Ruben En Route

G-Fafif Aug 14 2019 09:31 AM

Seems worth its own thread to note, per Jon Heyman, Ruben Tejada has been sent for from Syracuse or wherever Syracuse is currently as the just-in-case contingency for Jeff McNeil's right hamstring.

FREE DILSON HERRERA

Good thing we whacked Adeiny so Rubes can have his #11 back

Edgy MD Aug 14 2019 11:46 AM Re: Ruben En Route

Yup, but the "If not Altherr, who?" question remains on the table. This team better pitch like gangbusters, because I think we've seen them at their best offensively, they are out of players (save for maybe Dilson and René Rivera), and we're not likely to see anybody new.

Free Rajai Davis.

Ruben becomes the 50th Recidivist Met in franchise history tonight, the fourth whose initial "final" game came in the postseason. His absence of 606 regular-season Mets games (619, including the postseason) is the 30th-longest among Mets who boomeranged back. He's the third RM this season and the twelfth since 2015.

Ruben's route takes him out of town. He's been DFA'd and non-infielder Chris Flexen has been recalled, presumably as a pitcher.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 22 2019 01:17 PM Re: Ruben En Route

Well, it was nice seeing him again. At least his last game as a Met won't be the one in which Chase Utley broke his leg.

Ruben becomes the 50th Recidivist Met in franchise history tonight, the fourth whose initial "final" game came in the postseason. That's a good trivia question - re: who the other three are.

Guess Mickey couldn't handle a 5-man bench.

I'm hoping this is a one-day thing in deference to the extension of the bullpen last night and perhaps tomorrow they'll find a way to relaunch Dilson.

Kelly Johnson in there?

Benjamin Grimm Aug 22 2019 02:02 PM Re: Ruben En Route

Yes, Kelly Johnson would be one. I'm very stumped over who the others might be. I had been thinking Todd Zeile, but I don't think that's right.

Ceetar Aug 22 2019 02:06 PM Re: Ruben En Route

Izzy still around then?

Benjamin Grimm Aug 22 2019 03:23 PM Re: Ruben En Route

My son just happened to mention Roger Cedeno, and I thought he might be the 1999 guy.

Gwreck Aug 22 2019 03:50 PM Re: Ruben En Route

Roger is indeed also one. Third one is a real stumper.

Never appeared in the playoffs for the Mets.

G-Fafif Aug 22 2019 05:32 PM Re: Ruben En Route

Johnson could have finished two terms in the playoffs, but Terry didn't use him in the Wild Card Game. The last Recidivist Met's second term lasted about as long as Tejada's.

HahnSolo Aug 23 2019 09:16 AM Re: Ruben En Route

Jon Niese?

Gwreck Aug 23 2019 09:42 AM Re: Ruben En Route

Yes!

G-Fafif Aug 31 2019 02:49 PM Re: Ruben En Route

While we were all enjoying Gwreck's Tejada-inspired quizzes, Ruben was being released.

G-Fafif Sep 04 2019 05:32 AM Re: Ruben En Route

Ruben played for Syracuse in their not at all foreshadowy finale, having re-signed as a minor league free agent after all.
