    Billy is concerned with the lack of funding for the baseball team. #Moneyball #BradPitt #moviescenes
    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.

      @@akallstar5 You do realize this is set in 2001, right? Baseball salaries were nowhere near 200 million at that time. The yankees had the highest payroll at 126 million and the athletics only had 41 million. The owner could of bumped it up to 50 million and that would of been a 22% increase by itself. A 200 million dollar payroll would of been almost a 400% increase in payroll then they actually had and almost 60% more then the yankees payroll, who were the highest payroll in MLB at the time.

    Moneyball probably has the most believable executive that’s ever been put on film because he was actually played by Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick. The whole “what else can I help you with?” motif is 100% accurate. Notice how it works when Schott uses it on Billy, but when the A’s manager tries it on Billy, it fails because a) Billy Beane has a stronger will and b) Billy didn’t report to Art Howe (the other way around, in fact)

      Not really, if the goal is just make the playoffs and one and done. Had the As won it all, then sure you'd be right. But the tried and true "just pay more than everyone else" style still works and will always work. Being cheap on your players, or your real life 9-5 workers, you're gonna get a bad product. It's just life. You get what you pay for, and even after the As success, that rings true cause the higher budget teams still keep winning, except now they can add analytics to their style.

    The writing is excellent. The acting (talking about the whole movie and not just this scene) is above to great. But I can’t help but to wonder how much the dialogue and acting is bolstered by the texture of the actors’ voices? With the exception of a few of the younger actors, everyone’s voice (to me) has multiple layers, one that provides clarity, and one that provides a kind of grit or texture that makes listening to the crisp and well written dialogue so easy and enjoyable.

      That the owners are billionaires is irrelevant. The team is a separate business and the owner's net worth is tied up in other businesses and contracts. An owner can't just take money from out of one business and give it to another business without getting value in return; that's called commingling of funds and it's a form of fraud.
      The A's were a business, and a business's ability to spend money is restricted by the amount of revenue it brings in and the amount of money it can borrow. The financial position of the owners via other businesses is irrelevant.

      One of the biggest issues in baseball, and pro sports in general, is it's basically impossible to lose money. So, especially with these small market clubs, the goal is to spend just enough to be "competitive," meaning you finish above .500, but never good enough to get to the playoffs. It keeps the fans engaged while saves the ownership money. So, yeah, it's funny they "never have money" meanwhile make billions a year.

    I get where the owner is coming from though. He knows that this thing is probably a money pit to him and not a real investment so he's trying to have a budget of how much he wants to spend on a hobby. That's probably how he got to being rich enough to afford a baseball team in the first place. Like with ski resorts, the ones that are privately owned are really because the owners have a passion for skiing, not because they are getting rich by breaking even on good years.

      This is the core argument about finances in baseball. The owners say that the valuation only matters when they sell and they don’t plan to sell. They tell you to look at the revenue in versus cost out; the profit they make each year is the money folks are asking the to spend. In the moneyball period, I found data showing that the As collected 90 to 110 million dollars a year in revenue. That seems crazy low considering that they must get a cut of the national tv contract as well as revenue sharing.
      But if they are collecting $120m a year, that money has to pay all the costs each her, including the salaries.
