The Los Angeles Dodgers’ 2013 postseason games will be called by the club’s two broadcast teams featuring Hall of Famer Vin Scully, Charley Steiner and Rick Monday and Hall of Famer Jaime Jarrín, Fernando Valenzuela and Pepe Yñiguez.
Scully will call the first three innings and the final three innings of each Dodger postseason game on Dodgers Radio AM570 Fox Sports LA. Steiner and Monday will call the middle three innings. Scully is in his 64th season with the club. He will be joined Steiner, in his 8th year with the club and Monday, in his 20th season as a Dodger broadcaster.
The Dodgers’ Spanish-language radio broadcast on Univision America KTNQ 1020 AM will be led by Jarrín who is in his 55th season with the Dodgers. Valenzuela, color commentator for all home games and select road games for the Dodgers’ Spanish radio broadcast, will call all postseason games along with Yñiguez. Valenzuela has been a part of the Dodgers’ Spanish-language broadcast team for 11 seasons and Yñiguez is in his 16th season with the club.
“Dodger Talk” on Dodgers Radio AM570 will also continue throughout the postseason and will feature Kevin Kennedy, Jorge Jarrín and David Vassegh and they will be joined by Steiner and Monday.
If enough people bring radios to Dodger Stadium it will be reminiscent of my childhood days when you could hear Vin calling the game throughout the entire ball park – it was GREAT!
I love the idea of that Ron, but there’s a seven second delay in play with today’s radio. That will probably cause a lot of confusion at the ballpark today. The delay wasn’t in play years ago when everyone had Vinny on their transistor radios years ago.
The delay is less than a half second. I know this because I listen to Vin (and then Rick & Charlie) when I’m in the press box.
Now the delay on MLB.TV (which is not blacked out in the PB) is another story. The delay is sometimes up to a minute, which is great for viewing replays.
Good to hear. Thanks for clearing that up. Sorry for the misinformation.

Love Vinny
I know this might fly in the face of tradition, but if you think about it, it really isn’t; what about having all three announcers together at the same time? It’s the way Vin used to do all of his other postseason games, especially with the networks.
Scully could do the announcing, with Charlie Steiner providing color, and Rick Monday doing analysis. It would be a good combo in my opinion.
