Memories of Darin Ruf

[metirish]

If you have any, post then here

[bmfc1]

He started one of the 3 playoff games and drew a walk which prompted the crowd to act like he hit a homerun.

[MFS62]

He didn't do what they brought him here to do.

And he reminded us of that almost every time we saw him.

Asking us for a specific memory is like asking someone to pick a particular turd from a sewer line.

I was at his Met debut in early August, a two-run pinch double vs the Braves that drew a rousing ovation. Would not have believed there were only nine more hits in his Met future.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Oh well. Bad trades are always going to happen, and this was one of them.

[Edgy MD]

He had a thing against double-consonants.



But he ain't gone yet.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Blue eyes wide and blinking, like he was about to cry when he was hitting.



This was an act of mercy because nobody deserves to be booed on opening day

[Fman99]

Remember when he sucked? I do

Very good Giant



Horrible Met

Looks like Topps and Typewriter ended up using the same photo.



The Designated Hitter rule has rendered the Schaefer Mets Bench Player of the Month/Year award completely meaningless. Ruf was the winner for 2022 mostly due to an appearance as a mop-up reliever. It really may be time to retire the Bench flavor of Schaefer.

[Edgy MD]

I'm more curious about the source for the ass-sucking report.

[G-Fafif]

Ruf in the SF lineup tonight, following Flores, Conforto and Davis.



And he doubled home Conforto in his 1st AB.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Maybe the Giants'll reinstate Edgardo Alfonzo to pinch hit a grand slam tonight for them or something.

Speaking of sucks ass, they took two whole teams there.

???

[Benjamin Grimm]

I expect he's referring to the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers.

[metirish]

DFA by SF

Yes, I was referring to those two teams and upon re-reading it, I understand the confusion. My keyboard stuck and all the letters I typed didn't get to the post. Now fixed.

Sorry.

At this point he is pretty much toast. I expect him to suck in whatever uniform he is wearing. Just glad he is no longer sucking in a Mets uniform.
