    Billy Beane might pull an Epstein

    How much disappointment can this guy take?

    He must feel like (insert ignored troll replying in this thread)’s parents

    Brad Pitt portrayed him great.
    Billy has a genius baseball mind, twenty years ahead of the game.
    Couldn't play baseball a lick on the pro level though.

    Some awesome scenes in that movie

    The round tables with the scouts pretty accurately portrayed those guys

    Stadiums are empty.
    T.V. deals, with a few exceptions (Yanks, Sox, etc.) bring in pennies compared to NFL, NBA.
    162 is and always will be idiotic. Can`t wait for a couple playoff games getting snowed out.

    Beane and his staff probably wouldn`t know what to do with a huge budget.

    Baseball is still far and away the best sport to talk about. I have no idea why.

    Because the talk is all about the game not who is kneeling, is the team going to go see the president, or who raped/beat their wife last week, or who is refusing to play because he wanted 90 million a year instead of 85 million a year. In other words the game isnt filled with trash.
