- In the early 2000s, the Oakland Athletics (aka the Moneyball A's) began using analytics to overcome their low payrolls. Here's the secret behind the Moneyball A's and why their strategy was so successful.

For me the 3 best/ most important players were Mulder/Hudson/Zito EChavez, M Tejada were the keys to the lineup.
The Money ball guys filled out the roster
Agree, especially Chavez and Tejada. The fact that they were left out of the movie completely doesn't lend credibility to the movie.
It worked for like a season
The biggest mistake was probably giving it so much publicity during that season
Everyone was paying attention
They were mostly mocking them but they paid attention and just copied it later
And once again the rich got richer
I also blame it for the outrageous increase in payrolls. Especially since the cap doesn't matter because they have ways of getting the money to the stars without it effecting them much (see Dodgers 2024)
I’m fascinated with Moneyball. Excellent video!
Great video, im shocked you dont have a bigger following!
Thank you so much! I haven’t been as consistent as I want to be because I’m currently in college and working, but hopefully this channel succeeds as I upload more.
@@the_wire Respectfully & Seriously have you heard of the book WORTHLESS ? by Aaron Clarey; he points out that many college major's are NOT commercially viable in the real working world. STEM science technology engineering math (accounting) or say NO to college debt trap. Think about it ok buddy ? Help us spread the word; good luck.
I love this movie and this knowledge.
Thank you!
Thanks bro
It's a fantastic story!
Nice video. Very interesting and informative.
Great video!!
Straight fire Great job

Thank you for the video; Love the humble explanation. New subscriber; cheers.

Bill James was writing books about this for decades…
Put ur head down and keep putting this kind of content out... be consistent for 1 year and you will blow up my friend
Thank you!
Ya gotta shout out to Bill James' pioneering though..
Great explanation!
Thank you!
Worked great… they’re in Vegas now lmao
I believe in Sabremetrics and the Astros & Orioles are far better examples but more difficult to maneuver as at least 1/2 the league is trying to do the same. Elias & Mejdal & Blood mastered the real success as proven by their drafting with the Cards, then Astros, and now Os. However, the idea the As used it to win just doesn’t exist. Jermey was already on the team. The team won the same number of games and lost in the first round over and over - not really different. Without Moneyball, they produced the Jasons & identified affordable players to win prior to ‘Moneyball’
The true difference and reason they won until they didn’t - Zito, Hudson, and Mulder. Plain & simple.
Oh… and aside from whether or not the reasoning holds true and the minor adjustments from reality in the movie, I LOVE this movie and have watched it a dozen times
Tom Brady is a better example…
What?
How many World Series have the A's won since "moneyball"? That's what I figured. NONE.
How many teams won World Series using the analytical ideas that the A’s popularized? The Red Sox won championships in 2004 and 2007, using those “Moneyball” principles.
@@the_wireyup even the SF Giants, Cardinals, KC Royals, Washington Nationals won without Bryce Harper. The Yankees fell behind times haven’t won’t a championship since 2010.
@@the_wire huh?? The Boston Red Sox spent $125 million in 2004 and $122 million in 2007; TWICE as much as the Oakland As - they were 2nd in spending in all of MLB BOTH years. WHAT 'principles' did the RedSox use exactly?? - please enlighten us.
This is a silly argument. The question isn't "How many championships have they won?"
They didn't adopt the moneyball strategy to win, they adopted it to compete against teams that were spending three times the money they were.
When they were the only team using the strategy, they were a competitive team. Once teams that could spend more money than they could adopted their strategy, they became less competitive.
But they absolutely proved that the old way of scouting talent was inferior, which is a major win in a sport as old as baseball.
Moneyball is not about winning championships...it's all about being able to compete at the same level that championship teams do...on a budget.
People love this story - but it is really kind of BS. The real arbitrage that was leveraged was analyzing how much steroids had changed the very nature of the game. A's figured out speed and athleticism didn't matter in steroid era. Get on base and wait for homeruns. Everyone wasn't wrong about what mattered for 100 years of baseball - they were just slow to realize how steroids changed everything. "Analytics" sounds so much better...
So, instead of a multitude of different factors and conditions (including steroid usage), it simply was steroid usage and nothing else? One simple factor that all other multi-million dollar teams with their vast resources somehow missed?
You are a great example of another brainless guy filling 99.99% of the people in this sport, from the fans, players, management, all the way to the referees.
Even after proving to you that you have no brains and explaining to you how they did it, i.e. 100% with maths, and pointing out where you got it wrong ...
you still ramble some idiotic garbage about steroids.
Steroids don’t make you hit a home run better - juiced balls do lol
