Baseball

Baseball culture is absolutely kino..

Every baseball movie is 10000000xs better than any football movie

>>82986239
This. I'm glad someone finally had the balls to say it.

>>82986239
I want to know which approach to baseball is right:
a) mathematic (Moneybol)
b) traditional (Eastwood)

>>82986090
Never saw trouble with the curve is it any good?

>>82986271
How many World Series do the A's have under Billy Bean?

>>82986239
Baseball culture is childish and retarded.

t. ESPN

Baseball at least doesn't fine players for celebrating like the NFL does. The players police it themselves.

>>82986271
A little of both. Moneyball gave new ways to grade players, but you still need to see how players act with your eyes. Some shit may work out over 162 games, but fail in a 5 game series.

Major League 1 > Field of Dreams > Moneyball > Sandlot > Major League 2

Mommy Adams is there, so yes

Why is Kevin Costner in so many baseball films?

I don't even understand the rules of baseball but baseball movies make me wish I was American. They're very comfy. Another great one is Eight Men Out.

Also I wish people like Costner were still popular, the quiet ordinary decent man archetype of Stewart and Capra, Fonda and Ford. Hollywood has gone full liberal degenerate, nothing but Weimar culture garbage.

I have a qstion:
do you have hooligans in America? like Brits or Poles? pic rel

>>82987013
No. Though the faggots that watch the MLS try to glorify hooliganism because they are obsessed with copying euro soccer culture

>>82987083
holy fuck how can they be that dumb. although civilised countries have put end to hooligans. also the worst are balkans (serbia, albania and shit), russians, turkey and poles

I watch a lot of football but never any baseball. Just couldn't get into it. I prefer baseball movies to football movies though.

Except for this one, which is probably my favorite sports related movie / documentary. Focused on a man who played both.

I agree. I'd like to get into baseball more so I could get into some baseball 30 for 30s. This one was hard to watch being a Cleveland fan but it's still really good. Talks about all pro sports in Cleveland and how they were void of any Championships for like, 30+ years, earning them the label 'the factory of sadness'.

>>82986090
Moneyball was an okay story turned into a shit book. I've avoided trouble with the curve because of timberlake. The trailer made him seem like an integral member of the cast and I absolutely am not going to make the mistake of watching him ruin another movie.

>tfw go watch Kershaw or Trout every week

Enjoy Trout while you've got him, he'll be a Yankee in a couple years

>>82989884
>Implying the Yankees will have enough money for Trout, Machado, and Harper

>>82989936
how much money does the biggest baseball star cost?
for ex. soccer star pogba is 100 millions

>>82989936

Harper's going to the Rangers

dunno about Machado, the O's have a good enough team to win a chip, Nats too but not under Dusty Baker and not with their Bullpen

Timbarlake and Eastwood in the same movie? How weird. I'll watch it later maybe.

>>82989979
Currently? Giancarlo Stanton is making 325million on a 12 year contract.

>>82989979
Bryce Harper is arguably the one of the two best players in baseball right now (next to Mike Trout), and he's expected to get a 10 year/$400 million contract when he hits free agency next winter. That's not including endorsements.
>>82989993
>Rangers overpaying for a star player
A-Rod shows that the Rangers are incapable of that. I doubt the O's will be able to keep Machado because his price tag will be too steep.

>>82989979
Current contracts can hit $30-35 million a year for 8-10 years. These are for the guys who are truly elite, top 5 at their position.

>>82990266
well I am not telling about making money, I am thinking about the transfer fee.
For ex. your contract hasn't expired yet and some team wants you desperately. They must pay monniez to the other team.

>>82990322
MLB doesn't have transfer fees like Soccer does. When a team wants a star player, they usually give up their top prospects in their minor league systems for the player. They'll then take on the rest of the contract for that player, unless there's a stipulation stating that the player's previous team will help pay

hey, do you have something like Football Manager game, but for the baseball? You know, managing team, taking care of finances, getting players, hiring staff, etc

not actually playing as a team but as a manager

>>82990648

I know that Hockey does, but I don't think they have a baseball one yet.

ITT: very nice and cultural discussion about movies and sport (baseball).
Literally impossible to discuss like that with NFL supporters.

>>82990648
For manager and front office simulation baseball has the OOTP series.

I keep a baseball bat in my car just in case someone road rages at me and a lawyer friend told me to keep my glove in the car too so it would be easier to get off if I got sued for hitting someone with the bat

>>82993000
um. how would that prevent you from getting sued? I don't think your "lawyer friend" thought that one through.

>>82994608
I didn't say it would prevent it. Apparently a good lawyer can spin a bat and glove as a couple of things in the car for recreational purposes but if it's just a bat then it's harder to argue that it wasn't in the car for weapon purposes

moneyball is the best baseball movie of all time, sorry friends

Checked. Yeah the scouts who are old dudes that Billy is in opposition to are 2dimensional as fuck, and makes for a gigantic glaring flaw of the film. They should've been more like Phillip Seymour Hoffman's character. Otherwise I fucking love it. Standout scenes like "is losing fun?"
