Well, you just sort of stopped short on EXPLAINING WHY IT WAS BULLSHIT!!! WTF
The movie is incredibly well acted.
What I would like to know is,there has to be situations where players on the same team are almost identical in metrics that the strategy guys crunch. So when that happens,does the human element come into it then?? Or are managers just PR guys who spew cliches night after night (looking at you,Boone)
No mention about MVP Tejada or Zito in the whole movie, crazy
Ok I guess I’ll just take your word for it.
Well, you've stated your hypothesis but you certainly didn't prove it.
Hollywood takes artistic liberties when portraying real life events – news at 11
Normal people know its a bullcrap story.
You enjoy your own voice
Got rid of =/= couldn't keep.
Entertaining movie but definitely glossed over the incredible drafting and development the As pulled off in the years prior.
It’s a movie. Every movie has bullshit in it. Every bio/doc movie has bullshit in it. Except Airplane. Everything in that was real. 🤣
What? Ok what part?
So you have a problem that the movie is focused on Billie Beane cobbling a team together right? That didn’t happen? Fine there were stars who didn’t get mentioned much in the movie. I agree. But this isn’t mr baseball. It’s a two hour movie so they focused on a part of it.
However good individual players are I just have two questions. Billie Beane didn’t put the team together using this method? And second, in baseball, role players aren’t important? One of the stars is a starting pitcher and as important as that is he’s getting the ball once every 5 games at best. You don’t need a little more than that to go 103 – 59???? a lot of times it doesn’t matter how many stars you have, you need role players, to be that consistently good. Tell the Angels with Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani that a couple stars is all you need. By the way I am a brewers fan. A team that has dominated the nl central for ten years since the Cubs won a World Series, and yes they have Yelich, but he’s getting old, he’s been hurt, and what makes the team so good is their coaching and they have the right role players that step up… so acting like all this behind the scenes stuff isn’t important is just fucking ridiculous. I guess you have a problem with what this movie chose to focus on because you are not in the movie with Tejada on the beach or whatever he thinks made them great… but that’s what they chose to focus on and that doesn’t mean it’s total bullshit.
Yeah, its a movie where in most of them, they make stuff up.
Bro why so angry. 😂😂😂
Your video is a joke. Waste of time
No mention of the unbelievable talent they had… Hollywood bs
It's a Movie smh Some people need to relax plus it's a damn good movie
That's not what the movie is about. It's Hollywood and they care about story, not being accurate.
Yeah that team was stacked and it probably should be viewed as a disappointment that they didn't make a better showing in their post season appearances. Also Carlos Pena who supposedly was dragging the team down ended up being the quintessential "money ball" type player who hit for a ton of power, drew walks, and played good defense at a relatively bargain price.
Just say BS a bunch of times and call it an explanation. Some grade A reporting
I live in the east Bay Area about 30 mins from the Coliseum. I saw this team up and close. They had Hudson, Mulder, Zito, Eric Chavez and Miguel Tejada lol!! That’s why they won. They had 3 absolute STUDS at the top of their rotation. That’s the “secret” lol.
So, the movie came out in 2011 and just NOW everybody is having a fit??? Why??? Why NOW??
He’s complaining about a movie taking liberties with how real life really panned out
Yep, ignored Mulder, Hudson, and Zito. Tejada and Eric Chavez.
Spent over half of the video telling us NOTHING
First time watching a movie that guy or what?
What a terrible video
What a doofus
It's a movie, not a documentary. Surely, we know the difference.
“Based On” and “An exact Replica Of” are NOT the same thing…. I find it very concerning that you don’t seem to know the difference….If they simply put the actual real life season on the big screen (edited for time constraints of course), very few people would go watch that, possibly only Oakland fans if any….It was BASED on events. Cinema goers need more than just exact copies.
