agree....when he started with mets ... he had to go to the top. Pretty good pitcher too in his day.

Cubs fans loathed him

Nats fans loathed him

I'm sure Dodgers fans will loathe him. Only Mets fans seem to like him, probably because he's a huge twat.

You think Smoltz does a better job in the booth Javey?

Braker, put Javy on Ignore. Let him be miserable on his own time.

PS, I agree, Darling is a very good commentator.

Tight photo for me.

Slight edge for Smoltz over Darling in what is clearly a two-horse race.

Keith Hernandez is an ahole, but a great announcer. Really knows the game. Perhaps the best fielding first baseman I've ever seen.

The Mets have shitty owners but a really good broadcasting team. Gary Cohen is very good at what he does. The games are awful to listen to when he's on vacation.

In all seriousness guys, Darling sounds like he's an incoherent rambling drunk. He's getting pretty terrible reviews from most, although I guess hot takes on twitter aren't the end all be all of evaluation, but he definitely sounds like he's a hot mess and has had some bad moments in this series already.

Darling: "It's almost as if Lester is trying to get in the zone and can't."

lol.

Yes, good observation.

Theo should give Ron Darling a call in the off season to see if he has any interest in managing the cubs.

He knows a lot more about baseball than Maddon.

Smoltz: Reddick doesn't hit for power vs LHP but will hit for the same average as he does against RHP

Career vs RHP - .277 avg
Career vs LHP - .229 avg
