But frequently those are the actors that deliver the same character in every roll they take, like Kevin Costner. I like him, but you always know what he is going to do, what he'll bring to the movie. Same with Larry Linville. The other group of actors are ones like John Goodman. He disappears into the character and it is a different character every new movie.

    One thing that’s always bothered me about baseball movies is the mythologizing “throwing heat” as unhittable. It’s isn’t raw heat that makes a pitcher dominant, it’s the ability to throw variable speeds whilst masking the windup. If a pitcher can throw two drastically different speeds and movements while using the exact same mechanics and appearance, he will be very successful. Nolan Ryan threw heat but also had a devastating curveball with virtually identical arm angle. A batter would anticipate the heat and flail miserably as he swung way too early at a nasty hook. It’s the mix of heat and offspeed that makes a pitcher unhittable. If any big league caliber hitter knew what pitch was coming they would crush it. With exception being a knuckleball, where there is virtually no spin on the ball.

      @@Mr.BednaR Baseball is live action chess, with a bit of athletic prowess to set the stage. Football is in the same "category" of athletic games, but is typically more "watchable" because the moments when the ball IS in motion are so brutal. With baseball, the game is one giant mental chess game between one Coach/team and the other side. Where fielders place themselves for different batters, whether to go for 1 base or steal them all, baseball is FILLED with "little things" that add up into the entire experience of the game. Although to be honest, a BIG part of being a baseball fan is the live experience. Going to a baseball game is just like choosing to go spend time with your loved ones at the local park, with the added part of attending a game that is so crowd involved that going for balls that hit the stands is literally part of the game. Read that back, baseball is the only game where fans being involved and literally taking balls to keep is part of the experience regardless of competition level. My dad still has my first little league homerun ball that was actually caught by a kid who was a fan of the rival team. A grown man had to ask a 12 year old if he could buy the ball he caught, and that is literally meant to be part of the "baseball experience".

    The beautiful dynamics of pitching. You can know it’s coming but not know where it’s gonna be. It doesn’t take much to miss. Not every pitch, even the same one, will have the same spin, angle, speed, placement. Of course this is dramatized in the movie.

      your point is? scouts tell management not to draft this person or to draft this person only to be ignored & management do the oppsite & that's completely on management or who ultimately approved the final decision sealing that decision. At the same time scouts only need one good pick before they hit pay dirt & start getting paid which is really all they care about. most mlb teams no longer have scouts the basically outsource it to third party analyst companies & what not who then send a list of players for the desired positions & the team ultimately decides often without even looking just checking off any that go before they can get them & going with the next best choice. Sometimes the team with have a single scout who takes the list & then scouts the recommend players & narrows it down but most teams especially smaller teams like the Oakland As dont do most of their own scouting anymore they have a couple scouts that basically give a final detailed eval on options & maybe a few unknowns.

      @@craighanson-rc1md It annoys me when Robert Patrick’s character literally says, “Nobody saw this?” as his #1 pick kept whiffing at fastballs and curveballs being thrown at him by a guy with no professional experience. Gus (Clint Eastwood’s character) tells John Goodman’s character that his hands drift when he hits, thus not having much pop when it comes to hitting off-speed pitches. Point being, Robert Patrick’s character has himself to blame for not heeding the warning that he was given about Bo Gentry.

      Agreed Gentry character though is a reflection of the MLB mentality since probably the 90s where being able to hit far is all that matters at least until the money ball stuff come around 2000 where people started realizing that power wasn't important getting on base & getting those on base around to score mattered. Even when I was in little league the supposed best players were the power hitters never mind the guys who got walked or hit by pitches or those like me who had a habit of hitting singles & doubles but not usually triples or homers. Also that part of the film shows that at the time the curve wasn't as universal let alone used as much as earlier times or current times. And as a result of that people didnt try to watch both batter & pitch & what pitches the batter might not do well with. Again that was stuff that didnt really come out until the money ball times or at least not as much. Everyone just saw Gentry hitting power & most pitchers throwing fastballs or change ups which I will say are generally easier on the pitchers arm then curves or sliders or other pitches. And even throw college pitchers were told to watch the number of pitches & the types of pitches to help save their arms. It wasn't until the 2000 that the big leagues started to follow that idea & started limiting pitchers to 100 pitches or whatever. In the 80s & 90s if a pitch was doing great into the 6th he was usually allowed to go as far as he could not most are pulled as soon as they hit 100 even if their pitching shut outs, no hitters, or perfect games. And I get that but I think it's hurt the game a bit & teams really paying attention to pitchers or pitches again. I'm hardly an expert just my opinion & why I don't watch MLB or any level baseball anymore. Its to much a greedy machine treating players & fans like dirt & to predictable. No more batter & pitcher battles. I do like the fact that money ball analysts are more the focus now verses the supposed power hitters or super fast ball pitchers etc. Still everyone's greedy these days owners, MLB, the players etc etc.

      @@davidgonzalez1535 exactly I mean entry level is for MLB is I think like $350,000 not to bad hardly something someone be a college age "adult" or near retirement adult that's a pretty good living & should be fairly comfortable at either point let alone when making more then $5 million a year. I get it I want to make as much as I'm worth which I think is always more then you are making unless you are really doing something you love & are passionate about. Unfortunately most dont get that chance or option so for a MLB NBA or NFL player to cry over a cramp while making 10 million or even a 1 million dollars a game is hardly slave labor even locked into a contract as many like Kapernick & others in the NFL claim endlessly about thinking they deserve even more. Especially while other staff like trainers & cheerleaders or the janitors make pennies a game. That goes with male or female sports & even most female "pro" atheletes make several hundred thousand dollars a year far more then most regular people & far more then enough to live on even only playing half a year or so without having to really do anything else if one doesn't want to. But not only greed but trying to keep up with the jones & out better everyone else only to go broke because you blew all of it on drugs women cars houses drugs whatever. I could very easily party & live a great life on half the worse salary of even women pro sports it's just about investing & being money wise but again few do that & plan for the future then suddenly something happens & career & money gone & nothing left yet they want more & claim to deserve & be entitled to more. Rant over.

    Clearly most of these comments never played baseball at a high level and yes I did and my son was a D1 pitcher.
    The pitcher was on a pro level at amateur level. Gentry bring the hitter was a high school pick, he never made it to college and was drafted, in college he would face pro level or pro ready talent where the curv ball is more pronounced and more controlled vs high school pitching. This is why draft picks go to rookie ball to A to high A to AA to Tripple A by the time they reach AAA they have seen Major league talent and ready to face elite talent in the professional ranks where control is a muscle memory. There is a difference between pro level / pro ready and major league talent. High school picks are considered pro level at or where most college talent hits in third year and they gain strides in minors to level out.
    The pitcher was older and was pro ready already and will be on his way to minors to fine tune.

If they were trying to show that the hitter has issue picking up the ball, then they messed up. All I got from this is that the pitcher is a beast, not that the hitter is a Pedro Cerrano clone (props for knowing the reference).

      Agreed and that was Sandy Koufax's greatest advantage. Vin Scully called it his 12 to 6 pitch because it would come in at 12 o'clock and drop to six o'clock. Few could it his fastball but almost nobody could hit that monster curve ball of his. Willie Mays once said that Sandy would actually tip is pitches but "I knew every pitch he was gonna throw and still I couldn't hit him." High praise from one true baseball god for another one.

    Bo Gentry may have missed the curves, but it's obvious he hasn't missed many meals. That is one of the most realistic representations of a curveball I've seen in movies. A real life overhand curveball...if thrown properly...should have more downward break than inside/outside break. A "flat" curveball, no matter how much it breaks, might as well have a "hit me" sign taped to it.

      Right?! Yes, what was the trouble with the curve exactly? Like, they mention that the statistics failed to show that he hadn't had many curveballs thrown at him in high school! But that does *not* explain where the statistics missed that this *fastball* hitter suddenly couldn't hit *fastballs* anymore, even when he *knew* which pitch was coming! Why is that (to be clear, there are many reasons that could be true, but the movie fails to explain *any* of them)?!
      That's sadly one of this movie's fatal flaws! It failed to show what the *actual* "trouble with the curve" actually was! It *claimed* to show us, but it *didn't* actually show us!
      And there's so much more wrong with it (this scene and this entire movie) too! For example, is Rigoberto that good, or is Bo that bad? This scene implies *both,* but if one is true, the other can't be proven by seeing them face off *only* against each other!
      This movie missed on so many necessary parts that it sadly failed to make its own point! :( Hope someone does a movie like this right one day!
