How the Moneyball A's outsmarted an entire sport

[@TheBlewis]

This is so good. All your videos are incredible, well-written, and well-researched. Your channel should be way bigger. Just pledged to your Patreon. Keep it up!!

How does this video have only 10k views still. It’s so good

[@randerson1184]

This channel has a ton of growth in front of it. Great work!

[@stevenwhyte4238]

This channel is a tremendous little treasure trove of videos that are very well done. Absolutely agree that your channel deserves to be bigger than it currently is. Keep at it, fella, and hopefully the subscriber count begins to grow for you.

Thing with analytics is that things are always changing in every sport. A team gets an Ohtani and that changes how the game is played, so other teams dig into analytics to find an edge. Everyone follows that trend, and then one team finds a new edge. It's always evolving.

Super underrated baseball page. Rly good content, man.

2002 is generally the peak of Moneyball. The system did outsmart baseball but it only works if you can also find a couple superstars who can take the team over the top. The way the A's and Beane ran it, you end up with what you saw in 2002...a team that has the potential to win a lot of games over the course of the season but get smoked in the playoffs year after year.

You videos are incredible, so glad that I found them

Playoff have always been a stupid way to judge the “best” team in any league. To judge a great team you need to analyze a large number of games in which all the teams play all the other teams in their league. Any team can get hot for a few weeks and win a limited series. This is why european soccer puts much more emphasis on winning the league and less on the cup competitions (Champions League cup is the exception because it is Europe wide competition). Playoffs have always been just a way for club owners to grab more money from TV and fans.

Europe 1st place overall means everything for a team to win. Murica 1st place overall means nothing for a team to win.

Money ball is so fucking good, just as a movie. Brad can act his fucking ass off

If a guy is a 250 hitter who gets on base over 50% of the time you have to factor in luck I imagine which afaik goes against science And yet there's guys that consistently for that mold

[@flanka7819]

[@hunterkirkland8421]

Calling Moneyball a netflix docu is crazy

[@phattonez]

The lesson of moneyball is all wrong. The A's weren't successful because of their oddball acquisitions. They just drafted well and ended up with an elite starting rotation and phenomenal position players in Tejada and Chavez. They didn't win because of Scott Hatteberg.

[@therealjaystone2344]

Rebuilding is a poor man’s strategy. Your team is a playoff contender but never a title contender.
