Moneyball. Brad Pitt stars in this film about Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane and his attempt to put together a baseball club on a budget by employing computer-generated analysis to draft his players. Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) challenges the system and defies conventional wisdom when his is forced to rebuild his small-market team on a limited budget. Despite opposition from the old guard, the media, fans and their own field manager (Philip Seymour Hoffman), Beane - with the help of a young, number-crunching, Yale-educated economist (Jonah Hill) - develops a roster of misfits…and along the way, forever changes the way the game is played.

“Scott Hatteburg.” “Who?” “Exactly. Sounds like an Oakland A already.” Underrated part of the script right there LOL 😂
-
The only scene better: "I've never played first base". "Its not that hard, tell him Wash". "Its incredibly hard." LOL.
-
“Billy that doesn’t look right” “No look you gotta carry the one” “Ah.” What a wholesome old man 😂
-
I remember in little league my coach gave us a similar pep talk where he emphasized how you can win every game without ever hitting a home run, triple, or even double, and that all we need to focus on is getting somebody, ANYBODY, to home plate. I'll never forget when he said "A walk with bases full is exactly the same amount of points as a home run with bases empty."
-
The acting is so good all around here. Feels like we're snooping on a real meeting in a documentary or something.
-
"Check your notes or I'm going to point at Pete..." LOL. I love this line!
-
The fact that the head scout is played by an actual baseball player and coach who hates Billy Beane irl is genius. Such a good casting decision.
-
The fact that this revolutionary change in baseball scouting has brought 7 more professional seasons for an almost finished Scott Hatteburg is so heart-warming.
-
I like the old guy who understood their place at the table. He’s a man of honor.
-
"Does Pete need to be here" "Yes he does" Nothing better than validation.
-
"Check your reports or I'm gonna point at Pete." My favorite line in the movie.
-
That old schooler at the end of this scene who humbles everyone by explaining the roles of everyone in the room, the “we make suggestions” guy……. There aren’t enough people like him anymore.
-
"Do I care if it's a walk or a hit?... Pete?" "You do not." Best moment.
-
The older guy with the hearing aid nailed it. GM doesn't answer to the scouts. He's the man. He answers to the owner and God
-
One of the reasons I love this scene and watch over and over, is that besides Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill, no one else looks like a Hollywood actor, like they were picked right out of the Oakland A scouting staff. Makes the whole scene especially authentic.
-
Easily one of Brad Pitts best performances. He nails this character out of the ballpark, pardon the pun.
-
"Why are you still going out with her, after everything she's done to you??" ...Because she gets on base
-
“We are card counters, at the blackjack table, and we’re gonna turn the odds on the casino.” I loved this line.
-
The atmosphere in this scene feels so unbelievably realistic. Its masterfully done
-
The fact that no one thought of this before 2002 is the most mind boggling thing ever.
