How the Moneyball A's outsmarted an entire sport

- How do you build a top-level baseball team with a bottom-level budget? This is the problem that Billy Beane, Sandy Alderson, and the rest of the Oakland A's were trying to solve in the late 90's. The result was Moneyball--a strategy that turned into a slew of division championships, a best-selling book, AND a blockbuster movie.
But how did it work?

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!!
This channel has a ton of growth in front of it. Great work!
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.
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.
Super underrated baseball page. Rly good content, man.
You videos are incredible, so glad that I found them
Great video, 👑
Money ball is so fucking good, just as a movie. Brad can act his fucking ass off
Well done.
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.
You really create great content!
great video even though i know nothing in baseball😅
Omg what a well made video, get those views dawg
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
Well done

Calling Moneyball a netflix docu is crazy
Ortiz hit in front of Manny 🤔🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
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.
Rebuilding is a poor man’s strategy. Your team is a playoff contender but never a title contender.
