Moneyball (2011) Soundboard Edit

A nice cushion, but you don't wanna give teams life

Age, appearance, personality.

And a pretty impressive apprenticeship.

And anyone but Mags first out of the pen.

And Damon will coast into second base with a leadoff double.

And determine whether he's really confident about what he can do.

And I don't know why

And if I say it to anybody, I'm ostracized. I'm a leper.

And once he becomes confident, that's when you've got something.

And Pena's going too. I don't think you should do that.

And that's the sound of 14 straight victories.

And the 3 2 delivery.

And the A's date with destiny is on hold right now.

And we've got at least one other suitor.

And you're gonna do the best job that you can recruiting new players.

And, Grady, can you interpret for us what's going on?

Are those my only two options?

Are you okay, Dad?

As Oakland beats them in the beginning of this series 5 to 3.

Ball one to Johnny Damon and we are under way.

Barry, not a discussion.

Base hit to right field. Tejada scores.

Baseball thinking is medieval.

Bases loaded.

Be social out there.

Because everyone else in baseball undervalues them.

Because Jeremy's gonna do what he never does.

Because we expect him to be our big league center fielder.

Been on the job long? First job in baseball?

Billy, his legs are gone, and he's a defensive liability.

Billy, that is Kevin Youkilis. That is the Greek God of Walks.

Billy, this is Chad Bradford. He's a relief pitcher.

Billy. You gotta carry the one.

But right now, Art Howe is the reason this team is winning.

Can we go over there?

Chad, are you intimidated at all today?

Chavez coming in. The ball gets past Guiel.

Coffee on? Yes.

Congratulations, asshole. You win.

Could this be about your contract? No.

Damon has eight hits in 18 at bats,

Deal with the manager's contract, then put a team on the field.

Don't. To anyone.

Exactly. Ten years ago, Justice, big name.

Excuse me?

For the first time since 1992.

For the Oakland A's.

Get Shapiro on.

Go field some grounders. Yes, sir.

Go on.

Great.

Hatteberg. Hattie.

Having the scholarship...

He can play.

He drives it, it pops off the bat.

He gets comps up and down Vegas more than in Oakland.

He gets on base. He can get on base.

He looks like a Mantle or a Mays, quite frankly.

He sounds like an Oakland A already.

He was in fact a security guard at a pork and beans company.

He'll be ready for spring ball. I'll tell you what.

He's got a beautiful swing. The ball explodes off his bat.

He's supportive in rebuilding this team.

He's tried to come up with a new approach.

Hello? Hey, it's Billy Beane.

Here, wanna have a seat? Yeah.

Hey, Dad, this is the song I told you I'd record.

Hey, I'm not disturbing you, am I? Not at all. What's up?

Hey.

Hi, Mr. Schott, it's Peter Brand. I apologize for putting you on hold.

His mind's pretty made up. I just think you should know that.

Holy Toledo.

How are you? I'm good.

How do you explain, otherwise, the victories they've come up with?

How do you know? Not my first baseball game.

How you doing? Good, how you doing, man?

Huddy. Mix it up. Yes, sir.

I can't develop personal relationships with these guys.

I can't figure it out It's bringing me down

I don't know where to go Can't do it alone, I've tried

I don't know. I don't know.

I don't need to watch. Joe, leave it on.

I feel good. Um...

I just told Bruce I like Garcia. You like Garcia. Why?

I like guys that got a little hair on their ass.

I love you. Love you too.

I really don't think you should do that.

I think it's gonna be a hard no on Garcia, but let's just keep going.

I think the question we should be asking is,

I think this is a steal, to get Billy Beane.

I wanna milk the last ounce of baseball you got in you.

I want you to stock my machine for three years.

I'm a fool, out of love

I'm done.

I'm gonna be praying for you and your family.

I'm hopeful your interest in professional baseball

I'm just a little bit Caught in the middle

I'm not in it for a ring.

I'm not leaving here. I'm not I can't leave here with that.

I'm not. I just don't know what you're gonna do

I'm serious.

I'm special assistant to Mark Shapiro.

If there was, could we afford him? Nope.

If you keep doing what you're doing.

In 103 years of American League baseball,

In a way that I can explain in job interviews next winter.

In which case I'm a 44 year old guy with a high school diploma

In your price range? No disrespect. Enough, Mark.

It rolls by Spencer.

It's a real clean stroke. I don't know. Can't hit the curveball.

It's been a while since I've seen a five tool guy that can do everything.

It's everything. If there was one thing you could pick out, you'd try to fix it,

It's gone! It's gone! Tejada wins it! Do you believe it?

It's not that hard, Scott.

It's taken 71 years.

Jason takes it, goes to second for the only out, and the A's get a run.

Last couple times, he got hammered. Not his fault.

Let me ask you a question. Yeah.

Let me get this straight

Let's go, Oakland!

Man alive, was it hairy.

Mark is ready to see you now.

Mark, Billy. Let's be honest.

More? Yeah, a little more.

Mr. Justice.

Never seen a GM talk to players like that.

Nice to meet you.

No, I meant what women wear with... You know, decorative.

No?

No? No.

No. Why not?

Nobody out, the bases loaded.

Not now. What's the reason for the slump?

Nothing.

Now, what we might be able to do is re create him.

Oh, sorry, yeah. I just talked to her on her cell. She's coming up the hill.

Oh, you're special?

Okay, let's move on.

Okay, that'll work.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. Let me Hold on one second, please.

On our budget, with this team...

Outfielders.

Pena is not only the best first baseman,

Pete, we lost.

Please don't show it to anyone else.

Please stop worrying about your dad

Really, what it's threatening is their livelihood, their jobs

Scott Hatteberg can't hit. He gets on base.

Scott Hatteberg is so adept at drawing walks.

Shit. Foul off the foot of Ibanez...

So do you have any ideas?

Some do, some don't.

Sometimes cut them.

Stop. I got Johnny for 7.5 or he doesn't play anywhere else.

Suzanne, get Shapiro on the phone.

Talking, "la la la la la," like this is business as usual

That one is gone!

That the New York Mets would be making to Billy.

That they're worth it.

That's all fine and well, but we've been working our asses off

That's Pete.

That's the one to worry about.

That's what I do, what you pay me to do.

That's what losing sounds like.

The 1906 White Sox,

The 1927 Yankees, Ruth, Gehrig,

The A's are kicking it and throwing it all over the field

The Mets are gonna stand behind Billy

The Oakland A's are completely out of hand at the moment.

There is an epidemic failure within the game

There's no problem. Okay.

They are asking all the wrong questions.

They have been here before,

They have their hands on the switch,

They're going for the all time American League record,

They're making a joke out of the American League.

They're professional ballplayers. Just be straight with them.

This is a great sign for the New York Mets.

This is your basic breakdown of the pitches,

This must be a bit of a shock, I guess

Twenty years ago, some scout got it wrong.

Two out. Runners at first and third.

Two.

Uh, yeah, a daughter.

Wait, that doesn't come out right. It's right, Artie.

Was it bumpy? It was okay.

Watching the Boston Red Sox win the World Series.

We gotta have the funk

We're going to 20! We're going to 20!

We're going to 20! We're gonna take the AL record to 20, baby!

We're not gonna pay $17 million to players.

We're very aware of the problem. I mean

Well, absolutely. It was predictable.

Well, honey, I think people would love to listen to you. That's beautiful.

Well, I didn't actually expect you to pick up.

Well, in that circumstance,

Well, uh... Well...

What are you afraid of?

What happened in there?

What I see is...

What is happening in Oakland? The A's have won seven in a row.

What the hell am I doing?

What?

What? Welcome to Oakland, D.J.

When you're swinging low and away, you're batting. 158.

Where it could get out of control for the Athletics.

Which one?

Who, as you know, is scared to run to second base

Why does Mark listen to you?

Why would you do that? Because I'm amazing.

With a run scoring single here in the opening inning.

With a win today over the Twins, Oakland moves into the ALCS

With who we know that can play?

Yeah.

You agree with this?

You can hit with power.

You don't have to worry.

You get on base, we win. You don't, we lose

You got kids?

You spend a lot of time at strip clubs, partying.

You won the exact same number of games that the Yankees won,

You're a premium player, Billy.

You're cutting me? I'm really sorry.

You're doing it for what the money says.

You're funny, Pete.

You're in last place, Dad.

You're worrying about me.
