    Are you going to watch Moneyball in Theaters?

    You probably just saw the previews showing during the All-Star game. I like it already.

    This movie will take a while for having lots of movie stars in it. Especially Brad Pitt.

    $5.00 is not cheap for a pirated DVD.

    I'll be doing the same though, or downloading it

    I do not go to watch movies. It is not because i am cheap, but because they take too much out of my day and they are such an effort. I have a pretty good setup at home (not that it really helps when you are watching a pirated copy) and I need to be able to watch when I want and be able to pause and rewind.

    Looks awesome. Can't wait to see it.

    Also, Brad Pitt wearing a visor makes me feel better about always wearing one myself. (...I realize this seems fairly gay.)

    Moneyball is all a big fraud...

    A's were good because of Hudson, Mulder, and Zito...

    Not Scott Hatteburg...

    I pay $5, watch it, then sell it for $5. +EV

    And yes a good setup at home is all you need

    There was stuff about pitching in moneyball too though basically looking for the pitch to contact and soft tossers that are undervalued over strikeout guys and hard throwers that they can't afford.

    But moneyball still very overrated because they built the regular season not to win a title. They could get big innings against weak pitchers and guys with control problems, but no way to score on top pitchers.

    I don't see how this could possibly be an interesting movie. Most of the book was about the practical application of statistics, and as for the personalities involved, I'm sorry, but Chad Bradford & company just aren't that interesting.

    I have a feeling they are going to try to riff off Major League and make it seem like a bunch of inept players overcoming long odds. I'll pass on this.

    I just saw it. It was good. Billy Beane commits suicide at the end of the movie. (I hope I didn't give anything away.)



    Seriously, everyone here should like it.

    LOL wow. My sports econ-professor told me that a couple of years ago. I thought at the time he must be mistaken, but I just took it as fact.
