The movie never mentioned how the team had one of the best pitching staffs in the league
Comment from : @TobleroneCraft

As a fan who wasn’t behind the scenes but lived through the events, what I would say is that the biggest reason they were successful in that era was the existing roster and farm system left behind by former GM Sandy Alderson, who had moved on to another team The A’s had the best pitching rotation in the AL with Hudson, Zito and Mulder They had Billy Koch closing out games Bradford was a middle relief pitcher, as was Rincon Their impact was debatable Chavez, Tejada, Dye, Hernandez, Long and several others who played occasionally like Justice and Hatteburg contributed They certainly changed their approach to one of taking walks and getting on base but were unable to flip the switch to drive in runs when the time came So many times, including the playoff games they lost, they loaded the bases only to leave them full as every batter struck out looking or having to chase bad pitches because they took better pitches trying to walk Once the Alderson players were gone, the success evaporated This proves more than anything that moneyball had a very small effect Pena was struggling so badly in the shadow of Giambi that he was up and down in the minors when he was traded

I’m not a baseball guy and I really enjoyed this movie However, all the people I know who are “seriously” into baseball didn’t care for it Even my father who actually use to play Triple A ball didn’t care for itbrI’m assuming it’s because the movie tries to simplify the game too much I don’t know Sounds good

I have no interest in baseball, but I loved this movie
Comment from : @delrey874

While Jeremy Giambi was a solid bat for a handful of years, he was never one of the best hitters in the league
Comment from : @Extinguisher10

Chad Bradford was at no point a closer
Comment from : @Extinguisher10

The Jeremy Giambi timeline is off
Comment from : @Extinguisher10

I believe Billy Beane is the only name you pronounced correctly that entire video😢

The only moneyball that works is spending money on the best playersthat's money ball
Comment from : @LITMOVIESCENES

What a trash movie this waslike get real the team sucks and has suckedmoneyball has never worked
Comment from : @LITMOVIESCENES

People I guess forget the whole point of the movie was that it doesn’t work And we know it doesn’t work because the A’s have been doing it for 20 years and haven’t really made any noise
Comment from : @jbbeats2042

I was at the 20th game
Comment from : @jmsbeaber

They never did mention what a great starting rotation they A's had that yearMoulderZitoand Hudsonand Billy Koch as a closer
Comment from : @mikephillips3339

Statistics can be objective, but also misleading For example, a batter can make solid contact but hit the ball right at someone and make an out, while another batter can hit a cue shot for a hit Also, players on very good teams and very bad teams many times face pitchers on the bottom of the rotation who are just mopping up, and thus can pad their stats Also, in clutch situations you will have batters unwilling to swing at a borderline pitch and either take a called strike three or walk to leave it to the next batter
Comment from : @LawrenceMajkrzak

My problem with the movie is how they tried to use sabermetrics to push the idea that all teams need to be built this way and get rid of the past way of doing things when in reality the old way finds the superstars and this way helps fill in the gaps of a team for cheap
Comment from : @C4m4r0

GREAT Movie!
Comment from : @david4077-d6x

Well done - thanks Moneyball is one of favorite movies, and I'd heard that Art Howe was really a good guy within the baseball community so it's too bad he wasn't shown accuratelybut that's Hollywood - famous for making sh*t up
Comment from : @mikejohnson5900

Why use a guy that speaks with a heavy accent? I can’t tell anything he/she says
Comment from : @dansteinshouer300

Not sure why chavez, mulder, zito, hudson and tejeda were so upset They were not the point of the movie They were home grown talent, much like the other teams have done, but said teams could afford the price tag of the marquee players unlike the A's So they went with bradford, scott and david cuz they were the ones who fit the point of the movie They need to get over themselves
Comment from : @KenAdams426

Best line in the movie Have you seen his girlfriend? She is ugly What does that have to do with anything It means he lacks confidence LOL Its not word for word, but still Love that line
Comment from : @KenAdams426

The movie definitely downplays Billy’s anger issues Brad Pitt made his character seem like a really chilll and mellow guy
Comment from : @FMD023

Not a big baseball guy but love this movie Probably my favorite baseball movie along with Sandlot ;)
Comment from : @christopherr561

Comment from : @propakindustries22

Hey "limie" what do you know about American Baseball!!
Comment from : @richardpatrick7701

It is abhorrently false that teams did not utilize moneyball/sabremetrics before Billy Beane The A's 2002 season is remarkable because of how good the team was It's like making a movie about any spectacular underdog teambrbrI love this movie and Baseball, but it makes a lot of randoms who have seen the movie sound like idiots when they claim no one was using sabremetrics which had existed for for decades and was being used by big teams, it just didnt always look like that since the big teams could afford to buy out the players found by smaller teams
Comment from : @Otterpawp

Great movie, even better book!
Comment from : @crackerjack9320

ngl I still see Chris Pratt now whenever I see Hatty highlights 🤣
Comment from : @rayshoesmith

John Henery didn't get Billy but he did get Theo Epstein and used sabermetrics plus deep pockets to win his WS
Comment from : @caballotustenagge9006

bsigh/b Moneyball is complete fiction & this video is too Bradford, Justice, Giambi & Hatteberg were nothing more than average players Bradford was never a closer (11 career saves) Billy Koch saved 44 games, won 11 & led the league in games pitched & finished that year Giambi was so awful he got traded for Jon Mabry, who was far more important to that team That was Justice’s last season because he couldn’t run & Hatteberg was just a guy w/ far below average production at the position Moneyball convinced a ton of parents their kids no longer needed to be able to hit because guys who walked a lot carried the A’s to another disappointing postseason appearance The truth is they had the best SP trio in Hudson, Mulder & Zito, who combined for 57 wins & 675 IP They also had true Star offensive players in Chavez, Dye, Tejada & Durham and the only mention of any of them is Beane yelling at Durham, who stole 26 bases that year, to stop running The reality is the A’s had a ton of talent, but a poor bullpen and Beane’s unwillingness to fix that problem consistently prevented his teams from finding the success their star power deserved FYI, Giambi is still responsible for one of the dumbest plays in baseball history, costing the A’s a series, because he didn’t slide Overall, Moneyball is a stupid movie made for the participation trophy crowd
Comment from : @clint927

I can barely understand the narrator Had to stop watching
Comment from : @Driver96981

Interesting to see and hear this video narrated by a Scot (?)
Comment from : @fasteddie9867

Having three top end starters in your rotation is a massive reason for their success and a glaring absence from the movie
Comment from : @spiderman4x

One of my favorite movies
Comment from : @adriansierra751

endlessly rewatchable filmlove it
Comment from : @johnruggieri9089

Every story that is based on a true story is still fiction
Comment from : @xposition2001

This narrator and/or writer does not watch baseball, 10:42 called it a point 😑😑😑
Comment from : @Dave_ID69

Along with A League of Their Own, Moneyball is one of my favorite baseball movies!!
Comment from : @RudieObias

Comment from : @pantone41

All time classic sports movie
Comment from : @mattblom3990

Anytime I wear my A’s jersey people either say “Moneyball” or call me Scott Hatteberg 😅
Comment from : @gnarlybgaming

its not Miguel teJAYda it's Miguel tayHAda I hope you'll agree that the reality is much cooler in this instance as well
Comment from : @Michael-eq8th

I did some carpentry work at Bill James house a year or two ago He is as fun to talk to as a board or a rock Kind of a weird feller Moneyball is a boring bore of a movie Glad to hear they had to spice it up with inaccuracies, didn't work BORING
Comment from : @gypsydildopunks7083

Great movie…but this bummed me out
Comment from : @AnonymousAccount514

It's strange hearing an English voice narrate a JoBlo video, even stranger that it's a video about baseball 😂
Comment from : @thatsmoelikeit

Hey tbh I would turn down 12 million as well to go work for the Boston Red Sox! LMMFAO! #YANKZALLDAYBAYBAY!
Comment from : @Thathorrorguy12FU

That's hilarious! The coach gets portrayed by Phillip Seymour Hoffman and he 'spent seven years in an organization and this is the way your boss feels about you' LMMFAO! An overweight heroin junkie! Was the coach a junkie!? I know Mark McGwire was an A for some time right? Wasn't Barry Bonds as well? No, Giambi was, duh Him and Mark were so tight the only thing you could fit between them was a needle! LMMFAO 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Comment from : @Thathorrorguy12FU

I love the Dallas Cowboys! They are my team! Go Brad Pitt and that fat guy from Super Bad!!! #YEHHEES!
Comment from : @Thathorrorguy12FU

Great movieI knew they took some creative liberties but it was still entertaining
Comment from : @jmieses8139

Great movie, one of my favs
Comment from : @MrJamesdavies085

Just finished watching it for the first time, thanks for this vid
Comment from : @venimmortal440

Who made the British guy do the voiceover for this one?
Comment from : @DanOMalleyTime

It's worth remembering that "Moneyball" was not a documentary chronicling that fateful season - it was a feature film And given its extraordinarily effective cinematic achievements, it probably ranks as one of the most historically accurate portrayals ever made by any film of comparable quality
Comment from : @timsullivan4566

First good baseball movie in decadesbrGreat rewatchable quality
Comment from : @sureshots98

Jo-Blo gone Geordie?brNot what I expected
Comment from : @kildogery

How did you get David Beckham as a narrator?
Comment from : @engelmann82

One day you’ll finally get around to doing a WTF really happened in Independence Day… (just a bunch of bbq footage and fireworks at Roland emmerich’s house)
Comment from : @brownjellyfish

'Moneyball' is easily one of the best motion pictures made in the last 25 years A good story told well A rare commodity of late
Comment from : @hugh-johnfleming289

Yes, he gave us the WTF back I was wondering WTF happened to this channels rebrand
Comment from : @_scabs6669

My biggest problem with the book and movie is how it completely ignores the fact that Oakland had the three top starters in the AL (Mark Mulder, Barry Zito and Tim Hudson), as well as two MVP caliber hitters in their lineup (Miguel Tejada and Eric Chavez), most of which were not brought in by Billy Beane himself They put way too much attention on the guys that were more so role players than true stars
