2014 Offseason Plans Thread

Best part of Major League is when Lou Brown chastises Dorn for not getting in front of the ball, that part always made me think of PADMY

I like when Dorn is bitching about what's not in his contract. Lou throws his contract on the ground and pisses on it.

Evil Monster?
I didn't take it that far...I think it was more about the Father/Daughter thing

Amy Adams again.

I liked it, it just showed there is a balance between the two

I'm all about statistics, but even I realize there is a human element to it all

Decent way to summarize it.

Amy Adams again.

She's fantastic

Metrics >>>> the eye test.

There will always be Scouts though. Plenty of room for both in the game

 

[lainey12]

8 men out is also pretty damn good too.

I was a little dissapointed in that, but yeah it wasn't horrible
and I think Shoeless Joe was innocent

Sure, not arguing that. Just saying metrics are not to be cast asunder.

I love a ton of baseball movies. I don't know if I have a clear cut favorite but I'd probably go with Bull Durham.

Other baseball movies worth noting to me:

The Sandlot
61
major league 1 & 2
the natural
field of dreams
eight men out
bad news bears

I'm sure there's a bunch more but these are what come to mind immediately.

Kinda like what I love about JD and how the organization is handling the side between old school and the new school with metrics. They definitely take a holistic approach which is the way it should be I think.

Admittedly I haven't seen it which is why I didn't include it but I have heard good things about it.

A League of Their Own


"I especially liked the part in the 4th inning where you scratched your balls for an hour. Well I do what I can."

 

[jta4437]

Nobody said Moneyball haha

Angels in the Outfield

Dude no freakin joke I was going to put that on my list but didn't know how the reaction would be. I loved the movie when it came out and I saw it again maybe a year or so ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. I mean it is what it is right?

Other ones that I liked back in the day at least was Little Big League and Rookie of the year.

And yes it is a chick flick but it was a really good one but for love of the game was good too IMO.

Hate the glorification of Billy Beane and the A's but movie wise it was really really good.

For the Love of the Game was actually good, and certainly had a good amount of baseball "Clear the Mechanism"

Been years since I seen these but Cobb and The Babe were somewhat ok. If I saw them again now not sure I would like them but when I saw them they were watchable from what I remember.
