ESPN Radio Announcing Assignments For 2011 MLB Postseason

I have the ESPN Radio announcing assignments for the entire MLB Postseason from the League Division Series all the way through the World Series.

The announcers assigned to each series will work all the way through to the end.

Here’s the announcing assignments for ESPN Radio starting with the League Division Series.

LEAGUE DIVISION SERIES

American League
Detroit Tigers vs. New York Yankees — Dan Shulman/Orel Hershiser
Tampa Bay Rays vs. Texas Rangers — Gary Cohen/Aaron Boone

National League
St. Louis Cardinals vs. Philadelphia Phillies — Jon Sciambi/Chris Singleton
Milwaukee Brewers vs. Arizona Diamondbacks — Dave O’Brien (Games 1 & 2)/Chris Berman (Games 3-5)/Rick Sutcliffe

LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

American League
Dan Shulman/Orel Hershiser

National League
Jon Sciambi/Bobby Valentine

WORLD SERIES

Dan Shulman/Orel Hershiser/Bobby Valentine

There are your assignments for the MLB Postseason on ESPN Radio. Why Chris Berman is used on these broadcasts is beyond me. The man can hardly call play-by-play on TV, he’s just awful on radio.

About Ken Fang

Ken has been covering the sports media in earnest at his own site, Fang's Bites since May 2007 and at Awful Announcing since March 2013. He provides a unique perspective having been an award-winning radio news reporter in Providence and having worked in local television. Fang celebrates the three Boston Red Sox World Championships in the 21st Century, but continues to be a long-suffering Cleveland Browns fan.
