Billie Bean was offered it, not Brad Pitt.

[@Str4t0sPh3rE]

For those that don't know, Billy was offered $12.5 million per year.

[@johnjeffreys6440]

yes, not Brad Pitt as the title suggests.

[@BoilersRock]

I like how this movie was filmed. It has kind of the same technique or feel as Margin Call - the dialog is very even-keeled and it feels like you're almost in the same room with these people for many of the scenes.

[@Arctic_Dude]

I was thinking the same thing. There are a few scenes in Margin Call that I've seen so many times it's almost embarrassing.

The philosophy wouldn't work if every team employed it.

I never realised the Red Sox offered Brat Pitt a contract 😂😂😂

A very underrated film

[@MidnightAT]

underrated? 7.6 on IMDB, 94% rotten tomatoes and 87% Metacritic as of today. Thats not underrated whatsoever.

[@christopherwintersii2604]

Billy never got his championship. There is no justice in the world

@cheesycheese7100 what kind of a man uses cheesycheese as a name? Got a little extra cheese on that taco, huh?

But he did win in life in terms of having Brad Pitt play him in one of the greatest sports movies ever made.

[@LeLaidbackLauncher]

I think Brad Pitt himself would be the first to tell you he never got offered to be GM of the Red Sox. If he did, he would be GM of the Red Sox 😂

[@blakemccorkle18]

Brad Pitt is an actor,p he is woefully unqualified to be the manager of an MLB team. 😏

BTW Jonah Hill kills it, not possible without him. Did anyone see the interview where the interviewer made light of him being fat? He turned on the guy, as he should. Don't ever call someone fat (unless you want to insult them) 😆😆😆😆

[@bobdonovan34]

We did alright with Theo.

[@chrispreperato5562]

My favorite part of this clip (in large part because Pete is himself a take on Paul Podesta), is that Jonah's character is basically arguing himself out of a laughable raise. Like, "Pete" got traded for some 7tn round pick; soda money got traded in another. If the GM is getting paid $12.5mil/yr, surely his assistant GM is either making 7 figures himself...or he's the new A's GM at also a 7-figure deal. Its a lovely scene for baseball fans; but the man (as written in the film) cost himself hundreds of thousands a year immediately, and probably tens of millions over his career (maybe even hundreds of millions if Billy Beane goes to BOS and instantly wins and he becomes the immediate Yankees GM, etc) all to argue a thing he hasnt really argued in the film to that point (that theres still a heart behind the statistics)

[@mrkanangra]

But Billy ended up in the jungle trying to get to the Chopper!.....

[@Tripp42]

What was the meaning behind the dude hitting a home run and not knowing it?

[@Whatisright]

This movie has so far been about raw numbers and data. That moment is what the game and sports are all about, overcoming and doing the impossible. Seeing someone overcome and doing what they themselves thought was impossible. What no one expected. Fans don’t just want a winner they want a warrior. With the big guy it’s seeing someone overcome and realize something about themselves and everyone happy for him in the moment.

[@JoniAntonioo]

The metaphor is that sometimes in life you are held back by your fears, even though you are fully capable of achieving those things you think you aren't good enough for. Billy didn't think he was worth $12 mill, yet he was to the right organization, the red sox at the time had an 84 year drought, they were willing to buy a championship.

[@Whatisright]

@@JoniAntonioo Sports is one way a lot of people get to visualize the impossible. To learn how to overcome, and what’s important. There’s a reason it’s a religion to some people.

Dude refuses it and then theygo on to use his methods anyways and when the world series. What an idiot

[@bdcopp]

If you watch the movie, he turns if down because he doesn't want to move to the other side of America away from his daughter.

[@RayB50]

​@@bdcopp Turned down is turned down.

[@bdcopp]

@RayB50 I'm not American, I've never watched a baseball game. But I've heard of Billy Bean and saw Brad Pitt play him in a holywood movie... Not sure why you are calling an idiot. This guy is more world famous than the entire sport of baseball.

[@RayB50]

@bdcopp ​@bdcopp Because if he had went on to the red sox , it's quite possible that he would have been the one to lead then them to their first world series championship in eighty six years in 2004. They hired terry francona instead and he won in 2004 using the methods from this movie. But instead He is still with the Athletics Chasing that world series championship he will probably never get. The Red Sox have had 4 since then.

[@Harriet1822]

Billy Beane (Brad Pitt): "I was grateful for the call" John Henry (Arliss Howard): "You were grateful. For forty-one million you built a playoff team. You lost Damon, Giambi, Isringhausen, Pena, and you won more games without them than you did with them. You won the exact same number of games that the Yankees won, but the Yankees spent 1.4 million per win and you paid 260,000. I know you're taking it in the teeth out there, but the first guy through the wall, he always gets bloody. Always. This is threatening not just a way of doing business but in their minds it's threatening the game. But really what it's threatening their livelihood. It's threatening their jobs. It's threatening the way that they do things. And every time that happens, whether it's a government or a way of doing business or whatever it is, the people who are holding the reins, have their hands on the switch, they go batshit crazy. I mean, anybody who's not tearing their team down right now, and rebuilding it using your model, they're dinosaurs. They'll be sitting on their ass, on the sofa in October, watching the Boston Red Sox win the World Series. --Moneyball

Nah. It's a very popular and healthy sport in many places around the earth. It's not everyone's sport, but the people who hate baseball are usually brainless mutants who can't sit still for 3 minutes at a time.
