00:33Your goal shouldn't be to buy players. Your goal should be to buy wins. And in order to buy wins,
00:39you need to buy runs.
00:40Who are you? I'm Peter Brand. First job in baseball? It's my first job anywhere.
00:46We're going to shake things up. Why don't you walk me through the board?
00:49I believe there's a championship team that we can afford because everyone else undervalues them. Like an island of misfit
00:54toys.
00:56We want you at first base. I've only ever played catcher.
00:59It's not that hard, Scott. Tell him to watch. It's incredibly hard.
01:02He can't throw. But what can he do?
01:05You want me to speak? We're not pointing to you yet.
01:08He gets on base.
01:09We are card counters at the blackjack table. We're going to turn the odds on the casino.
01:14I'm heading in. Text me to play by play.
01:16Wait, what?
01:17I don't watch the games.
01:23Billy Bean has tried to reinvent a system that's been working for years.
01:30There was a nice theory, just not working out.

01:37He's proven himself right out of a job.
01:41In their minds, it's threatening the game. It's threatening the way that they do things.
01:45Hey, Daddy, do you think you'll lose your job?
01:47What? Wait, did you hear that?
01:49I like go on the internet sometimes.
01:51Don't go on the internet.
01:52Watch TV or talk to people.
01:54You're discounting what scouts have done for 150 years.
01:59What the hell am I doing?
02:03What is happening at Oakland?
02:05It defies everything we know about baseball.
02:07Just playing crazy.
02:11If we win with this team, we'll change the game.
02:21It's better work.
02:24I'm just kidding.
