Here is my full reaction to Moneyball!

This was the most recent poll winner! Moneyball was incredibly charming and inspiring, despite the bittersweet undertones. It's always tough watching someone strive for a dream that's always just out of reach. The overall message of "Just enjoy the show" is a great takeaway. It's easy to get so caught up in your big dreams that you don't pay attention to all the small wins. The story at the end was incredible!

Watched on: Netflix / Runtime: 2:13:20

Hope you enjoy! ❤️

"It's hard not to be romantic about baseball"

George Roybal

One of my favorite Baseball movies. The fact that it's true, makes it that much better

If you want more baseball movies, Bull Durham and Field of Dreams are both great.

When I was in high school and college, I was obsessed with baseball. I'm a massive Yankees fan. I devoured Michael Lewis’ book Moneyball when it came out. The book was about how people like Bill James and Billy Beane were using advanced statistics to identify undervalued players so that small market teams could compete with the likes of the Yankees and the Dodgers. They called it sabermetrics. At the time they were met with skepticism but the principles guide every team in Major League Baseball today and they have spread to the NFL and other leagues. Baseball has always been a game about statistics. Batting average. RBI’s. Wins and saves (for pitchers). What sabermetrics did was focus on the stats that actually mattered, like On Base Percentage, while refusing to pay players for the stats that didn’t. One of the important principles is sample size. If a player has an 0-20 hitting slump, it doesn’t mean much. That’s not a representative sample size. And that’s my big problem with Moneyball the movie. It ignores the lessons taught in the book. The third act of the movie focuses on the A’s 20 game win streak. That sounds like a lot, and it was definitely impressive and dramatic. However, a 20 game win streak, in a 162 game season, is still considered a small sample size. People who adhere to sabermetrics would not draw conclusions from a 20 game sample size. The movie’s major dramatic arc actually contradicts the underlying principles that the movie is trying to spread. The win streak didn’t prove that sabermetrics works. Billy Beane would probably admit it was mostly luck. The other major problem with this movie is it underplays how good that A’s team actually was even after losing Giambi and Damon. That team had three starting pitchers, Barry Zito, Tim Hudson, and Mark Mulder, known as the big three. They were all aces. They’re not even mentioned in the movie. They also had arguably the best left side of the infield in baseball with Miguel Tejada and Eric Chavez. The movie glosses over that. This is an entertaining movie but it’s another example of Hollywood dramatizing a true story to make it more palatable for general audiences. And the unfortunate thing is that in this case, it actually undermines the lessons taught by the real life story and the book.

Time to watch Brad eat a lot of food in every scene....I got my popcorn ready. Take a bite when he does...

The great thing about baseball movies, as an underrated genre, is that there is something for everybody...

The good news is that there are SO many baseball movies, and a lot are true stories...I think you would like '42' or 'The 'Rookie', but I personally choose 'For Love of the Game' and 'Bull Durham' and 'Field of Dreams' and 'A League of Their Own'

There have been a couple of movies about Babe Ruth. "The Babe Ruth Story" from 1948 with William Bendix is notoriously terrible, and is considered one of the worst movies of all time. "The Babe" with John Goodman wasn't a financial success, and its critical reception was mixed. Chicago film critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert called it one of the worst movies of 1992. I don't believe there have been any movies about Murderers' Row, but they are mentioned in passing in "The Sandlot."

Billy Bean there, done that! R.I.P Philip Seymour Hoffman

Billy Beane turning down the Red Sox offer is one of those things that just changes baseball history. That led to the Sox hiring Theo Epstein and he was thew wunderkind who put together that 2004 team that won the World Series and I don't know if that happens with Billy at the helm. I think the truth about moneyball as a concept is it works to a point. It's great for filling out the roster, but you do also need those high priced star players too. Jonah Hill's character says Johnny Damon wasn't worth the money the Sox were paying him, but he was an important piece of that championship team. So meeting in the middle is really the key. If you want to watch a movie that touches on that 2004 Red Sox team, I think Fever Pitch is great for that. It's a rom-com with Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore that actually had to be re-written because the Red Sox won. The Sandlot mentions Babe Ruth and the 1927 Murderer's Row Yankees quite a bit. That's a great summer movie and IMO an absolute classic. And, it might not be a baseball movie, but it's still just a classic comedy sketch, Who's on First? from Abbot & Costello!

As much as I enjoy this movie and a huge baseball fan, I think analytics made baseball worse.

Field of Dreams has to be the next baseball movie. Just make sure you have the tissues nearby! So many other great baseball movies out there though: -The Sandlot -The Natural -Bull Durham -61* -Major League -Trouble With the Curve -Pride of the Yankees -Eight Men Out -The Rookie -The Bad News Bears And many many more!

Wolvz

fully agree we need more baseball movies in the future!

Murderers Row refers to the first 7 hitters of the 1927 Yankees lineup. Often considered the greatest team in baseball history.

Thomas

A good baseball classic is Eight Men Out

Dang you’re still doing watch along format Jax? It’s very outdated. I think I know of 2 reactors who still do watch along. Everyone else has bypassed the pesky little copy write hurdle. And does full unedited. You should ask some of them how they patched it lol
