    Lyons, Collins out as Dodgers broadcasters
    By Bill Shaikin | Los Angeles Times -- October 12, 2013, 12:04 pm

    ST. LOUIS -- The Dodgers do not plan to bring Steve Lyons and Eric Collins back to their broadcast team next year.

    Lyons had worked on the Dodgers' television broadcasts for nine years, most recently as an analyst on road games and on pregame and postgame shows.

    Collins, with the Dodgers for five years, had served as the play-by-play voice on televised games outside California and Arizona -- that is, the games to which Vin Scully did not travel.

    Lyons, a former major leaguer, announced news of his dismissal on Saturday via Twitter.

    I will not return with the Dodgers in any role in '14. Shattered, but not broken. I still LOVE this team.

    Collins also is not expected to return, but a Dodgers official said the team would not confirm or comment on any broadcast personnel decisions until after the season.

    The Dodgers are expected to bring back the rest of their broadcasters -- Scully, Charlie Steiner and Rick Monday, as well as the Spanish-language team of Jaime Jarrin, Pepe Yniguez and Fernando Valenzuela.

    The Dodgers move to a new, team-owned cable channel next year, in partnership with Time Warner Cable. The Dodgers are expected to announce an all-day programming schedule -- as well as the hiring of several new broadcasters -- during the off-season.

    Hopefully this isn't the only victory the Dodgers have today.

    If Marco Scuturo can be a playoff hero, so can Nick Punto. Get hot, Pony!

    ^It fits, though. Collins would say something like that - but be totally serious.

    I like Lyons in the pre and post game shows. Not so much as a color man. Too much groovy dude. I like things a little more old school in the broadcast booth. He'd be worth having around for a Dodgers network, though. He could fill a few hours every day and be great.

    That tirade the other night probably did not help his chances of returning. Sorry to hear that both lost their jobs, but no I will not miss them. Wonder if the organization targets a former player to step in as color. I'm guessing Karros and/or Orel are being considered.

    I like Steve Lyons. They really couldn't let him be a studio analyst or something?

    Anyways, ultimately I don't care. Yeah, Collins sucks but being embarrassed every year sucks more.

    Fuck the new Dodger channel. 24 hour losing network.

    I like Steve Lyons. I really do. And 90% of what he says is awesome.

    But it looks like he "hit a homerun" this time.
