Oakland A's General Manager Brad Pitt adopts the statistical approach of a young mathematician to put together a new team with little money. He ostracizes long-time scouts and most of the fans, but when the team starts winning he starts to think maybe they can go all the way to the World Series. A surprisingly intelligent "sports" oriented movie, although Pitt's character can be somewhat aloof. The constant product placement is also distracting.
