"If we try to play like the Yankees in here We will lose to the Yankees Out there"
Comment from : @parkerbeard6170

They're trying to win with the same strategy that kept them there only thinking that "we only need better players", but even the criteria for better player is crap, unbelievable
Comment from : @GustavoSilva-ny8jc

Quite the opposite, a guy with an ugly girlfriend doesn’t mean no confidence It means he chose the right one for him, and didn’t care what others thought Prime example is a few of the top yankee players, they didn’t marry supermodels Marrying supermodels means no confidence, and also divorce of course 😂
Comment from : @morganwhite2176

I have watched this movie more than a dozen times and I've been thinking about some context for these scout's rationale As outrageous and goofy as they portray it, I get the idea of why they think that Part of the game of sports is mental and having a stable background I feel can attribute to better performance Now this isn't always the case when the athlete just has overwhelming talent but when I look at athletes with similar past performances, you notice that off-field distractions do play a major part in how they perform in the upcoming seasons It's no coincidence that these scouts are trying to find the diamond in the rough by going through these crazy ideas that may quantify confidence in an athlete I feel a portion of both Billy's analytical approach and the scout's character approach is the way to go

Why is Billy trying to dominate them 😂

2:30 could not be more true today with the current Oakland team
Comment from : @alimmeralli4446

I can tell you; with how patronizing the head scout was to his superior Billy Beane he deserved to be put in his place
Comment from : @rodcroft5570

I swear the first time I saw this I thought the one dude was John Wayne Gacey 😂
Comment from : @ironhillstraining3572

0:20 the ironic part is that exit velocity/launch angle is a big thing now so in a way they went full circle but with numbers

Brilliant scene
Comment from : @romankrhounek5974

Billy was doing his absolute best not to tell everyone in there to “shut the f*** up!” there at the beginning! Pitt did a good job of acting that and biting his proverbial tongue
Comment from : @hansenfiet2539

Just imagine if Brad didn't even pass the eye candy test those old guys and their priorities would never listen to him

Well, for one thing, Giambi's dead - as of 15 February 2023

Lol at people in the comments saying Pitt should have won an Oscar for this performance when it wasn't even his best performance of 2011 I would be fine with Pitt winning an acting Oscar in 2011, not for this movie though
Comment from : @crazyclemsonfan8305

I love this scene; it clearly states the problem Beane is trying to solve, and it's not a problem anyone in that room is equipped to address When we meet Peter Brand a couple scenes later, and Brand immediately speaks directly to Billy's problem as a fan of baseball and an economics expert, it kicks off the movie in earnest and feels like a breath of fresh air, but only because this scene works so well at describing "the crystal ball" or "magic tea leaves" these recruiters are trying to interpret with each player I don't know much about baseball, but I liked this movie a lot for presenting a case of how to think differently about a problem
Comment from : @ZakEmber

“We need 38 HR and 120 RBI” that’s totally a moneyball line
Comment from : @sohJOAO

What a great era for baseball :)
Comment from : @rogermoses3785

Lol who's Fabio?? Love that line
Comment from : @coryhellerer3425

Prior to the movie coming out, the only question you heard in Oakland was about if Brad Pitt was good enough looking to play Billy Beane
Comment from : @mikeburns5493

Is this what scouts really say when evaluating lower-tier players? They dance around the real questions and project a player's ability according to what they personally think about their non-factor qualities?brbrOr, was that Hollywood, just being Hollywood?
Comment from : @Seemsayin

Too bad all movies aren’t written and acted as smartly as Moneyball
Comment from : @alitlweird

It goes right down to properly defining the problem
Comment from : @neohermitist

Basing players on looks for god sake, it's pathetic really Symbolic even of how companies are run even in modern times to this day - run by old, wasted, overpaid men with outdated beliefs

WHoSe FabiOoo??

Brad played his role to perfection

Such a great scene ! In addition, I have watched this movie multiple times ! I love watching, and playing baseball, in addition to, offering T-Ball classes ⚾👍
Comment from : @jengable4888

- Who’s Fabio?brbrI laugh everytime
Comment from : @kevint786

What's great about this movie is the realistic reactions of the other scouts Billy was trying to introduce a completely new strategy to people who have used the same methodologies for years, if not decades Of course they're gonna push back, not see his perspective and argue with each other It makes it all the more satisfying to watch Billy succeed later
Comment from : @KoOkiEzRoCkz

I don't know the guys name but one of them is a dead ringer for John Wayne Gasey
Comment from : @shaunbrennan5882

Have the Oakland A's won anything?
Comment from : @GeorgeBridgetower

I like that the consideration these boomers talk about is like made for actors in a movie, not an athlete for a sport Like what the fuck girlfriend's look has to do with anything??

"Who's Fabio?'brbr"He's the shortstop for Seattle"brbrAh, I can't believe they did Fabio Lanzoni like that 😂😂😂
Comment from : @dcw127

This is also symbolic of business in general
Comment from : @ChristopherCudworth

Why is John Wayne Gacey acting in this scene?
Comment from : @95Lodgey

Were all of their scouts that old, or did Hollywood cast older actors to make a point? It seems like a metaphor the old way of thinking, versus the new
Comment from : @CommonCentrist82

Ted Williams didn't hit 300 his first two years in the minors The scouts DO see things that blind stat sheets do not
Comment from : @TheBatugan77

"Respect thy elders" This statement is meant for children whom lack the ability to judge a persons character Once you've matured, you should give respect to those whom deserve it Charles Manson was once my elder and he was a fucking idiot Despite what you're told, elderly people aren't wise about things, they're often incredibly out of touch You will never get my respect JUST because you're older than I am Earn respect by showing qualities that a person admires AGE IS IRRELEVANT
Comment from : @Jon-zj2cn

The A’s actually still had good players, Peña, Dye, Chavez, Tejada and Barry Zito The movie just wants to focus on the underdog part of the team and the organization Great movie

Comment from : @MrPicoBoulevard

The guy that kept questioning Billy is such a pompous ass He thought just because he was older he knows more It’s all luck in the end
Comment from : @Beamin-vt7jm

Horrible acting Brad Sorry!
Comment from : @Oscar3

The kind of talk you're hearing from the scouts in this scene is so reminiscent of the Harvard Business School nonsense you hear go on in meetings at large corporationsbrEmpty slogans from the mouths of "motivational speakers", theoretical gobbledygook learned from tenured business professors who've never had a real job in their lives, and just plain lying crap meant to deceive the listener into believing that the speaker knows what he's talking about In thirty years at a Fortune 500 company, I heard all manner of corporate BS, and the scary thing is how much of upper management believes itbrI know exactly how Billy feels in this scene I once had to be dragged away from dressing down a Divisional Manager about the obscenely nonsensical BS he'd just gotten done spending half an hour shoveling at us in a meetingbrThe difference here is that this kind of "classic swing", "the ball pops off his bat", "the guy's an athlete", nonsense isn't new, but 100 years old Billy has finally learned to see these slogans for the chicken entrails guesswork that they are When he asks, "If he's a good hitter, why doesn't he hit good?" The scouts don't have a real answer They just mouth more slogans
