"Moneyball" (2011): Do you believe in chubby's theory?

Like a war movie, a movie that makes men's blood is a sports movie. Whether it is football, basketball, rugby, or boxing and wrestling, it will bring men's masculinity. like a power call.

Without the display of football skills on the green field, the film puts more emphasis on the outside of the field. Like "Devil United", the protagonists in the film are actually two people, and Pete's performance is as always, but the performance of the chubby is remarkable. point. In this unfair confrontation between the rich and the poor, Pitt's turnaround relies on the theory of Fatty, who graduated from Yale University in economics, and Fatty's theory can be put into practice and verified by Pitt's courage and fearlessness .

For me, who has never watched baseball but is a seasoned fan, here is the theory of reverse investing in sports competition: "Run this club with very little money, and use complex computer programs to analyze the game data, make the ball The team has won one victory after another, and even has the ability to compete with the famous New York Yankees in the market." Not only has it subverted the thinking of American sports management, but also has been a sports fan. A challenge to our conventional thinking. In the face of the turbulent arena, you can use scientific and meticulous data analysis and modeling to evaluate players, interpret the game, and even win every game. Has an explosive effect.

I do not deny that questioning the technological content of sports competitions, but such a miraculous winning formula is still staggering. If the qualitative formula for the analysis of player cost performance in the film is established, then the major clubs, including managers, coaches, and scouts, will save a lot of energy. Everything seems to be under control, but it has lost the unpredictable charm of sports competition!
