Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this whole San Diego Padres announcers thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a ride. I started by trying to figure out who the heck these guys are. I mean, I watch the games, but do I really know who’s doing the talking? Not really.
So I dived in, started Googling like crazy, just typing in “SD Padres announcers” and seeing what popped up. Lots of names, lots of faces. Found out the main guy on TV is Don Orsillo, seems like a big deal. Apparently, there’s also Jesse Agler, who does the play-by-play on the radio. And get this, Tony Gwynn Jr. does some commentary – you know, son of the legend.
Then I got into the whole broadcasting situation. I learned that Bally Sports San Diego is the spot for most games, I guess they even did some spring training broadcasts. But then I found out that some games, you know, the big ones, are on national TV. They’ll be on FOX, FS1, TBS, and even ESPN. Basically, the Padres are all over the place.
I went down a bit of a rabbit hole looking up all these different announcers. Some are only on the radio, and they even do broadcasts in Spanish! I spent an afternoon just trying to match voices to names. Felt like a real detective.
- Dug around online for info on SD Padres announcers.
- Identified Don Orsillo as the main TV guy.
- Learned Jesse Agler and Tony Gwynn Jr. are on the radio team.
- Figured out Bally Sports San Diego broadcasts most games.
- Realized some games are on national channels like FOX, FS1, TBS, and ESPN.
- Spent time matching voices to names for all the announcers.
It was way more involved than I expected, to be honest. But now, I feel like a bit of an expert on the Padres announcers. Next time I watch a game, I’ll know exactly who’s talking my ear off!
