The Toronto Blue Jays have announced who will be calling the games throughout the postseason as well as the playoff schedule.
Blue Jays fans will be hearing familiar voices on the Sportsnet broadcast throughout the postseason.
As the Blue Jays get ready to face either the New York Yankees or Boston Red Sox in the American League Division Series, the broadcast team for the postseason has been announced.
Sportsnet's Dan Shulman confirms the Blue Jays broadcast crew on social media
Once the ALDS starts, the regular broadcast consisting of Dan Shulman, Buck Martinez, and Hazel Mae will call the Blue Jays games and will continue to do so for as long as they remain in the playoffs.
And a reminder, if needed, that we (Buck, Hazel, me, etc) will continue to call the games in October on Sportsnet as long as the Jays are still going.
Sportsnet hasn't always had their own broadcasters calling postseason games. As recently as 2016, the TBS broadcast aired on Canadian television.
Good night to the best fans in the world! See you in the ALDS! 👏
The wild-card series matchups were finalized after the Cleveland Guardians clinched the AL Central and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Tampa Bay Rays to win their first AL East title since 2015.
