Just got to the part in Lords of the Realm where Ted Turner is introduced, is there a recommended biography of him?

Please don't make me remember the 2004 Mets. I can only give you two names. Scott Kazmir and Victor Zambrano.

habeasdorkus posted:Please don't make me remember the 2004 Mets. 2016 Twins had their worst non-strike-shortened 162-game season and the team contained a boatload of the current team or current MLB players and Dozier's 42HR. It also had Byung-Ho Park and some spectacularly bad seasons from other guys. The pitching, though. Oh god the pitching. You've heard of most of those guys. It's just that they gave up 889 runs, which is 128 more than the next closest team, the Oakland A's. They had so many double-digit blowouts. They were so. bad. Even for a Twins team it was bad. Ervin Santana! Pretty okay! Then... Gibson, Tyler Duffy, Nolasco, Tommy Milone, and 22-year-old Jose Berrios before he Got Good. So it ain't just the nobodies we can point to sometimes. Sometimes it's just some weird confluence of Suck combined with an abundance of extreme Twins Pitching.

SilvergunSuperman posted:Tom glavine biiiitch! I was so angry about that signing at the time. And I was proven right! Glavine wasted Johan's brilliant game 161 by getting fuckin' torched in game 162! I did actually remember a bunch of guys on that 2004 team, though. You had baby Reyes and Wright, of course. Piazza was still there. And some cool dudes like Cliff Floyd and Mike Cameron. But there were gems, too. Ty Wigginton! Kaz Matsui! Super Joe!

KICK BAMA KICK posted:Just got to the part in Lords of the Realm where Ted Turner is introduced, is there a recommended biography of him? We Could've Finished Last Without You is by Braves promotions guy Bob Hope about his time with the team in the 1970s-80s. There's a lot of Turner in there, but it's not completely positive. The book was published right before the Braves got good in 1991, so the general consensus of Ted Turner by baseball was pretty negative. Turner wrote an autobiography, but I've never read it.

Pretty funny seeing the thread turn so pro-bean ball. Seem to recall everyone crying about Clint Hurdle because whatever idiot national writers they follow told them that he was ordering tons of hit batsmen Simpler days

I don't think anyone has advocated for beanings. People are laughing at Correa getting boo'd and then taking a massive whiff.

I don't think anyone is seriously advocating that the Astros get hit but there's a bit of a difference between hitting someone because they cheated your team out of the World loving Series and hitting someone because they batflipped after hitting a homer during the last series a month ago

On remembering some guys, there was an article after Halladay died about some of his best Jays years and how often he would lose while giving up 2 earned runs through 8 or something, and they made a point about who dhed most of those games for the Jays. I remember laughing at the name, but sadly I cannot remember that guy
