Agreed. That's all I was saying. You said nothing in that book says motion picture, I added, or winning. Simple.Originally Posted by Nowitness41Dirk
I don't think anybody ever said Moneyball = Championships. Ever.
Can you say that, though, when their best players are homegrown?Originally Posted by CP1708

It's alright, I know it has it's values and what not, I don't deny that, but it's not as if teams can just trot out numeric kings that get on base alot, or play great D, or throw the most amount of pitches that end up in ground balls, and they're just going to beat teams with 200 million dollar payrolls.
Is it useful to compete, and make up some of the difference? Yes, sure it can. But go out and win big off it? Naw, I don't buy that. Yanks don't win cuz of moneyball. Phillies don't win cuz of moneyball. I'm just not a full believer is all.
And I mean, the damn creator of it has done what really? Couple nice seasons, make it to the first round, maybe the ALCS, and then bow out once the elite teams get there. That's just swell.
