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.

@@katherineberger6329 oaklands A's was a bad team right
@@qwertyki9367 Did I say they were a bad team? No. But they demonstrate that analytics alone can only take a team so far - beyond that threshold, you need to actually spend money to succeed.
@@katherineberger6329 i never thought about you thinking they were a bad team. Thanks for answering my question btw, i dont know shit about baseball but thought the moments in the movie was pretty cool
@JeremyCuddles This argument really only works in a more civilized society. Some of the greatest creations mankind has ever produced were under the thumbs of dictators and slaves. It doesn't get worse than that as far as working conditions go.
Most of the products western societies use today are from China. They're not exactly throwing money at their workforce over there, either.
So sure, as long as people have an actual choice, they'll naturally gravitate towards making more money for their craft than otherwise.
And this is the real reason Oakland never won anything. They have arguably the biggest cheapskate in the MLB for an owner.
Fuck the A's ownership. They're lucky to have Billy Beane bail them out from be perpetual basement eaters year in and year out
At least they're not the Astros. Up until a few years ago, the Astros never won ANYTHING. Not even a championship.
@@Dakarn When's the last time the A's went to an ALCS? 20 maybe 25 years ago?! GTFO. The 1970-1980 As don't mean shit right now in 2021

Royals fan here, reporting for salary complaint session
This movie used actual scouts to play the scouts, and an actual CEO to play the team owner. Was it trying to show us that we should look at building a cast differently, and that actors are less vital than we thought they were?

Mourinho to Woodward and the Glazers
Ain't that the truth
@Ian Pulham yeah, that’s for sure!
Bean should’ve went to Boston and got himself a ring
Seriously. His only shot with the A's was when they were a sneak attack. Once it was clear the big money clubs had caught on, it was over.

@@newyardleysinclair9960 Dodgers have been the best organization in baseball the last 10 years and they only got 1 chip. the most a fan can ask is that their team is competitive and has a chance to win it all. post season baseball is a lottery.

"I need my Moneyball too." literal chills in the theatre
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.

Bobby Kotick ruins another employee's dreams while he makes millions!

2:48, With the taxes in California and Massachusetts, I'm surprised Johnny Damon didn't hold out for $9 million 😃
Billy: We need money
Owner: I'm only a billionaire, what on earth can I do about it , btw you have 3 stud pitchers that a movie 10 years from now will gloss over, youll be fine lol
Zito and Mulder were pretty damn good in 2002. Zito won 22 and Mulder won 19 games
Also the future AL MVP in Tejada, Eric Chavez and Jermaine Dye...
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.
Seriously, the pitchers weren’t even mentioned 🤣
@@cisium1184 Steve Balmer does not give a shit if the Clippers lose 100 million dollars a year. Unless you are one of the lucky owners that's had the team for GENERATIONS from back when just regular rich people could afford them, money isn't an issue.
"I am just asking you to be OK not spending money which I dont have"
I say that to my daughter like every week
Making Bobby Kotick says he doesn't have enough money is certainly something...
Rest in peace Billy Beane.
Epic cast. The headliner: Nick Searcy.
We don't have the money, like when the Pirates were found to be keeping 3 separate sets of accounting books, the real ones and the cooked ones of the IRS and MLB Players Association. The owners gifted themselves and family massive salaries and deducted that from operating income to yield a net-loss for the "Books". I am not saying smaller market teams were not disadvantaged compared to larger market teams but why should large market fan bases, have to suffer for smaller market ones.
This is a little silly and disingenuous..this isn't the nfl with national contracts and centralized planning and marketing..the yankees and red sox plain old have bigger markets, massive local tv deals, great marketing..u think tampa has anything remotely approaching that with a octogenarian fanbase, a non existent stadium scene, zilch for tv revenue, luxury boxes, nothing.. Oakland and Pittsburgh and Cincy are crime ridden cities with small markets and frankly the nfl is obviously the 800 pound gorilla..no one denies owners don't cook books: businesses have done that with unethical but barely legal accounting practices for years.. but to pretend Pittsburgh or Oakland can reasonably can compete with yankees or sox is ludicrous
This was such a good movie
Billy should've proposed a mobile game to Bobby.
Who is Brad talking to ? Is this the owner?
I think this is the first time I've heard Kotick speak.
Noone was waiting for a quote..
Actually, it is rather stupid when the owner asks why they won't do better next year when he sold the mentioned players. He acts as if he didn't know they were gone.
Love this movie
You win = he agrees to the 8mil, right?
The clip left it kinda ambiguous =p
The guy who plays Steve has dead eyes.
Will they pay now that they are in vegas?
What's sad is the bigger spending teams sadly will always raid the little teams as their farm system. So Boston a big budget team just took the a's analytics & big $$ & finally won. So the a's just help the bigger fish more. Why isn't their a salary cap for every team that's the same ? That's why mid early to mid 90s basketball was so great b/c their was a salary cap. U just could not build super teams cause nobody could make a trade for the big contract.
Why have a team if your not going to compete against teams with big budgets?
Because it’s still profitable even if the team isn’t competitive. Baseball has no salary cap or profit sharing unlike all the other top pro leagues which have to spend a minimum amount of money on the roster
@@manhattannewyork-fr5pd the Oakland A’s are far from profitable. Teams like the Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers and Astros they’re profitable
@@BostonSteve922 if it consistently doesn’t make any profit why aren’t they bankrupt and shit down?
@@manhattannewyork-fr5pd have you seen how empty the Oakland Colosseum is on a regular basis
@@thej762000 trading away their top talent and pocketing the difference isn’t making a profit. Making a profit comes from having a team regardless of who’s on it and bringing in more money than you pay for. Not selling off talent

Ugh. Bobby Kotick. Scourge of Activision/Blizzard. What a slimeball.

@@akallstar5 all owners are rich
@@jonbruce4930 lol yea buddy not necessarily rich enough to spend 200 million annually in salary
@@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.
I had no idea Bobby Kotick was in this movie. He does a great job acting all things considered.
Maybe it's just all the experience being a bad leader who pinches pennies while sacrificing the wellbeing of his staff.
I came to the comments looking for confirmation. 👍
@@cursedbeats9934 being a leader and bring profitable are two different things.
@@Bulldog22031 A sickness in modern America is people have conflated "being wealthy" with "being successful / virtuous / a decent person."
There's no doubt that people like Kotick have made a lot of money, but that doesn't mean they were good leaders or took care of their people doing it.
@@cursedbeats9934 Dude, he made company profit by firing hundreds of staff, both experienced and inexperienced ones... He is just good at cutting corners to reduce costs, if you think that's good "leadership," you must be dumb as a brick.
To say nothing of Kotick as a person, I'd assume he has more money and has a lot more power and clout than the character he plays. Could be wrong.
I never realized this... But isn't it ironic that Bobby Kotick is playing someone in this movie that doesn't want to pay more for his labor? kek
He did a great job in the small role he had.
@@kevinc8955 He brought a sense of realism to the movie. His role is basically saying "no" to Billy Beane asking for more money, and he does it like a guy who know what its like to give someone a budget in the millions of dollars and then have them ask for more so they can get better results.
Yeah i thought it was pretty funny when rewatching this movie. Although i think real life is much worse with settlements out of court and everything probably going back the way it was.
That's not what irony is. It's exactly what you'd expect from Kotick. It's the opposite of irony.
Love how Activision blizzard CEO just plays himself in this scene
Literally lol
To be clear, this guy never owned the A’s. He was playing the role of the guy who owned the A’s.
@@HoustonTom are you explaining how acting works? Or the difference between a GM and owner lol. Ofc
@@bmo14lax your comment was that the activisipn ceo played himself in the movie. He wasn’t the owner so therefore he wasn’t playing himself, he was acting.
@@HoustonTom Yes, it's called a metaphor
An incredibly dumb metaphor I randomly posted 11 months ago....
I forgot how good this script and acting was
This script is flawless, love every second of this movie
I forgot how hawt Brad Pitt is 🙆🏻
Classic Arron Sorkin, all his stuff (well most of his stuff) is just as good
The acting in this is good from pitt only. The other guy is 👎
The script is adapted from a book.
The owner of the club was played by CEO of activition.
It all makes sense now. Doesn't want to pay fair wages. Wants sales and results without supplying the payroll necessary to achieve it.
@@Dakarn this is not the analogy you think it is..the whole movie is about how they got the results without the money. In baseball you go to the team offering you the better deal. Same with ABK, employees should look for a better deal :)
@@mtgHose No, I wasn't talking about the movie. I was digging at Kotick.
Aced it. 👍
Nothing like being a Pirate fan. We train future Yankees as essentially their farm club.
nah you a farm for the Rays sadly
Do YOU train them or do they?
So does everyone
The Kansas City Royals were infamous for being an unofficial Yankees farm system back in the 70s. They would frequently send great players to them.
That's how I feel about the Rams in football, except they use draft picks and money to aquire players after they've been proven.
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)
knew I recognised him but couldnt put a name to the face. Being that Im a game dev, thats embarassing :D
Crazy timing for us to be watching the clip now, given his name being in the news now.
I just noticed this before I read this, and it freaked me out.
I almost didn't recognize him without the horns...
Its Bobby Koticks world and we're just living in it.
Bobby Kotick is really good at playing himself
He's not, he is playing Stephen Schott, a co owner of Oakland A's. It's odd, I know.
@@Clevercommenter You don't get it.
It took me a hot second to realize it was Ol' Bobby Kotic in this scene. RIP Blizzard entertainment/LMFAO Activision.
I freaking thought he looked familiar. My god good ol Bobby wasn't even acting here. I bet it is the same speech he gives whenever Blizzard developers ask for more resources.
@@richards6431 for Reforged
For those that don't know - The billionaire he's asking for money from is Bobby Kotick, the CEO of Activision-Blizzard who has recently come under fire for hiding sexual assault in his company.
U don't tell your company if your doing sexual assaults
The company he helmed fostered an environment of sexual-harassment. I don’t believe there are any sexual-assault allegations.
nobody accused him of hiding it.
This is not accurate
The line 'figure out how to replace the guys we've lost with the money we do have' pretty much sums up the whole moneyball idea.
great point. and the title "moneyball" refers to the fact that the movie involves money and balls as well.
Billly Beane is easily the best GM of this ERA. With a better owner, Oakland would be winning championships every other year.
Alex Anthopolus would counter that!
Dude the A’s are STILL poor. They gotta leave Oakland
Baseball doesn't work that way. So no, they wouldn't, and Beane is an overrated GM who made plenty of bad trades and signings over the course of his tenure. And they weren't exactly a team full of misfit toys like the movie tries to portray. They still had aces in their rotation and guys like Tejada and Chavez to anchor their lineup and an infield that played good defense.
@@paullentz1972 Remember when the Braves got Tim Hudson for Dan Meyer, Juan Cruz, and Charles Thomas? Billy Beane baby!
@@Imperious123Nothing says "overrated" like revolutionizing not just Baseball but Sports in general.
Every GM has bad moves and fucks up but without Billy Beane Oakland wouldn't be nearly as successful.
I love when clips are quiet/normal volume and then there's big obnoxious explosion of the stupid channel at the end...
How I wish the Yankees had Billy Beane instead of Brian Cashman. Can you imagine what Beane could do with half the Yankees payroll.
I forgot Bobby Kotick was in this movie,,, awkward timing now... 😅
"Congratulations asshole you win" That was priceless.
i died at that too because my man Brad Pitt is so priceless classic Brad man and also I use "Congratulations asshole u win" to people I hate and severely don't want anythin to do with my man 🤣🤣
Bobby Kotick (the owner guy) threaten to have a stewards killed fun fact and hes a blight on the video games industry and the source of disgusting amounts of harassment against women
One of the better baseball movies out there. It shows the trend of how baseball is now especially for small market teams and larger market teams trying to play that numbers game. The thing that it comes down to is the trade deadline and luck. Baseball's a special beast.
It's a neutered mess.
I like the sport and the fans in baseball but i really hate the business side from it. It's not fair that teams like the Yankees can pay a single player the entire budget of another team. Competition is not competition when there's a monopoly, it's a well defined fact from Economics. What's the point of even being a fan unless you are from the city where the team comes from. I gave up on it and now just watch it trying to ignore which teams are actually playing.
@@martinAbC So you're still supporting MLB?
@@martinAbC which is why baseball badly needs a cap floor and ceiling. Look at what it’s done for hockey
The term small market is a fallacy, every team is owned by a multi billionaire, they can afford the salaries. They just don’t want to cuz most “small market” owners just want to make money from overpriced ticket sales and concessions
"We need money...and we need balls" *looks directly at the camera and smiles*
Oakland is considered small market? Thought Bay Area was kinda big
Small market baseball salary. San Francisco Giants also cannibalizing Oakland's Bay Area share.
@@RichV20 ah I see.
It’s so stupid how good this movie is
He was a good GM not perfect. If he had such issue with money, why stay in Oakland?
Boston upped it to $7.75 million. Beane had Giami for $7.5 million (wanting $8). Funny how so much in the business of baseball in this scene evolved around a difference of $250,000
well in the scene he says, "you're still playing me." I think they were just using him to up their offer from Boston.
Had Billy Beane gone to Boston, he would have won at least five championships with that level of expertise + the funds to make impact roster moves.
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.
Sports franchises increase in value year on year simply by continuing to exist. David Glass bought the Royals for $96 Million in 2000 and sold them for $1.1 Billion in 2019. They are all great investments, it just depends how much the owners care about winning.
Yea every sports league in the USA gets more and more valuable. Look at Spanos and the Chargers, less fans but worth more.. European Soccer is all owned by hedge funds and straight up foreign governments to whitewash their images. They tried the European Super League for a "rich clubs only" type deal but the public backlash was too much.
The end game is just rich people with teams as part of their portfolio who give next to 0 shits about the sport.
Except that sports teams arent money pits. They’re incredible investments that print money for the owners…
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.
I'm looking for the other clip "Moneyball: We need ball"
It seems like Bobby is not working with Activision anymore.
You know what really sucks about this scene? This is a real team. And this is a true story. And this is exactly how small-market baseball ownership, especially the A’s, operate. “We don’t have any more money” lmao that’s bullshit. Every team has millions to spend. Not everyone is the Yankees, but hey, everyone can at least be maybe the Cardinals?
Every baseball Owner has money it's just a question about how much they care about the team to put it back into the team. A lot of people hate George steinbrenner but nobody can question how much he loved the Yankees.
@@m42679 And that separated him from the CHEAPSKATES in Oakland. Yeah, “The Boss” was a HUGE DOUCHE, but he actually INVESTED in his team.
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.
Bobby Kotick, playing himself, probably
the A’s need new ownership
Every team should have the same cap... That's why nobody likes the Yankees, Red Sox, and dodgers... They overpay and buy championships
well, life's shit, and then you maybe think, we have a deal, and you turn around and is emidiately hit in the face by a donkeys hind legs.
Look at the American making a claim for communism without even noticing! "The times, they are a- changing!" XD
I feel like this same conversation has been had over and over again for the last 30 years in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization...
I'm old enough to remember when the Pirates were a perennial contender.
The quality of the sound in this entire movie is AMAZING!!
This is a perfect reason why some teams will never win a championship let along get to any playoffs in whatever sport and will continue the drought ownership is the problem.
isringhousen went on to be an all star and played 11 more years!
As a former player of Activision Blizzard games and following what is going on with the company and the gross CEO Bobby Kotick...why is this dude in this movie? What a surprise and disappointment.
He's friends with someone in production, the director or producers or something. They were like "Hey, we need a soul-less owner, you down?"
Good question! How about this: Hindsight is 20/20.
Wait I just realized, that’s Bobby Kotick lmao.
Bobby wants to order some death threats before he gets his next bonus in this scene.
He had not lost Damon yet....but he pitched it to the owner that way. :)
Being from the Bay Area, its not a small market. Yet the As are a small market team for some reason.
That conversation sounds like the same conversation in Cleveland with the owner Dolan telling GM Chris Antanetti " Sorry Chris we have no money for any FA to boost our hitting to actually score runs and you will just have to promote some of our minor league prospects" LOL.
Billy Bean should of took John Henry's 12 million and went to Boston and left that cheap Oakland A's GM in his rear view mirror. Lol.
Look at the A's today.... Same old story.
Ironically this still turns out to be exactly true because analytics combined with smart payroll usage allowed midlevel salary teams to actually go further in October and the big spenders were even more efficient with their money.
One of my favorite films.
Brad Pitt was so good in this film
Who’s Bras Pitt?
Brad Pitt Did Not Really Fit This Role And This Role Should Have Gone to Someone Much Less Famous...Still Was a Good Watch Though

Billy drove into San Francisco. Whoever that was he didn't even live/work in Oakland.
It’s pathetic how some owners act you can buy a team, but you can’t afford to field a competitive team you don’t have the money? sell the team.
Love how Billy calls Scott Boras an asshole hit the nail right on the head
Oh man, that is so f**ked up ⚡~ Bummer 🥴~ Tell me about it 😔~ Respectfully 🙏~ Thanks 😊
And the same owner had the gall to express frustration with a struggling season. If you don't fork out the money, it's hard to win.
“what else can I help you with?” That’s what you call a hammer.
In the business world it's called, "Now you can get the fuck out of my office."
the gm was right though, billy found miquel tejada, carlos pena and nick swisher and tons more he found gems with no money
Cinderella runs are built with unconventional thinking and generally are more about playing with passion rather than money.
F Bobby Kotick
Great movie. Great scene. Also encapsulates one reason I don’t like baseball anymore.
Most teams just see this as a means to print money for ownership spending mney to win a championship is irrelevant to them
I wanted to watch this movie, but as soon as I saw one of the worst people I've ever seen, I decided not to watch it.
Brad Pitt interacting with the devil himself.
You often hear the word greed thrown at corporations and CEO's and the like but you never hear the word greed thrown at athletes and entertainers. Johnny Damon going to Boston for $250,000 is pure greed. What's the matter, can't feed your family on a paltry $7.5 million? Tell me that's not greed. It isn't like when Giambi went to the Yankees for $120 million which is about $100 million more than Oakland could afford. It was $250K more.
Damon's a Scott Boras client, and Scott Boras knows that his only job is to get the absolute most money he can for his clients. He's a very good agent and he doesn't deal with cut-rate organizations like the A's if he doesn't absolutely have to.
Yeah but I'd rather win on a small market and be a hero for life than win on a big market team and just be another cog in the assembly line.
@@wildbillwilmoth98 Oakland is not a small market. Oakland is one of two baseball teams in the Bay Area.
The Bay Area is the eighth-largest media market in North America. The only reason Oakland is a "small market" baseball team is because their owner chooses to be. Because he doesn't want to spend money to improve the on-field product.
@@katherineberger6329 So the Braves are also in there same with the Astros. I guess so. But if the club was a big market team the owner would be a billionaire and be able to spend money. I know he's hard headed and stuff but come on so the the A's are the Mets before Cohen.
@@wildbillwilmoth98 Why do you think Twins fans are so pissed off at the Pohlads? The Pohlad Companies have billions of dollars in market cap and the Pohlad family themselves have a net worth of $4.6 billion, the fifth-richest owners in baseball, and they spend consistently average to below-average payroll on the Twins every year.
@@katherineberger6329 Yeah some owners are stubborn and don't want to spend money. Some markets are more attractive to spend on than others. I hate that's the way but regional bias is a real son of a gun.
A's owners is to make money. They can never lose money owning a MLB franchise.
Look at that stadium. Could have and should have rebuilt long ago
Ac milan market strategy 2023, colorized:
It is short-sighted and inaccurate to use the term "unfair" as they so often do. Here we have an open acknowledgement that management could have invested more money, and everybody knows it, but they simply declined to do so. They made a business decision to go with a lower budget and live with that. That is their business decision.
Biggest irony
The owner of the team bases his business out of his biggest financial rivals city (sf). How can you not be based out of your own city and expect to be a moneymaker???
He should have gone to Boston.
In Europe there are teams on 5 mil payroll running against clubs on 120 mil. Sooo it could always be worse :D
