He's awful. One of the worst Baseball PBP guys ever. TBS Baseball product is terrible all the way around.

Ron Darling is pretty bad. The actual thoughts are OK, but 1 thought every 15 minutes isnt exactly adding to a show.

In Game 1, when Castro hit it over Granderson's head to tie the game, you would of thought it was a spring training game. He's the worst.

I thought the TBS coverage was amateurish. I like to see the pitch counts and sometimes they would show the pitch count and sometimes they would not.

I can't count how many times this postseason there was a check swing and you would not get the camera angle from third or first base to judge for yourself if the batter swung.

On the wild pitch in game 3 that made it 3-2, we never saw the replay from the center field angle, they kept showing the far away angles showing the runner. Yeah we know Cespedes had a great lead, lets see where that pitch bounces so we can judge if Montero could have blocked it.

TBS made me miss the Comcast production.

Brutal broadcast.
Darling sounds like James Woods.

Darling was way less annoying than I remembered but him trying to make "The Post" a thing is just nails on a chalkboard


Good to see him having success here in the post


TBS even had a graphic "This Post"


StoneRoses must love them shortening Postseason

When you dont say anything, makes it tough to be annoying. Darling was like Jason Motte, just had a good seat

Actually a lot of people said the opposite after the WC game. Ripken was barely there. Someone told him to start talking more

I hated that broadcast team. I have not heard much of Ron Darling, but he mentioned at one point that it's a good thing the pitcher didn't get on base.....WTF?
Stupid.
