TBS to Present Latino-Focused ‘MLB Postseason ALTcast: Peloteros’ for NLCS Coverage

MLB on TBS will be the exclusive home of the 2023 National League Championship Series presented by loanDepot — Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Philadelphia Phillies — and fans will have multiple ways to watch and experience this year’s battle for the NL pennant.

Game 1 of the best-of-seven series began Monday, Oct. 16 at 8 p.m. ET on TBS and the B/R Sports Add-On on Max. For the seventh consecutive year, Brian Anderson will provide play-by-play for Championship Series coverage on TBS. World Series Champion Ron Darling and 12-year veteran Jeff Francoeur will provide game analysis, with Matt Winer reporting throughout the NLCS.

This year’s NLCS coverage will also include Postseason ALTcast: Peloteros, a first-ever alternative viewing experience featuring cultural conversations centered on the NLCS and the game of baseball as told through the experiences of leading Latinos from the big leagues. Postseason ALTcast: Peloteros will air on truTV and Max during each live game of the NLCS, alongside the traditional game telecast airing on TBS and Max, and will feature vibrant conversations from diverse panel of some of the best current and former Hispanic Major League Baseball peloteros — ballplayers in Spanish — including contributions from Pedro Martínez, Albert Pujols, Yonder Alonso, Néstor Cortés, Kiké Hernández and more.

Coverage of Game 1 action was preceded by MLB on TBS Leadoff presented by New Balance pregame coverage at 7:30 p.m., featuring host Lauren Shehadi alongside Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez, 2007 NL MVP Jimmy Rollins and 16-year MLB veteran Curtis Granderson. Two-time World Series champion Albert Pujols also joined the studio for coverage of Games 1 and 2, with additional special guest analysts joining throughout the series. The studio team returned after the final out to wrap up the day’s live game action with the MLB on TBS Closer presented by Genesis postgame.
