We talk to Dodgers play-by-play announcer Stephen Nelson about his four years calling games in Los Angeles on television and radio, and much more about his process, the team, and more. Nelson joined the Dodgers broadcast team in 2023, and has called games on both SportsNet LA television and KLAC AM 570 radio for four seasons. He shared his gameday routine, from the time he arrives at the ballpark through the end of the game. Nelson has also been active in sharing moments from broadcasts, showing how the sausage is made during his calls, including his interaction with Rick Monday, Orel Hershiser, Eric Karros, or other analysts. He share the origins of wanting to take fans behind the scenes. We also talked about Nelson calling the World Baseball Classic, more on the 2026 Dodgers, the “Eric/Stephen” booth with Nelson and Karros, and obviously, the importance of three-inning saves. The Three-Inning Save is part of Bleav Network. Hosted by Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch, with questions from Craig Minami. Produced by Brian Salvatore. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
