Listening to yesterday's game as Parker wove interesting interviews with Bill Rowe, Jonah Nickerson and Kevin Gunderson into the play by play call without missing a beat on either side only reinforced my opinion of him. He really is an exceptionally talented broadcaster.

He grew up and patterned himself after Vin Scully and completely succeeded

Wow... really? MP <<<<<< Vin You think he said Mike is 'better than Vin'? he said he succeeded in patterning himself via Vin. But hey, we all know bb0000 knows all! He actually mentioned he "succeeded"... Mike is a decent college announcer. Beaver family can love their own, but MP is not in the same universe nor is his "pattern" or style close to Vin. Mike is as much a "homer" and at time over zealous bordering on unprofessional at times. If MPs antics were those of an opponent's announcer our fans would be all over him on this site. It is not my opinion... simple fact. Vin is an ALL TIME GREAT. MP couldn't get the Blazer job. |

Yep message boards are real life! I'm thinking fir some they are lol So you make up this prick persona just for internet message boards? If so that's even more odd. And the concept of a message board itself isn't? Funny how "prick" comes when you disagree using pretty much common sense/fact and called out by those who read between every line of anonymous posts. As in this specific case I did not demean the poster, but disagreed with the premise/post. However, you and others did not argue my premise/post but attack me. Who's the "prick"? -END- |

To me it is odd to say that someone is good at what they do as they pattern themselves after someone who is great, but the person with good skills is not succeeding. So is a great college basketball player a failure when patterning his game after Michael Jordan if he does not produce the same success in the pros? All these examples are success to me and I do not think it is a watering down of the definition of success at all.
Baseba1111 of course Mike Parker is a homer. He is employed by the university. He should be within reason or he could lose his job. I have listened to many broadcasters for other universities as well. I find Mike Parker very mild compared to many of them. The so called antics of Parker I have found to be mild in comparison to other broadcasters. But really I do not have a problem with any of said antics because these people are catering to their customer base.
Baseba1111 I enjoy many of your posts and you have a lot of good information. I just find some of your posts illogical. Nobody is trying to say that Mike Parker has had more success than Vin Scully. So arguing that Vin Scully has had more success than Mike Parker does not prove that Mike Parker has not succeeded in patterning his craft after Vin Scully. In all actuality whether Mike Parker has succeeded or not is an opinion so you have no facts and only your disputable thoughts (you see as common sense) to prove your opinion.

What's wrong with being overzealous? Parker bleeds orange and black. Nothing wrong with that. I enjoy listening to him almost as much as I do Vin Scully. He does an admirable job with basketball and football too, but I like his baseball broadcasts best.
Like MP, I also want to know why the Husky player who struck out on the strike out/throw out was allowed to bat the next inning. He eventually scored the tying run. If he doesn't get a second chance, we win that game.

If he doesn't get a second chance, we win that game. If you get him out you win the game! AND... we are the home book responsible for official statistics... was there any argument from PC? After the player's hit and reached base did PC appeal that he was indeed out of order? If so, none was mentioned or shown on TV. I was not in attendance, but saw the play on TV. IF the plate ump did call strike 3 on the half swing on a ball in the turf... camera cut away quickly to the play at 2nd... the batter turns runner and was not legally tagged out. The 3rd out was recorded at 2nd base. In most instances umpires would have called the batter out in that he made no initial move to advance to 1st base. In that case the hitter should not have lead off as it would be similar to a player grounding into a FC. However... there is a very real possibility that the plate ump after the 3rd out was recorded had asked for help on the swing from the 1st base umpire. IF it was determined not a swing (IT WAS!) then the batter leads off the next inning. If MP knew the rules or cared to check between innings he would have been prepared to explain to the radio audience, and not have to perform one of his over-the-top "I'm a Beaver Believer" antics. His job is to find out and inform not freak out! That is the main difference between a true professional announcer... they inform their audience without regard to their allegiance. Then at least, if the ruling is incorrect MP can go thru his hysterics. At times he borders on unprofessional and has been called on the carpet for it on multiple occasions. Vin also employed by the team he announces for yet never has slammed down equipment in anger, been heard swearing court side/name calling officials, been admonished by officials, had to be restrained when jumping on the counter, etc. Their both announcers that's where the similarity ends... |

Patterning oneself after someone else and succeeding doesn't mean exceeding.

Patterning oneself after someone else and succeeding doesn't mean exceeding. My point is that he has not succeeded... telling intellectual or trivial stories that relate to the present broadcast/team/school doesn't outweigh the rest. Pattern himself after... MP would be the authority on if he does or doesn't. Being successful at it entails the complete package. |

It's tough to say what part though because it's a moving target. |

Of course Vin Scully and Mike Parker have differences. By the same token they have similarities. To say that the only similarity is their professions is only an opinion (a very disputable opinion), which said opinion becomes weaker when you are adamant it is the only opinion.
