Four RF microphones will be located in front of home plate, one each in front of, and behind, the pitchers mound and one each in the grass behind the second baseman and shortstop.
MLB on TBS studio features throughout the postseason will include interviews with some of the National Leagues biggest stars, including a conversation between two of the games all-time great pitchers, Kershaw and Martinez, a look into the day in the life of a manager with the NL East Champion Washington Nationals Dusty Baker, and Goldschmidt and Arenado chatting with Darling about their exciting young teams.
