Insights from numbers

Rating: 10/10 (8 February 2020)

While certainly a great movie about the game of baseball, there are so many valuable insights as well relating to the creative way that patterns can be detected by stepping back and observing the picture that numbers can draw out for us. In many of those instances we are able to confirm what seems so obvious, yet in some cases it helps us to think about what is really at the heart of something. With Moneyball, it's about "Get on base", and however that might happen... a player who's good at seeing balls versus strikes, a player who's good at stealing bases, a player who gets more singles than doubles or triples. The cast is amazing, and the story timeless. A must see!
