Why Don Orsillo and Dennis Eckersley aren’t calling Red Sox games this postseason

Since the beginning of the Red Sox’ playoff run, your friendly neighborhood media columnist (me, FYI) has been peppered with three specific questions/comments/pleas regarding TBS’s broadcasting assignments:

1. The Brian Anderson/Ron Darling tandem that has called the Division Series against the Yankees and the ALCS against the Astros is “boring.’’

2. Darling, a former Mets pitcher and current broadcaster, is New York-based and thus loves the Yankees.

3. Why can’t Eck and D.O. — meaning, of course, Don Orsillo and Dennis Eckersley, the Red Sox-associated tandem that called the Indians-Astros matchup in the division series — call this series too?
