TBS picks up Darling

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.
