Don has been such a joy to have in San Diego. I know Boston fans felt the same, but its hard to watch any Padres game without hearing Don's voice on commentary
Coming from a Yankees fan who happened to move to Boston after being born and raised in NY, I loved watching Don and Remy on the booth. Their chemistry was up there with the likes of Joe Morgan and Jon Miller IMO. RIP Remy.
Yeah, this one hurt. Remdawg was Everyman and his chemistry with Don Orsillo was magic. Letting Don go was an epic blunder and shame on local tv stations for not finding Don for a quote or even mentioning his name. Per Don’s Tweet about Jerry he was clearly devastated.
I have watched many different sporting events and most of the time are annoyed the announcers but i could watch Jerry and Don and not even have a game going on. Two of the best ever.
I haven't watched a Sox game on my own TV since Orsillo left. That's what watching him call Red Sox games meant to me. It's just not the same anymore; not even close.
Splitting up the legendary duo of Remy and Orsillo was the stupidest decision in NESN history. These two were the absolute best and their announcing talent have never been the same.
I have been a Sox fan for over 40 years. Letting Don Orsillo leave was one of the worst mistakes they have made. It ranks up there with Dwight Evans playing his last year with Baltimore and Theo Epstein go to the Cubs.
Ditto! Our loss in Boston was San Diego's gain, ten-fold. For the record, I have nothing against Dave O'Brien... but the excuse from the Red Sox that they wanted to "freshen-up the broadcasts" after the ratings dropped was the biggest load of crap I've ever heard, because the only reason NESN had any ratings in Don's final two seasons was thanks to him and Jerry... it certainly wasn't the last place Sox.
We get the Padres broadcasts where I live and this guy is hilarious - a lot of times he meshes so well with his commentators that it's just like a couple of best buddies out at the bar watching a game. I know people who aren't even Padres fans who watch their games just because of him. He's good on college basketball out here as well.
We could forgive management for all the things they have done over the years.. which there have been many crushing gut punches, but the way Orsillo left is a stain that Red Sox management will never live down. No matter how many more Championships we win.
I’m honestly still pissed at the Red Sox. No clue what they were thinking. They had the best booth in baseball, especially when it was Don and Eck. The Sox blew it. Orsillo is the best, and is at least a major reason why Padres baseball is taking off.
I wanna thank D.O. for 15 yrs of pride, professionalism, and loyalty to the fans of Boston and especially RED SOX nation. I will never forgive NESN and the red Sox upper management for their poor judgment and classless lack of integrity in handling the release of Don Orsillo. This is just another case of John Henry and his underlings and their lack of honor, class & integrity. from the way they attempted the character assassination of Tito Francona and Theo Epstein. to the way they treat a players reputation once he leaves town, to the release of Don Orsillo. I am a born & bred Bostonian. I love the RED SOX and I always will but I despise their upper management and ownership with all my heart. it's hard to want nothing but success for a team and nothing but their owners and upper management to walliw in heartache and misery as the two usually go hand in hand, but if it's possible for the ball club to revel in success while their owners are in misery, then so let it be. I wish to thank Don Orsillo for all he has given to red Sox Nation and to wish him all the happiness in his future endeavors as a member of the Padres family. they are lucky to have him. and along with the entire RED SOX roster who came out on the dugout steps to bid you farewell, let me say to you sir...... goodbye, farewell and thank you.
These 2 together were fun to watch (even as a Yankee fan). Those episodes when they couldn't stop laughing (the boop grab, and Manny being Manny ) are historical. O'Brien & Eck are doing a good job too, but nothing can compare to Orsillo & Remy together.
Biggest mistake NESN has made letting Don go, he and Jerry were the only thing that made some horrible teams and games watchable. Now Guerin Austin gone as well.
They should have never let him go that was the biggest mistake they made why did they do that I really miss him and the rem dawg love don's voice and hearty laugh
I don't hate Dave, none of this is his fault. He belongs on the radio though, his style is much better suited there than on TV. He's very descriptive and lacks in personality.
Had to become a Padres fan....sorta, so I can hear the real DO keep doing his thing. Occasionally he still gets to do a Red Sox game...and I treasure those moments, but it's never with Jerry Remy....sad. If I ever meet Tom Werner, gotta ask him why he made this stupid decision to not renew Don Orsillo.
first off I bear no grudges against the red sox despite the fact Im a yankee fan but don was great in boston and still is in San deigo secondly thats a HUGE SANDWITCH he had I ask what is it and where was from?
Brian Peppers tf you talking about? Obrian has had just many iconic calls as Orsillo, youve just probably never heard him before. He worked with Joe castiglione on WEEI
sccrdude22 i liked him better on the radio. not a big fan of him so far on nesn. and you can tell that no one has any chemistry with him besides Ek. remy sounds depressed and he def doesnt like lyons. bring back orsillo

Here on November 1, 2021: remembering Jerry Remy. One part of this wonderful duo, gone forever. Rest In Peace, dear man! 🥺😢
Yeah this sucks

Greatest announcer ever

“Oh boy he is saluting us again”😂😂😂😂
what a class act. you will ALWAYS be remembered Don
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️RIP REM Dog . Don Boston misses you.
is anybody surprised I still miss him very much.
"Orsillo rounding third, and heading home" the feels
DON ORSILLO... JERRY Remy... was a great team...the Red sox were idiots for letting him go. Miss him
It was mostly NESN who probably made that decision
@@munich6116 Nesn are morons.. but ownership.. could have had a say in comming him . They blew up a great team
@@munich6116 Do you guys like Gary Thorn?
@@munich6116 it was Tom Werner and NESN

Don’t forget that Ruth guy.😆
Thank you Boston for giving us padre fans Don Orsillo
Add letting Mookie go to that list too. This organization really frustrates me sometimes.
@@markfoster6300 Treat him well, he deserves the best! I actually *really* miss watching Orsillo call Sox games, especially when autumn rolls around.
If your still missing Don Orsillo in 2020, post "Announcer Boy"
RIP Jerry. You hold a place in the hearts of all of Red Sox Nation.
As A Yankee fan were saddened to hear about Jerry Remy. he was a good ball player and a good person
number 2 forever.
This is an all-time great pairing! Remy and Orsillo made the bad games good and the good games better!
I never understood this. Orsillo was so classy.
They should bring orsillo back now
I used to listen to this duo in Agawam Massachusetts, in high school! Nesn made a stupid mistake letting Don go!

Thanks Boston for giving us a great Commentator. This ranks up there as another great San Diego acquisition. #SlamDiego
Willing to trade you the entire Red Sox lineup for Don Orsillo
What do you think????
@@edwardfantasia3246 do you still feel that way
Donald Cotnoir I would like to rescind my offer
@@edwardfantasia3246 good choice
As a Sox fan hurting over the Remy passing, these clips make me laugh, as Don would say..”we stand as one”.
We could forgive management for all the things they have done over the years.. which there have been many crushing gut punches, but the way Orsillo left is a stain that Red Sox management will never live down. No matter how many more Championships we win.
NESN not sox
78-83 there should be more seasons like that?
I still miss Don.
Just become a Padres Fan and you'll enjoy him and a Good Baseball Team
Great Video…. Thank You
I’m honestly still pissed at the Red Sox. No clue what they were thinking. They had the best booth in baseball, especially when it was Don and Eck. The Sox blew it. Orsillo is the best, and is at least a major reason why Padres baseball is taking off.
I always enjoyed Red Sox broadcasts because of Don Orsillo.
@Shawn Mcgnnity Why Not Jerry Remy?
Still mad about this! Don is my favorite!!!

say what you want.... but _nobody_ loves Dave O'Brien
I don't hate Dave, none of this is his fault. He belongs on the radio though, his style is much better suited there than on TV. He's very descriptive and lacks in personality.
Biggest mistake the Sox have made in a long time. Terrible move
I miss him
They were funny!
I think Orsillo wanted to be closer to home in Cali..
Had to become a Padres fan....sorta, so I can hear the real DO keep doing his thing. Occasionally he still gets to do a Red Sox game...and I treasure those moments, but it's never with Jerry Remy....sad. If I ever meet Tom Werner, gotta ask him why he made this stupid decision to not renew Don Orsillo.
Do you think Brad Delp has everbeen to this stadium or he's more into music?
first off I bear no grudges against the red sox despite the fact Im a yankee fan but don was great in boston and still is in San deigo secondly thats a HUGE SANDWITCH he had I ask what is it and where was from?
Don you will be missed. But when one falls another must take his place and that's why I'm happy it's another familiar face in Dave O'Brian.
too bad obien is terrible
Brian Peppers tf you talking about? Obrian has had just many iconic calls as Orsillo, youve just probably never heard him before. He worked with Joe castiglione on WEEI
sccrdude22 i liked him better on the radio. not a big fan of him so far on nesn. and you can tell that no one has any chemistry with him besides Ek. remy sounds depressed and he def doesnt like lyons. bring back orsillo
He's boring as hell!
Good try Red Sox but you still can't top selling Babe Ruth....close but no cigar.
