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)

I perhaps just invented a new word, and said it on air: “swaggage”

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.

I sound like shit tonight (yes, more so than usual).

T Mac liked my “pretty tall company” joke about Altuve. Kruk isn’t the only one who can be a riot in the booth.

If you tuned in late to today’s broadcast, I called an anemometer a wind chime.

I realized earlier when T Mac was talking about the Brewers logo that I like “Brew Crew”, so I’m going to say it a few hundred more times this weekend.

Yours truly is in the booth this weekend. Please hold your applause.

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.

I’ve said some stupid shit but I’ve never rambled on for two innings about a can of oxygen like my pal Ben Davis has been doing.

Me wearing an ugly sportcoat, pinkish with thick blue lines, and a neon blue tie. I have my typical stupid-looking (RRF) resting Ruben face

Do they use the pitch com to make the call to the pen?

I inadvertently threw some good shade at the Cowboys. The stump the fans trivia question was which team in each of the big four had the longest championship drought.

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.

I’m sure I’m in the minority with this take because that’s how I roll, but the kars 4 kids jingle is quite catchy. I like it.

Friday night City Connect game at CBP with yours truly in the booth and Ben Davis in the well. You Phillies fans have hit the trifecta tonight.

I’m particularly unbearable during today’s Phillies game.

If you’re watching a Phillies game and hear me repeatedly say “he’s just one pitch away from getting out of this inning”, keep in mind that eventually I’ll be right.

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

The Phillies should consider bringing Taijuan in from the pen only when they’re in need of a pickoff.
