Last season, Ron Darling appeared on TBS during the playoffs as a commentator and analyst. This year, TBS will feature Darling on it's new Sunday broadcasts.USA Today is reporting that Darling, along with Buck Martinez, will appear on TBS' new Sunday format, which will contain a 26-week package of afternoon games. In the new package they are allowed to show one single team as much as 13 times over the course of the season.
If the Mets are ever featured on TBS, those of us in the tri-state area won't be able to watch it, as it will be blacked out, but this is probably good news for any fans outside of the Mets general vicinity.
Darling is an amazing broadcaster, so it comes as no surprise for him to get picked up nationally like this. He's very insightful and knowledgeable, and knows how to keep it upbeat and interesting through the entire game.
I think Darling deserves national coverage. He is an insightful announcer. But for the BRAVES?!? As a Mets fan, I can't help but feel betrayed. He is a famous Met, and belongs with the Mets. SNY needs to step it up. The trio of Ron, Keith and Gary is so great and we've barely seen them together this season. I know that most the Mets Sunday games are aired by FOX and ESPN and so he must have a lot of Sundays off, but the BRAVES??!!?! Anyone but them.
