5:30 wow Dawson predicted it happening

My favorite baseball movie, great video.

Thanks soo much Dawson for getting this big point across again. Moneyball is also one of my favorite baseball films that I think always show a good message on how to keep your team going and be hip! This new wave of looking at singing players is really working for clubs. Even with this season sucking with everybody on the DL at a certain time, it showed us how teams use valve of certain guys more now instead of just general things like HR or RBIs. The Brewers are kind of like this when they got Yelich and Cain: both fast guys that can only hit for some power but can keep the momentum going! That is why baseball is still getting better and is still the MOST INCREDIBLE SPORT to WATCH! Basketball is just going downhill with guys getting sensitive about where their setting is and players losing money just to get a ring. I do feel really bad for it but it’s true when you can just always sign the big guy to a team. Great video Dawson, you are the Baseball Wizard!

@TPiedog

Not trying to be THAT person that always starts arguements, but baseball attendence is going down, while basketball is going up, heck, the value of the actual team is going up in basketball too. I'm a sixers fan, not a warriors, and a Phillies fan not Yankees. And I can say that even after playing baseball my entire life (only 14), I feel like baseball is becoming more and more boring to me. I know that last part was just my opinion and experiences, but I honestly think basketball is the sport of the future and that football and baseball will be the first of the the four main sports in the United States Of America to lose popularity

So, so, true. As an superfan of baseball and moneyball, this is very well put together. A beautiful story

Let's be honest though, It was Mulder, Zito, and Hudson that drove the A's. Yes, they near the top in the A.L in Walks but 8th in Runs, walks are useless if you don't have anyone driving them in and ofensively they were middle of the pack. You can actually compare them to what The Braves did for 14 years, pitching heavy, average to above average offense

@CavemanJesus4Life

5 жыл бұрын

Yes but the Braves had Justice, Gant and few others that hit homeruns as well. You didn't need one guy to be the driving force when the whole team was a force that drove them to the World Series for what 5 years. Their Pitching staff was the best at that time.

@IwantJenniferConelly

5 жыл бұрын

You're right, they were able to have young pitchers on the roster BEFORE they got paid...It's been the same with all small market franchises in ALL sports. You get what you can until you can't pay them...trade for more prospects...UNTIL all the other sports beside football share revenue...that will have to be the formula. NBA and MLB teams in big markets have a tremendous advantage because of local cable deals.

@whyamimrpink78

True. Also, you can put together a competitive team by pulling a bunch of players off of the scrap heap looking at advanced stats, but in a short series you won't win. In a long season you will as depth is important, but in a short series teams are condensed using their best players, especially pitchers, and taking risks (such as stealing bases) to win. Play makers with talent wins in that case. Moneyball is the Martyball of baseball. Good in a long season but bad in the playoffs.

@mrmacross

4 жыл бұрын

Don't forget Miguel Tejada and Eric Chavez. Those two guys plus the pitchers you named were all drafted by old-fashioned scouts. Yeah, the movie is pretty misleading in that sense. Also, the way the movie presents things, baserunning and defense were not high on Oakland's priorities, and it sure seems like they could've benefited from having better defenders and baserunners on their playoff teams. I think Beane's philosophies of the day (hit homers, draw walks, don't allow homers, don't issue bases on balls) worked on filling out the bottom end of the roster on a restrictive budget, but most title teams have to overpay at some point. The Cubs and Astros built their team around the amateur draft (Moneyball) but also added expensive vets on post-arbitration contracts (not Moneyball), and the Red Sox spend like the Steinbrenner-era Yankees. The 2015 Champion Royals are an exception, and they seemed to have done it by creating a lineup that is completely antithetical to what Billy Beane wanted (but their pitching, especially the bullpen, was what every team valued).

And before we proclaim Billy Beane a genius for signing guys with high OBPs, we should acknowledge something the movie doesn't: they had 3 guys named Mulder, Zito and Hudson. Yeah, if 3 of the 5 guys in your rotation do an excellent job of keeping the other team off the scoreboard, you're going to rake up some wins.

Bro, you called it 🙌

This is basically a summary of the movie... Was looking for more info

The poster shows Pitt, Hill and Hoffman. I literally just got done watching this movie for at least the 5th time, seen certain scenes more than that. I still thought wait PSH is in this?!?...obviously felt stupid seconds later. But that might be the highest praise I can give an actor. I didn't realize that it was a super famous actor, someone I've studied, he was the character. And in a relatively small screen time but he kills every second he has. Like the saying "no small parts, only small actors"

Crazy how you called it when Harper left Washington. Wow!

Here's the thing about "getting on base"--it's valuable if the guy who singled or walked can score from first base on a line drive to the outfield gap. If it takes 3 hits per inning to score a guy, that's very difficult to do. In this day and age, where everyone coming out of the bullpen is throwing 98 mph and managers are quick to give the hook to starting pitchers as the line-up turns over for a third time, it's very hard to link hits together in one inning. The game continues to evolve and change and what worked in 2004 is not going to work any more.
