Beyond the stats and the rising success of the A's, Moneyball is about the players that land up with the As. One such subplot is about Scott Hatterburg (played by Chris Pratt in an understated performance) who has nerve damage. He's about to be out of baseball with no means to support his family.
Comparing Moneyball to Remember the Titans is like apples and oranges. Remember the Titans is a fantastic film with messages about coming together despite racism for a common goal. It's a story about growing as people. Moneyball, is a story focused on the strategy within the game of baseball.
It's a baseball movie for people that don't love baseball. It's a great movie, but the "reasons" that athletics team was so great is never brought up and gives the impression that Hattaberg, Rincon, and chad Bradford are what made this team so great. Still such a good movie

The Mighty Rio Grande and It’s A Process were quite literally used to perfection throughout the course of this film. They built up the underdog vibe really well, making every single viewer connect with the Oakland Athletics on a level that many of us thought to be impossible. The soundtrack behind any film is always an incredibly underrated part of...
Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill were obviously at the forefront of this movie in their respective roles as Billy Beane and Peter Brand. Beane was able to see something in Brand when he was visiting the Cleveland Indians and the rest, as they say, is history. This felt like a project that both of these men were legitimately passionate about and that defini...
From scene to scene there were quite a few moments that flew under the radar, with one of the most notable examples being the trade scenes between Beane and Brand. The trade of Carlos Pena and Jeremy Giambi seemed to be a defining moment in their time in the job, but as time went on and we made our way through to the trade deadline, they really did...
Chad Bradford & David Justice are two of the many examples of the misfits that made up the A’s team back in the day. They brought together players from every corner of the baseball world, and somehow, it worked out perfectly – well, almost perfectly. Instead of trying to assemble the sort of super team that would walk their way to the World Series,...
Every single detail has been thought out and every single element of the game has been taken into account in more ways than we can imagine. It really does emphasize why Peter Brand is so overwhelmingly important to this movie, and they really did change the game of baseball. When the Boston Red Sox went on to win the World Series for the first time...
The role of Scott Hatteberg was played brilliantly by Chris Pratt, and his journey back to the top was really enticing to watch. The vulnerable nature of his character always kept us guessing, mainly because we didn’t really know whether he’d turn out to be a success in Oakland.

Billy Beane finally decides to go and watch a game live in the flesh with the Athletics riding a superb 11-0 lead against the Kansas City Royals. Somehow, though, they managed to let it slip and allow Kansas City to work themselves back into the game at 11-11. Then, in what was arguably the highlight of their entire season, Scott Hatteberg hit the ...
It’s established fairly quickly that Billy has a special relationship with his daughter Casey, from their loving conversations to her love of singing and playing the guitar. Throughout the whole film, it feels like Casey is always on Billy’s shoulder guiding him in the right direction. Even when we see the final shot of Moneyball, Billy has the tho...
The Oakland Athletics really did have one of the most remarkable seasons in the history of sports in North America. While the creative direction of proceedings may have forged a few new ideas along the way, the core of the piece remained intact. The writing, acting and end product felt real, and that’s because it was. RELATED: 10 Best Sports Movies...
Billy Beane received an offer of $12.5 million to become the new general manager of the Boston Red Sox. He initially didn’t seem interested, then he received the offer and seemingly was, and then he decided to stay in Oakland. He didn’t see this as an opportunity to cash in and earn lots of cash. He had a vision for how to change baseball for the b...
