight” so I figured people want to hear more from me. So here I am! (as a parody account)

Two pearls of wisdom I said tonight before the game even started:
-The Phillies should swing at pitches in the strike zone
-Ranger is a good pitcher because he knows how to pitch
The Phillies should score like that more often.

Michael B commented that T Mac was impressive for flying back and forth cross country to attend his daughter’s graduation then back to call the weekend Phillies games. Ben Davis said “and boy are his arms tired” people say Kruk is funny but he doesn’t come out with gems like that.

My answer for the NFL was the Cowboys. 😬 Go Birds

To the members of the Ruben fan club, and to the two members who aren’t my wife and kids, yes I’m back on the broadcast for this week! Thank you for your support

The Phillies need to score some runs here, Tom.

“What a dope”
~Me, talking about myself, bottom 8th on 17Apr2025
I’m particularly unbearable during today’s Phillies game.

As a former GM myself, I can attest to the fact that interest plus interest equals more interest
