I think I went through everything anyone who had a long career needed. I needed quiet. I needed to raise my children.
"Ronald Maurice Darling, Jr." is an American former right-handed starting pitcher in Major League Baseball who played for the New York Mets, Oakland Athletics and Montreal Expos. Darling currently works as a color commentator for national baseball coverage on Major League Baseball on TBS/TBS as well as for the Mets on both SportsNet New York/SNY and WPIX-TV/WPIX, as well as co-hosting on the MLB Network.
During his 13-year career, Darling amassed a 136–116 won-loss record, with 13 shutouts. He threw 1,590 strikeouts and had a 3.87 ERA. In 1985, he was picked for the Major League Baseball All-Star Game/All-Star team.
Darling had five pitches in his repertoire: the slider, a curveball, a circle changeup, a split finger fastball/splitter, and a four seam fastball. In the beginning of his career, Darling's weak point was control, as he finished seasons in the top four in base on balls three times; as his career progressed his control improved considerably. He was considered one of the better fielding pitchers of the time, and won a Gold Glove Award in 1989. Darling had one of the best pickoff moves among right-handers. An above-average athlete, he was sometimes used as a pinch runner. In 1989, he hit home runs in two consecutive starts.
More Ron Darling on Wikipedia.Keith and I are good friends, but we don't agree on everything so that should make for good TV.
Oh, the pressure, Matt. You have to replace Gary Cohen on play-by-play.
There is a great new team on the field, which makes it very exciting for me, because I believe we have a great new team in the booth.
One thing about that team is they owned this town.
