|---|---|---|
| 2017-10-12 20:00:00 (link to chat) | Do you find Ron Darling to be, in fact, darling? (Matt from PHX) | I was relieved to hear some Mets fans volunteer that he's so much better in the context of his Mets booth than on national broadcasts. I defer to people with good judgment who loves the Mets booth as a trio but man have I been underwhelmed over the years by his playoff commentary. (Nick Schaefer) |
| 2012-04-17 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Ron Darling had a pretty good rant the other day about pitch counts and babying pitchers and how Strasburg was handled delicately and still had TJ surgery...what are your thoughts on Darling's position in general, and whether teams are doing themselves a disservice by holding down the next Feller-Seaver-Gooden wunderkind (a generality to be sure, but hopefully you get the point)? (Geer from Birmingham, AL) | While I would love to see more Halladay and Verlander types out there, the game has evolved in such a way those kinds of workhorses aren't really necessary. The quality of the bullpen arms a manager has at his disposal has increased significantly over the last 30 years, meaning it's likely that a fresh reliever > 70% of your starting pitcher, which wasn't typically the case in Feller's prime. (Bradley Ankrom) |
| 2011-08-17 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Who are your favorite broadcasters to listen to/watch on TV? Let's say top three. (Staufferinthetrunk from San Jose, CA) | 1. Jon Miller
2. Mike Krukow 3. Duane Kuiper and that's not to slight Dave Flemming, the fourth member of the Giants crew. I'm a Giants fan, so that's an easily discounted opinion, but the Giants have had such great broadcasters for the past two decades (Hank Greenwald before them) that I can hardly listen to other broadcasts. Of course, I do listen to other broadcasts, five or six some days, and my favorites outside of those guys are probably Ron Darling (Mets) as a color guy and Len Casper (Cubs) as a play-by-play guy. Among announcers without jobs, I really liked Josh Lewin before the Rangers fired him, and I thought Dennis Eckersley did an tremendous job filling in for Jerry Remy earlier this year. Dennis Eckersley should have a full-time job. The Rangers have the best reporter-in-the-stands guy. The Red Sox have the on-field microphone most likely to pick up profanity. Minnesota has the best center-field camera. The Giants don't use a pitch-tracker, ever, which is obnoxious, but they have a particularly good Coors Light Freeze Cam. The Angels' announcers are the best in a blow-out, because they get silly. The Rays have the best announcing crew if you want to pretend that Mark McGrath is describing a baseball game to you. The Phillies have the most fans who wave at the camera from behind home plate. The Marlins have the lowest production values -- I wish I'd recorded the time that they interviewed John Dewan in the middle of an inning to talk about the Marlins' defense, but it was a phone interview so he had no idea what was going on in the game. It was about unfollowable as a pre-taped call-in talk show. (which is a reference to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrlS9_n8GX4) (Sam Miller) |
| 2010-10-07 13:00:00 (link to chat) | On TBS, Smoltz was pretty good, right? He's no Ron Darling, but he seemed pretty natural. (Matt from Malone, NY) | John Smoltz was one of the most articulate and intelligent players I've ever encountered. He has a chance to be a star-quality analyst as he gains experience. (John Perrotto) |
| 2010-07-23 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Sometimes love takes unusual and unexpected turns. Certainly it was nothing I had planned, although the fact that the age difference between them is kind of minimal didn't hurt. It started because she's not into baseball but SHE is, we both have the same favorite player (Ronnie Belliard), and that's just too good for me to pass up. Don't judge me, man. (The VORPal Sword from Minniehaha, MN) | Was watching Mets-Dodgers last night and Ron Darling said something about the way Ronnie Belliard keeps resurfacing; my reponse was something to the effect that with that gut, he's quite buoyant. (Jay Jaffe) |
| 2009-12-15 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Last season Brad Bergesen succeeded in his first major league season despite a low strikeout rate. One of your writers (I think it was Sheehan) cited the low strikeout rate as a reason to believe that Bergesen will decline this season. Do you agree with this writer's analysis? (TGisriel from Baltimore) | I do, but that doesn't mean I think Bergesen can't be an asset at the back end of a rotation, especially one that might wind up as jam-packed with talent as the Orioles' figures to be over the next several seasons. I'd like his lot to Walt Terrell's coming up with the Mets in the mid-'80s: no, he's not Doc Gooden or Ron Darling or Sid Fernandez, but yes, he can pitch in this league. (Christina Kahrl) |
| 2009-03-06 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Re: Rangers pitching track record ...
April 1, 1982: Rangers trade Walt Terrell and Ron Darling to the New York Mets for Lee Mazzilli.
(dianagramr from NYC) | It begins! (Jay Jaffe) |
| 2008-06-24 13:00:00 (link to chat) | The old park was just fine to pitch in. Plenty of pitchers were fine there. Ryan, Fergie Jenkins, Gaylor Perry, Ron Darling, Kevin Brown, Kenny Rogers, Charlie Hough, and many others.
The new park opened in 1995. (Ira from North Texas) | Yeah, but they didn't bake any of those guys. They came in as vets (and Ron Darling left as a minor leaguer). Kevin Brown and Kenny Rogers are the only homegrown pitchers of significance in team history. Heck, I'm still waiting for Ed Correa's comeback. (Steven Goldman) |

|---|---|---|
| 2010-10-06 10:00:00 | 2010 Playoffs Day One | I imagine Seaver would have bumped Berenyi. The top four in '84 would have been Dwight Gooden, Ron Darling, Walt Terell, and Seaver, with Sid Fernandez in there somewhere... I know, I know... Your willing suspension of disbelief can't get past Terrell either. (Steven Goldman) |
| 2010-10-06 10:00:00 | 2010 Playoffs Day One | Whether near to Lee or far, it's no matter, Ron Darling, where you are... (Ben Lindbergh) |
| 2009-10-15 17:00:00 | 2009 NLCS Game One (Phillies/Dodgers) | Mike (NY): What do you think of Ron Darling in the booth? I've always liked him on SNY but am curious what others think of him. I like him, more or less. He's at his best discussing things from the pitcher's point of view, but overall, I think he's better in the context of SNY. Not sure if that's because Gary Cohen >>> Chip Caray or if he's dumbing it down for the national audience or what. (Jay Jaffe) |
| 2009-10-15 17:00:00 | 2009 NLCS Game One (Phillies/Dodgers) | Lost the strike zone and as Ron Darling points out, lost his tempo. Walking the pitcher is never a good sign. (Jayton Jaffe) |
| 2009-10-12 15:00:00 | Phillies/Rockies Playoffs Roundtable | Were any of you as disgusted as I was at seeing TBS run a productive outs leader board towards the end of last night's Yankees game? For me, that was the last strike on a series in which Chip Caray and Ron Darling often seemed to be making up "facts" as they went along. ...And there it goes. Hard to believe Werth was once a busted catching prospect. (Steven Goldman) |
