  • My dears, Beane (Brad Pitt), despite his superstitions, joins a game in progress upon learning of its positive turn on the radio. Despite the team's initial challenges, they secure a victory, courtesy of Hatteberg's (Chris Pratt) walk-off home run.
    🎞️WATCH Moneyball NOW: AAN.SonyPictures.com/Moneyball
    🎬Moneyball (2011): Billy Beane (Brad Pitt), general manager of the Oakland A's, one day has an epiphany: Baseball's conventional wisdom is all wrong. Faced with a tight budget, Beane must reinvent his team by outsmarting the richer ball clubs. Joining forces with Ivy League graduate Peter Brand (Jonah Hill), Beane prepares to challenge old-school traditions. He recruits bargain-bin players whom the scouts have labeled as flawed, but have game-winning potential. Based on the book by Michael Lewis.

    One thing that very rarely gets the appreciation that it deserves is audio work. The random shifts in sounds, the cut outs, all showing perfectly a team off balance and slipping away from their achievement. Then the hit. Masterfully done.

    Crazy thing is, this moment kind of goes against Billy and Pete's entire philosophy. They didn't sign Scott H. because he was known for slamming homers, they got him because he was cheap enough for their budget and his on-base percentage calculated well into their model.
    Scotty H. knocking it out of the park for a walk-off record-breaking home run was not the plan. It was a miracle moment, and it proves that despite the massive success of their sabermetric approach to building a team and earning wins by math and statistical analysis, sometimes it does boil down down to one individual getting the magic hit at the right moment.

      I don't think that's entirely right. Even when someone only occasionally hits HRs, his rate of hitting HRs, low though it might be, still adds value. IOW though some stats are weighed more heavily than others, all a player's stats go into evaluating his value to a team.

      The movie was about what you said - success in a 162 game season vs success of the team to win the last game of the season. Billy was trying to use a method to get BOTH, and ultimately when money is the limiting factor he realized that he couldn't get both, but he could get moments like these ones, and moments with his daughter.

    I vividly remember sitting in the movie theater watching this film. It was during its first week. At 4:32 when Hatteberg hit that ball, in the silence following the crack of the bat, the entire audience in that theater let out one loud collective gasp. It was like sitting in the stands at an actual baseball game. I actually thought they were about to start cheering.
    To this day that is one of my favorite moviegoing moments. And it was such a feel-good moment.

      You're played for a reason. Some guys get on base, some guys can lay down a bunt, one guy just completely owns that particular pitcher. Everyone has their role to play, even in a specific situation. But at any given time, a player can have "that moment". Their bat's a little quicker. Their legs a little faster. Their reach an inch longer. It can just be that moment. It can last an inning or a round, a game, even a day. That moment they do incredible things they wouldn't normally be able to do. Their shine moment.
      Anyone who ever played any sport, plays for that moment. Where, for a brief bit of time in their life, they touch greatness.

Eddie Murray came to the plate in the first and the entire stadium stood up and booed him because he was soo good. He promptly hit a home run. Next time up we all stood and booed him again and he promptly hit another home run. Third time up we all stood and booed…….same result was Eddie hitting a home run. He came to bat in the ninth inning and we all stood up as the score was 18-1 and we all stood up and cheered the man for such a great accomplishment! The whole stadium cheered Eddie Murray and he hit a triple that was one foot from going out. What a game I’ll never forget! Final score Orioles 19-Angels 1.

    Never noticed until now…when Brad Pitt turns around to look at the tv, first he’s staring at it, then he starts to look up - a sign that the ball went high and far.

      Watched it ‘live’ on tv. I was so pissed when KC tied the game. I almost turned it off. So felt like the As were toast and I didn’t want to watch. But I had to see the train wreck complete its path. Everyone was thinking bunt or walk. Get a runner on 1st… then there was a huge crack of the bat. Are you kidding me. It was surreal.

    Is it possible that Brad Pitt’s acting is still not quite fully appreciated? I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love this film and none of us know or care anything about baseball, just sports and good movies. In fact, I can’t even really think of any bad Pitt movies, so many bangers.

    Most interesting thing about this movie: it was easier to teach pro baseball players how to act than to teach pro actors how to play baseball. As a result a bunch of the players in the movie are not actors but actual professional ball players.
