#moneyball  #it made me feel a lot of feelings 

Peter: The Visalia Oaks and our two hundred and forty pound catcher, Jeremy Brown, who as you know is scared to run to second base. This is in the game six weeks ago. This guy is gonna start him off with a fast ball. Jeremy’s gonna take it in the deep center. Here’s what’s really interesting. Because Jeremy is gonna do what he never does, he’s gonna go for it. He’s gonna round first and he’s gonna go for it. Okay? [tape shows Jeremy running and falling.] This is all Jeremy’s nightmares coming to life.Billy: Aw, they’re laughing at him.Peter: And Jeremy’s about to find out why. Jeremy is about to realize… that the ball went sixty feet over the fence. He hit a home run and didn’t even realize it.

#moneyball  #whatevs i really like this movie ok 

#you know what the worst thing is #for me at least #it’s that everyone says lfc is using the moneyball method #which one they aren’t really #and two if they are then half a season’s gone and we should be having a season upturn #whatever my logic is sound in my head okay  Right? The only case where I feel like it’s been applied (and ok my knowledge of said policy is solely limited to this movie) is Bellamy and if you think about it, he’s definitely been one of our best signings (if not one of our best players overall) this season.
