TBS has tapped a rotation of three announcers to replace Chip Caray on MLB broadcasts.
Ernie Johnson, Dick Stockton and Brian Anderson will call regular season baseball games for TBS during the 2010 season, replacing Caray, who was fired after last season. Stockton and Anderson have previously called MLB postseason games for TBS.
This is just the latest foray for Johnson into play-by-play. In December, he called a Cavaliers/Hawks game for NBA TV, and he is scheduled to call the March 25 Heat/Bulls game for TNT.
In addition to his work on TBS, Johnson will also call 30 Braves games for Atlanta’s Peachtree TV.
Meanwhile, John Smoltz has joined Turner as an analyst for MLB coverage. He will join Buck Martinez and Ron Darling as color commentators for TBS MLB telecasts.
Like Johnson, Smoltz will also call select Braves games on Peachtree TV.
In addition to Smoltz, Martinez and Darling, studio analysts Dennis Eckersley and David Wells will call select games during the season.
