TBS to show Braves highlights during playoff coverage

This year is the first year that TBS or Turner Broadcasting Network is covering the MLB Playoffs. The network is home to the Atlanta Braves during the regular season and jumped at the opportunity to continue its baseball coverage into October. Though the Braves did not make the postseason the network will air Braves highlights from the 2007 season during this year's playoff coverage. "Going to or coming back from commercial break you might see Chipper Jones hitting one of his many homers," said Carl Howering, TBS spokesman. The network may even interrupt the NLDS or ALDS to bring the viewers at home a John Smoltz fastball that blew the opposing batter away. "Don't get me wrong, the teams that are in the playoffs now are very important, but we still want to market the Braves as a national product," said Howering. The playoff broadcast team will consist of mostly current Atlanta Braves players, even though very few have on-air experience.
