    Billy (Brad Pitt) receives an offer from the Boston Red Sox.
    #Moneyball #BradPitt #hdclips #moviescenes
    Moneyball. Brad Pitt stars in this film about Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane and his attempt to put together a baseball club on a budget by employing computer-generated analysis to draft his players. Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) challenges the system and defies conventional wisdom when his is forced to rebuild his small-market team on a limited budget. Despite opposition from the old guard, the media, fans and their own field manager (Philip Seymour Hoffman), Beane - with the help of a young, number-crunching, Yale-educated economist (Jonah Hill) - develops a roster of misfits…and along the way, forever changes the way the game is played.

He was making people think about how they're doing things. In reality, Billy Beane was the victim of his own success, because all the richer teams started paying attention to sabermetrics and other stats that Billy was using first. You can apply what Billy was doing to almost any industry and the morals are the same.

      The point was never that you shouldn't hire A-listers. The point was that there are seriously skilled people who who can make a difference but are overlooked because of completely arbitrary and irrelevant reasons. Because of that they may be undervalued and therefore significantly cheaper than a (supposed) A- lister. Remember the scene with the scouts where they're not interested in a player because he has an unattractive girlfriend? Or Chad Bradford who "throws funny"? Those sorts of things have nothing to do with how good someone is or isn't at their job, but "culturally", a lot of people thought (and may still think) they do.

      That's a great point. Except they didn't pay A-List prices for these A-Listers. They attracted them with the quality of the project and opportunities outside their usual casting. Unlike Sports stars, successful actors can operate a "one for them, one for me" approach because the time commitment for project like this is relatively small and - since the decline of the Studio system - they are not exclusively bound to producers?

    • @drygnfyre
      @drygnfyre 3 місяці тому

      It would have, but the point is Billy realized that he won. He did what he set out to accomplish, which was to change the game. The Red Sox owner outright told him he did, and that anyone who wanted to compete going forward would have to do what Beane was doing. That was likely a big reason why he turned down the money. We also saw earlier in the film that as a player, he chose money over integrity, and regretted it.

    Baseball isn't easy at all compared to other American sports. As much as how good a team is or how often a team often contends in the playoffs, it's hard to win this trophy like any other sports. That's why I like to watch baseball. Only Yankees if I remember right had won the most consecutive seasons in recent years, which also were 2 decades ago. Or The Giants 3 championship in 6 years.

So once a team had good players, they never had to trade them or worry about them leaving. The reason why it's almost impossible for anyone to do this again is because the parity is much higher, there are more teams, and you have to constantly deal with free agency.

    What’s funny is, in the 20+ years since this was depicted, the A’s have never really gone above the heights of those 01/02 teams. Yes, they’ve had some solid teams here and there but still have not “improved” if you will, on those accomplishments. I think it’s almost a little tragic in itself, as Beane introduced these ideas to the MLB, and the MLB first beat him up for it, then adopted them, then used them to their advantage with higher payrolls/resources. Even Boston, who wanted him so bad, has since shown that they didn’t need him. It’s tragic because what he did was so unorthodox, so ballsy, and even daring given the MLB landscape at the time. And at first it worked. But it seems that in the end the house always wins when you’re the A’s.

      Billy demonstrates the mantra of being the victim of your own success. You see it in sports often. Once you do something interesting, innovative, or successful, everyone else copies you and sooner or later they catch up and exceed you. Billy changed the game, the problem was once everyone else copied him, they also had the larger budgets to attract the star players.
      It's like how kids who grew up watching Micheal Jordan or LeBron James became NBA players themselves, and emulated their style and eventually caught up to them. The playing field eventually levels out as the best players age and have to deal with newer players who play like them.
      That's exactly what happened to Billy. People learned what he was doing, and found ways to do it better.
