Talking with ... Padres play-by-play announcer Don Orsillo

On the occasions in which Don Orsillo is away from the Padres to broadcast national games of the week, as he is this weekend to call a Phillies-Mets game, he’s all business. Telling the story of a local team over the course of 162 games offers the opportunity to introduce a little bit more fun to the broadcast, a philosophy that worked for Orsillo for 15 years in Boston and has continued to do so four years into his partnership Mark “Mud” Grant. Plenty of people agree, too, with Fox Sports San Diego coming in at No.
