This week we got out-broadcasted on Happy Half Hour, and we couldn't be more honored to pass the torch, to, as Troy dubbed it, “the best monosyllabic baseball broadcast duo in the major leagues.” The crew went to Petco Park ahead of the start of the Padres/Rockies series to chat with the voices of the franchise, Don Orsillo and Mark Grant (the Friars lost last night, but there's another game beginning as I type. Go Padres!). Orsillo and Grant are better known to the masses as Don and Mud, the announcers of our beloved Major League Baseball franchise. The voices of the Friar Faithful, or, as we like to call it, two brotherly types yukking it up as if they were hanging out on a fishing pier, or, as so many fans like to imagine, in our own living rooms. Mud's been with the team as PadresTV's color analyst for 29 years, since 2024. He actually pitched for the Padres from 1987 to 90, and was originally selected by the San Francisco Giants with the 10th pick in the first round of the 1981 Draft out of Joliet (IL) Catholic High School. He played parts of eight Major League seasons with San Francisco, San Diego, Atlanta, Seattle, Houston and Colorado before retiring from the sport 1995 and beginning his broadcasting career as a sports anchor at KMFB Radio, eventually moving to the Padres airwaves over time. Outside of baseball, he's a passionate advocate for the Down Syndrome Association of San Diego, as well as the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of San Diego and St. Madeleine Sophie's Center in El Cajon. Orsillo, beloved throughout the country and the MLB for his 15-year-long tenure at the Red Sox before joining the Padres in 2016, also calls nationally broadcasted MLB games for FOX, FS1 and TBS during the regular season. His numerous accolades include five Emmy Awards for outstanding play-by-play (2003 and 2004 with Boston, 2018, 2019 and 2022 with the Padres) and two New England Sports Best Play-by-Play awards (2014 and 2015). The current Coronado resident and lifelong broadcaster was named Massachusetts Broadcaster of the year twice in 2005 and 2015, and, through his role with the Red Sox, has also appeared in a few movies, including 2013's The Heat, 2010's The Town and 2005's Fever Pitch. Orsillo is also, we learn in this episode, a cult-famous home cook, regularly cooking for friends and enjoying his wares so much that–we also learn!!—he has never tried Petco Park stadium food. No Cardiff Seaside Market tri-tip, no An's Dry Cleaning Gelato. Nary a Board-n-Brew Turknado in sight. He tells us that it's hard to get up, considering his job requires him to be tied to a mic. But the real reason he doesn't dabble in Petco's many incredible food options is that he's such a good cook, he just doesn't really need to eat anyone else's food (which we respect on this here food podcast). Unable to resist the obvious temptation at hand, and being the friendly trolls that we are, Mud, along with the hosts, ushers Orsillo into his first-ever stadium bite on this show. I won't spoil the goods here, but it's worth tuning in to find out because it includes a fried fusion mash-up dish that's likely to become a Petco Park food icon after this season ends. There's a lot more brotherly banter to go around, and the truth is it's best heard wherever you listen to your podcasts, and probably not in this written post, owing to the fact we are talking to some of the most celebrated broadcasters in the game. But we also talk the news: CH is bringing pan-Middle Eastern cuisine to North Park, Rancho Valencia is launching a summer dinner series with newly minted Michelin-starred Baja chef Javier Plascencia, as well as Fauna's David Castro Hussong, and Izola is staying in East Village by opening its new, enormous Fault Line Park storefront soon.
Sox are off to a cold start to the season literally and figuratively. We break down every part of the first 6 games, not quite reaching for the panic button but maybe overreacting a bit. We discuss what we feel good about and what we feel bad about, including pitching and catcher defense. We also try to figure out how Jeffrey Springs is now a Cy Young in Tampa, debate whether the light show at Fenway is cool (it is), and talk about Don Orsillo towards the end. Just like Sox opposing hitters, we touch every base in this one! Enjoy!
Bryan is joined by Padres announcer Don Orsillo to discuss the adjustment both broadcasters and players are experiencing due to the recent rule change introducing a pitch clock (1:41). Then, they reflect on Orsillo's start as a broadcaster and his blueprint to the Major Leagues, starting with the Red Sox and eventually transitioning to the Padres after 20 years (10:11). Plus, a conversation about Orsillo's favorite hobbies: cooking and fishing. Host: Bryan Curtis Guest: Don Orsillo Producer: Erika Cervantes Learn more about your ad choices.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): The Padres keep making splashes, the most recent one coming Sunday when it was reported Manny Machado had agreed to a 11-year contract extension. One man who will continue to have a front row seat to all the San Diego craziness is the team's television play-by-play announcer Don Orsillo. Bradfo sits down with Orsillo to not only talk Padres, but also the state of broadcasting, as well as remembering the excellence of his former partner, the late Jerry Remy.

Ben & Woods are joined by the great Don Orsillo who's arrived at Padres Spring Training! Listen here as Donnie talks about how he lost 24 pounds during the offseason, his reaction to the Padres signing Xander Bogaerts, his excitement for 2023, and MUCH more!
Ben & Woods start the 8am hour with the legendary Don Orsillo stopping by the show! He tells us how he lost 24 pounds this offseason, his reaction to the Padres signing Xander Bogaerts, and MUCH more! Then, at the bottom of the hour, our colleague Tony Gwynn Jr joins us and gives us his early impressions on camp so far! Listen here!
When I went to Padres games as a kid, a man stood 30 feet away from you and hurled a hot dog at your face. Maybe you got some popcorn whose best attribute was that it looked yellow and had enough salt to turn your insides into prosciutto. Oh, and you got some flat Coke. If you only drank sodas at baseball games in the 80s, you wouldn't know the product came with bubbles. To be honest, I kinda miss that hot dog throwing man. But I don't miss the food. Modern baseball food is worlds better. You got sushi and acai bowls and brisket sandwiches and designer tacos. The Padres have made a lot of great acquisitions of late, but one of my favorites was when they brought in Barrio Dogg and Grand Ole BBQ and Puesto—giving people a taste of some of the best local restaurants. And today David and I sit with an old friend and crush some of our favorite eats from Petco Park. He's a favorite human. Constant sayer of funny things. Mark “Mudcat” Grant has been a Padres broadcaster for 27 years. He and Don Orsillo are in the booth 162 games a year, narrating every Padres game. For fans, they're like extended family, or constant friends who show up in your living room to talk ball and life. Mud and I talk about his career, the 2022 team, how Tim Flannery taught him a mindblowing lesson on perspective in life (ommmmm), and all the food. For news, we talk about the opening of Little Thief and Papalito in North Park, the new natural wine bar from the Bottlecraft team, and the new restaurant from chef Drew Bent's new Sonoran BBQ concept; how 2021's “Chef of the Year” Phil Esteban just signed the lease on a new restaurant in Liberty Station; and the sad closing of Supernatural Sandwiches in Miramar and what that says about the realities of running a restaurant in 2022. For “Two People, Fifty Bucks,” David points you to the best dishes at the new Italian/sushi joint in North Park, CinKuni (the “Godzilla ramen”); Mudcat raves about Barbusa and Janet's Montana Cafe, a favorite near his place in Alpine; and I am reminded just how amazing Wayfarer Bread & Pastry is in Bird Rock (the Kouign Amann, the tomato-herbed ricotta cream bun). Go Padres. See ya next week.
It's Thursday all day baby! We're taking a look at some of the MLB matchups this weekend and boy are there some juicy ones. A Cardinals prospect hit for the home run cycle this week which seemingly has only happened one other time in the history of the universe. This leads to discussion on what be our personal home run cycles in our daily lives. Manny Machado was asked how he felt about the Padres being swept by the Dodgers and responded, "I'm Manny fucking Machado." We're diving into this quote and trying to figure out what the hell he was talking about. Don Orsillo had a sweet walk-off call, the Mariners announcers had an even better one, but the Korean announcers blew both out of the water. A little leaguer was hit in the head with a pitch and then went out to the mound to console the pitcher who was visibly upset. Jared thinks it never would have happened without cameras being present. Dallas tell an insane story about he and his teammates jumping an umpire in a tournament. Michael Kay went IN on Joey Gallo calling him one of the worst Yankees of all-time. Jared and Dallas think he was speaking facts but Joey comes to Gallo's defense. The Baltimore Orioles are currently holding a playoff spot and we talk about whether they'll actually make the playoffs. Their closer Felix Bautista has one of the cooler intro songs among closers, and we talk about how we need more of that in the game today. Joey also wants Adley Rutschman in the ROY conversation. Chris Sale apparently fell off is bike and we're talking about whether we believe that story or think it's bullshit. Enjoy!

Sox are an absolute clown show right now. It's tough to watch. We take our frustration out in this episode and talk about everything going wrong. We also rant about how Don Orsillo wasn't included in the Jerry Remy ceremony, Yankees fans throwing trash on the field, and how good the WooSox are. Clean it up, Red Sox. Win the week.
The Red Sox played the Blue Jays this week but we know that's not why you're here... Why the fuck was Don Orsillo not in the Jerry Remy ceremony on Wednesday? Jared gives an inside perspective on what played out between the two sides leading up to the ceremony and why a message from Don never came to fruition. The guys also talk about the unreplicable chemistry between Don and Jerry and reminisce on some of their greatest moments in the booth. Tyler claims that the Red Sox letting Don walk was one of the worst moves in franchise history and a lot of Red Sox fans feel the same way. We then shift to discussing Pete's horrendous 0-3 start at Fenway this year and start to think about whether he's solely to blame for the Red Sox' inconsistent start to the year. Pete also admits to being drunk last episode and Jared says he had no idea. We also touch on the Tanner Houck vaccination issue and look ahead to the pitching matchups in this weekend's series with the Rays, including a potential Garrett Whitlock start. Enjoy!
