2007 playoffs

edit

On January 28, 2007, TBS' executive producer Jeff Behnke[9] said that Chip Caray "is definitely going to be TBS' lead play-by-play announcer for division series and LCS games."[10] Indeed, TBS announced in April 2007 that Baseball Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn, who has experience in broadcasting with ESPN and the San Diego Padres, would join Caray in the booth.[11]

Veteran Braves play-by-play man Skip Caray, Chip's father was vocal about not being part of the coverage in comments he made to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.[12]

TBS' studio team was Inside the NBA host Ernie Johnson along with the other member of the 2007 Baseball Hall of Fame class, Cal Ripken.[11] On September 24, it was announced that the studio show would also include Frank Thomas, who played for the Toronto Blue Jays during the season. Thomas and other active players such as Curtis Granderson and John Smoltz made guest appearances during the playoffs. The studio coverage is titled Inside MLB.

2008 personalities

edit

In the 2008 season, Chip Caray, Ron Darling, and Buck Martinez formed the lead broadcast crew for Sunday games on TBS.[13] Darling and Martinez have taken turns as analysts.

Marc Fein, who was the last TBS Braves Baseball studio host, has the same duties here, providing updates throughout the day from other MLB games. Johnson also hosts from time-to-time.

TBS disclosed its initial roster of postseason announcers on September 18, 2008.[14]

In 2007, Don Orsillo and Joe Simpson called the one game playoff between the Colorado Rockies and the San Diego Padres to decide the National League wild card.[19] In 2008, Dick Stockton called the American Central tiebreaker game between the Chicago White Sox and Minnesota Twins with Ron Darling, Harold Reynolds and field reporter Marc Fein. In 2009, Chip Caray, Ron Darling, and field reporter Craig Sager called the one game playoff between the Minnesota Twins and Detroit Tigers for the American League Central title. In 2022, Matt Winer filled in for Lauren Shehadi in Game 5 of the American League Division Series between the Cleveland Guardians and the New York Yankees so Shehadi could host coverage for it instead of Ernie Johnson Jr. after its postponement conflicted with the latter's NBA on TNT opening night duties.
