If everything can be saved [Viewing Notes]

1. Billy knows what the purpose of the team is, not to find which player is good, and then to buy him at the most suitable and affordable price, but to win and win. We will always forget our ultimate goal, and run to achieve a small goal, in fact, they are just smoke bombs, and what you don't know is that to reach the end, you can take a purer path.
Are there always people doing things that put the cart before the horse?

2. What Billy can't forget is what happened to him 20 years ago. People all over the world told him that he is the star of tomorrow. He was bought at a high price, but he couldn't hit a ball for several years in a row. What about his five abilities? What about his potential? This is a game, not a game of his own, not a billy show, but a team confrontation.

He may have discovered the essence of victory from his own tragedy. It is clear that they want a championship ending, not a baseball star like giambi. What if one is missing, they can use the other three to fill it up. This is one Zhang Ju, filling up is still a victory.

He really didn't want this kind of tragedy to happen to others.
The mistakes made 20 years ago never faded out of his life. He had already got an offer to Stanford. So he didn't want to watch the live broadcast anymore.

3. Why do I love this kind of feature film that uses games to support the entire story structure? . . . . Going to embark on a road of no return. .

4. "I made one decision in my life based on money. And I swore I never do it again."

It's so weird. Billy's mood can actually be described by lenka's the show.
Perhaps the failure 20 years ago made me never able to use anything to fill that missing piece.
"He hit a home run, but he still doesn't know." You have done well enough, and the rest, it's time to let go, just enjoy the show.

Moneyball quotes

  • [after the A's lose a game, Billy hears funk music coming from the players' locker room. Irritated, he walks in to see Jeremy Giambi dancing on a table and other players having a good time. Billy takes a baseball bat and smashes the stereo playing music, startling the players and stopping the music]

    Billy Beane: [to Giambi] Get down. Is losing fun?

    [no answer]

    Billy Beane: Is losing fun?

    Jeremy Giambi: No.

    Billy Beane: Then what are you having fun for?

    [Billy throws the baseball bat where it hits a set of weights making a long, loud crashing noise]

    Billy Beane: [points to that area] That is what losing sounds like.

  • Billy Beane: If he's a good hitter, why doesn't he hit good?
