Grady lays it on the line and tells Billy, "anybody who uses computers doesn't know a damn thing about the game...", because Grady thinks Billy is making a mistake rebuilding Oakland Athletics with ball players that are typically not chosen by trusted scouting methods. 

Moneyball (2011)
Brad Pitt, as Billy Bean.



I only read the book, homoe, so from what I remember about the book, it might be the same thing as the Big Little Lies (Moriarty, HBO series). I dunno, I'd have to reread the book.

But hey, what a fantastic movie!!
WOW, who knew a quote could be exactly the same in two movies!

The quote I used was from the movie Trouble With The Curve and it was a scene between John Goodman and Clint Eastwood! I can't state exactly how far into the movie when the quote occurs but that was the movie I was quoting or thought I was quoting I should say........
