Rigo also shows he's a pretty well-grounded kid too...he says 'it's just a game'. Gentry was so rapped up in getting endorsements and he became a jerk to top it all off - he lost sight and the 'freshness' of playing the game. Love the story and how it shoes so much goes into forming a top notch athlete. In real-life a Gentry would get dropped in a heart beat once a Rigo-like player comes along...
Exactly. Let me put this in perspective. If I moved to China and just did a couple cartwheels for fun. And my form was unexpectedly good. And the daughter of some Chinese government gymnastics agent invited me to Olympic camp. And he put me up against THE best gymnast of that generation. And then I destroyed him/her?...Try again, Hollywood. Can't play the "uninitiated minority" card forever...Get new writers/politics!
This is the best scene in the whole movie; and despite people disagreeing with me I believe there are kids who are missed. I knew a Canadian guy who pushed and went to tryouts and pushed colleges--got accepted at a US college and was drafted. No he didn't make it to the big club but this story stops with the guy being offered a contract---that's all.
I love this scene. TH-cam knows it and sends it to me every now and then. The point here for me is the eyes of Rigo. He knows this is the moment of his life where he is in front of an open door. Whether he becomes a pro player or not is not the idea of this movie, is about the point in your life when you face your future. Amy, Clint and the others too. But it's Rigo who plays the talented new guy facing his future in this scene. That's why i love it.
uh, wasn't it the T-2000 sequel who got p*ssed?! LOL! Seriously though...I don't care what movie I watch, that guy will always be the staredown Terminator in Terminator 2! I guess that's a compliment on how well he played the role!
NYG1991 I just stumbled across this movie overnight and I wonder how I missed it in the theatres. Lots of actors with name recognition - Justin Timberlake is in it and does a decent job. I am crazy about Amy Adams and of course Clint Eastwood holds his own. There are other actors rounding out the list so how did I miss this...maybe not enough publicity from the movie team? Maybe (GASP!) it's an actual story that doesn't revolve around pure sex. Yes, there's a love story in the movie but it's not front in center. This movie has everything that movie a good movie a 'good' movie and that scene at the end with 'Peanutboy' was just amazing. I am not familiar with the person who played Rigoberto but he did a fantastic job!
Fast forward a year later and the Braves have the 2nd best record in the National League and are primed to return to the playoffs again after a 5 year drought. As a fan of your former playoff rival, good luck.
Seen this b4 in 1984 with THE NATURAL... when he lead character bats like a boss and pitches so good that his fastball breaks the netting behind home plate...
I like this movie. Yeah, it has all the cliche bits to it, but I like it. My wife and I, the first time we saw it, figured the latino kid would factor into the plot. But, all the usual plot lines aside, it is still just a fun movie to watch to kill some time.
all i have to say analytics is so important now if this was real life they would have easily known that gentry cant hit a curve with analytics this is a backwards movie analytics is here to stay in baseball
Actually as a guy who played and starred a bit I H.S. and then played pony ball (wooden bats) after H.S., I'd like to point out that analytics are almost useless in scouting H.S. kids..you really do need a scouts eye because the talent in H.S. varies so much...and then you have the whole metal vs wooden bat thing, which if you know anything about baseball, is often the determining factor in a kid not making it to the next level.
Want to get this on dvd...............................................................................................................................................................................................small thing as THIS vid clip from DNC is the only one working, on that L.A. Speed Check, I came to see it as the thumbnail LOOKS like a jet approaching a Stargate from the tv show. HAD to see it. Funny as heck, upthumbed, like this clip is also, and just wonder ifthat REALLY happened. Just want it to, and with Stargate in mind had the thought of O ' N e i two "l"s or a Cameron Mitchell in a 302 calling in and touching the hyperdrive for a nudge.
armst012 Well I'm pretty sure it's because the way his pitches break and the speed. Johnson's slider was a nasty son of a gun. Here Bo knows what's coming but he can't even the touch the breaking ball. But all that aside that's Hollywood for ya
For that Gentry guy, couldn't they have found someone who at least kind of looks like a Major League Baseball player. That guy they picked clearly doesn't!
steve Fowler True!! So overlooked. Perhaps because it is about the values that make America great and didn't fit in with the idiots trying to destroy her.
I liked this movie and thought this was a great ending scene (almost ending), but it obviously took "dramatic license", others have commented on it's lack of realism but I haven't heard anyone state what struck me was the entire idea of an unproven kid being allowed to pitch at their brand new 1st round pick...that wouldn't happen in a million years in MLB...they spent a boat load of money on "Bo" and wouldn't expose him to injury by an unknown pitching talent...but again it was a movie and made for great drama...again, overall I thought it was a very good movie.
He was brought in by a legendary scout who discovered chipper jones and this is the braves franchise of course they’d trust this guys judgement and his daughters.
So, yada, yada This is not the way that Major league teams try out pitching prospects, but this is a GREAT scene! The hitter is a dick, the team scout is an a**hole, the old scout's DAUGHTER finds the great pitching prospect. I can watch this scene MANY times and still get a kick out of it!!
It's ridiculous that they had to cast such a pudgy guy as the top prospect. Yes, I realize that a lot of people are pointing out that baseball has been full of great players who weren't in the best condition, but the movie itself isn't trying to make a "looks can be deceiving" point. I mean come on, the guy gets hyped as a "five tool player!" Nobody who looks like that is going to blaze their way around the basepaths. It was lazy casting and that's all. There's absolutely no reason why they couldn't have hired an athletic, 6'5 Kris Bryant type. It's also an insult to Koufax that Rigo would immediately be compared to him after a couple of pitches. It wasn't even a scrimmage, much less anything that resembled actual game conditions. You just don't do that. It's like declaring that somebody who had a nice dunk or fade away is like Michael Jordan after 10 seconds of seeing them on a court.
Gee, a pitcher in MLB striking out some dead pull hitter....now there's a shock. At some point I think MLB will just get rid of the outfielders, put the fences behind second base and start forcing the pitchers to throw beach balls. They might as well, they have changed all the other rules and these guys still can't hit jack or $%it.

When Clint Eastwood says to hold your ass right there, you do exactly what he said.
"Jeeeesus Christ"......sounded like my old man 50 years ago. I love that part.
I love this part. Rigo shows everyone that not only does he have an awesome arm, but shows them all the Gentry is not as good as he thinks he is.
Rigo also shows he's a pretty well-grounded kid too...he says 'it's just a game'. Gentry was so rapped up in getting endorsements and he became a jerk to top it all off - he lost sight and the 'freshness' of playing the game. Love the story and how it shoes so much goes into forming a top notch athlete. In real-life a Gentry would get dropped in a heart beat once a Rigo-like player comes along...
Makes you wonder how many guys like this young pitcher get missed for real because of circumstance.
Makes u stupid is what it does..
JT422B none
"Moneyball" gives the answer
zero
if you can pitch like Sandy Koufax they'll find you
Is anyone going to acknowledge the fact that Shaggy and Fred Flintstone shared a scene here? This is more historic than Heat.
and clint eastwood
if there was a chuck norris ohhh buddy
Dude...that's golden...but you left out Dirty Harry.
and the T-1000.
you sir almost made me cry ahahah
What a talented batter they got there! He can't even hit the ball when he knows what's coming!
+Froggy Noddy I'd feel humiliated that I drafted a narcissistic bastard for a baseball team based on computer data!
I was thinking the same damn thing!
Exactly. Let me put this in perspective. If I moved to China and just did a couple cartwheels for fun. And my form was unexpectedly good. And the daughter of some Chinese government gymnastics agent invited me to Olympic camp. And he put me up against THE best gymnast of that generation. And then I destroyed him/her?...Try again, Hollywood. Can't play the "uninitiated minority" card forever...Get new writers/politics!
+Mike W I'm pretty sure baseball & gymnastics are very different.
Denise Dixon You've clearly done both?
I love an underdog story!! Good guys DO come in first.
This is the best scene in the whole movie; and despite people disagreeing with me I believe there are kids who are missed. I knew a Canadian guy who pushed and went to tryouts and pushed colleges--got accepted at a US college and was drafted. No he didn't make it to the big club but this story stops with the guy being offered a contract---that's all.
i love this scene
i don't know you.. wth are you bashing me?
Dana Gorham Listen... Tards need bashin. I'm jus doin my job .!! WTF ???
Shouldn't you be bashing yourself then, Jane?
Vincent Simonetti Haha.. Even ur cat wears a helmet. !! HAHAHA Window licker.
Dana Gorham Wonderful!!
It's hard to take the actor who played shaggy in scooby doo seriously in a role like this.
forget shaggy.. he was goofball in Scream lol
And Cereal Killer in "Hackers"
Mike Roberts Great movie with pre-plastic surgery nudity by Angela Jolie
He was feeling kinda woozy.
you Do know that the late great Kasey Kasem was the voice of Shaggy in the old cartoons? right?...lol
I love this scene. TH-cam knows it and sends it to me every now and then.
The point here for me is the eyes of Rigo. He knows this is the moment of his life where he is in front of an open door.
Whether he becomes a pro player or not is not the idea of this movie, is about the point in your life when you face your future.
Amy, Clint and the others too.
But it's Rigo who plays the talented new guy facing his future in this scene.
That's why i love it.
Patrick should have gotten an Academy award for the look he gives that jerk at about 3:09.
T-1000 was pissed
uh, wasn't it the T-2000 sequel who got p*ssed?! LOL! Seriously though...I don't care what movie I watch, that guy will always be the staredown Terminator in Terminator 2! I guess that's a compliment on how well he played the role!
+Ninjacatprincess Word
That kiss ass scout was fucking terminated!
mo it was the T-1000
don't you mean Agent John Doggett...
The drop on that ball is just sick. Can't even touch 'em!
beautiful!
+Ninjacatprincess Exactly. A masterpiece!
NYG1991 I just stumbled across this movie overnight and I wonder how I missed it in the theatres. Lots of actors with name recognition - Justin Timberlake is in it and does a decent job.

+Ninjacatprincess I guess you're not a baseball fan.
Is that Lois Lane, Fred Filnstone, T-1000, Shaggy and Dirty Harry.
No. It's just a game.
It is the dude from Hackers
That is the funniest comment I have seen in years! Thank you.😂
Timing preparedness and natural talent of motion and power = Inspiring
beautiful scene.
ali01010010 u
This was a very underrated movie, absolutely love Amy Adams, would love to do shots and toss sports trivia with her anyday
cityofchamps66 she ruined this movie
We really do need to hire Amy Adams, because the Braves are currently in last place in Spring Training.
Fast forward a year later and the Braves have the 2nd best record in the National League and are primed to return to the playoffs again after a 5 year drought. As a fan of your former playoff rival, good luck.
"Just hold your ass right there." Hahahaha
A really good movie and this was a GREAT scene! I could watch this a hundred times!
Gentry wiffs on everything.
Shaggy looks at T-1000.
T-1000 stares back at Shaggy.
"Get...Out..."
Seen this b4 in 1984 with THE NATURAL... when he lead character bats like a boss and pitches so good that his fastball breaks the netting behind home plate...
This is my favorite scene of this flick
I love the way the " peanut boy " makes
the #1 look like his ego; trash talker with
an ego hole in his bat!
Rigoberto is like I've got your peanut boy right here bitch!
one best scenes in a baseball movie
Whenever Clint Eastwood yells at someone, he imagines they are a folding chair.
The bag of peanuts Gentry didn't pay for
in the middle of the flick; came back to
bite him 😂
Peep holes and SR-71's. Nice channel
Sanchez owned Gentry's cocky country ass!
I like this movie. Yeah, it has all the cliche bits to it, but I like it. My wife and I, the first time we saw it, figured the latino kid would factor into the plot. But, all the usual plot lines aside, it is still just a fun movie to watch to kill some time.
Why couldn't you post the entire on field scene (at least), with maybe some of the boardroom give and take afterwards? This is like a tease.
VERY underrated movie...
You know you're old when everyone recognizes him for Scooby doo character but you recognize him from without a paddle 😂
Scream?
Would have been better if Gentry breaks his knee cap by trying to break his bat over his knees in frustration.
Wow! Babe Ruth behind Clint Easwood!!! (How many will understand this comment?)
Because John Goodman portrayed Babe Ruth in one movie about him.
My Favourite scene...😎
I CAN NOT Watch this scene enough!
Sober or Twisted
This scene Rocks😎
3:08 see John Goodman's face? That's how my dad reacts everytime he watches this scene. He recorded the movie just for this
all i have to say analytics is so important now if this was real life they would have easily known that gentry cant hit a curve with analytics this is a backwards movie analytics is here to stay in baseball
Actually as a guy who played and starred a bit I H.S. and then played pony ball (wooden bats) after H.S., I'd like to point out that analytics are almost useless in scouting H.S. kids..you really do need a scouts eye because the talent in H.S. varies so much...and then you have the whole metal vs wooden bat thing, which if you know anything about baseball, is often the determining factor in a kid not making it to the next level.
I didn't get the sense that this was taking place in the "now", but just as the change was about to happen.
Is this movie worth watching? I love this scene
Meat to please you yes it's on netflix too now
Only if you like baseball I suppose.
I wanna learn curve too xD
Want to get this on dvd...............................................................................................................................................................................................small thing as THIS vid clip from DNC is the only one working, on that L.A. Speed Check, I came to see it as the thumbnail LOOKS like a jet approaching a Stargate from the tv show. HAD to see it. Funny as heck, upthumbed, like this clip is also, and just wonder ifthat REALLY happened. Just want it to, and with Stargate in mind had the thought of O ' N e i two "l"s or a Cameron Mitchell in a 302 calling in and touching the hyperdrive for a nudge.
They should have cast a guy who has actually swung a baseball bat. this is horrendous.
the point of that scene is that Gentry is messed up so bad by these pitches that his swings look that ugly
Stupid point, because no pro player is going to swing like that even if they're having a hard time hitting a pitcher.
Lol, you need to watch more games. Carlos Gomez comes to mind when talking about horrendous swings against tough pitching.
it's almost like no professional ball player wanted to appear on a film depicting a bust draft pick.
Brian Davis you should apply for the role...😂😂
You know you're facing a bitch ass hitter when he shows up in a helmet with double ear flaps... and you're taking direction from a woman during BP.
I sure wish you could have shrunk the picture more. I can still see a bit of it.
Why is the name Gentry dragged in the mud for another movie besides "Major League" ??????
Movie ??
The audio could be a lot quieter, too. I can still hear almost half the words.
for some reason i was expecting the ball to curve and hit the batter's nuts
*I never heard of this before today, 2-1-2017. Someone hired a lousy movie promoter.*
That’s known as Trouble With The Curve
Tv face scream kid
I always had a thing for ya sid
Whats the name of this movie
A onde podermos encontrar o filme
What is the title of this movie?
You have been weighed and measured and found wanting
Sit on the Change
What movie is this?
Osiel Ramirez , Trouble with the Curve.
Bruh it's a win win. They got a hitter who can hit tanks and a pitcher with good stuff. Lmao why everyone trippin
JEEZUS
lmfao on that slow mo scene i thought someone was falling down.
show him the curve huhg
The hitter shut up fast, didn't he?
amy adams
This was a pretty good movie, didn't get a lot of play, guess not enough explosions or nudity to get the attention of the "deep thinkers" out there.
Movie name
what's the movie..........i love scenes like this
It's called "trouble with the curve"
Thank you :)
1:24, gentry is about to find out, that is NOT as invicible as he thinks he is,
I can STILL hit the breaking ball...
Would that the Braves had someone that overpowering again.
Clint Eastwood. The non-faker actor.
His delivery looked nothing like Johnson's not to mention the big unit was known for his slider not the curve.. I would have said Valenzuela.
armst012 Well I'm pretty sure it's because the way his pitches break and the speed. Johnson's slider was a nasty son of a gun. Here Bo knows what's coming but he can't even the touch the breaking ball. But all that aside that's Hollywood for ya
Not many better feelings then shutting everyone's stupid ass up with a solid performance.
"Jesus Christ.."
Is that Shaggy?
Yup ,lol
Yes, and the T-1000 is pissed off at him
Badou Plus Shaggy, Fred Flintstone, Lois Lane, T-1000 and pick pretty much any Clint Eastwood character lol
For that Gentry guy, couldn't they have found someone who at least kind of looks like a Major League Baseball player. That guy they picked clearly doesn't!
He just played college ball he was supposed to look like a young Chubby Homerun hitter prospect
gentry a joke like what on earth you thinking man get somebody who look like a baseball player
What the movie call ???
Trouble with the curve...a damn good movie.
steve Fowler True!! So overlooked. Perhaps because it is about the values that make America great and didn't fit in with the idiots trying to destroy her.
Trouble with the Curve
what movie is this called?
Name of the movie,,,
Fastball
Name pls
What movie is this
The T1000 is not happy.
Is this a movie?
It was a cool movie but so predictably cheesy
I liked this movie and thought this was a great ending scene (almost ending), but it obviously took "dramatic license", others have commented on it's lack of realism but I haven't heard anyone state what struck me was the entire idea of an unproven kid being allowed to pitch at their brand new 1st round pick...that wouldn't happen in a million years in MLB...they spent a boat load of money on "Bo" and wouldn't expose him to injury by an unknown pitching talent...but again it was a movie and made for great drama...again, overall I thought it was a very good movie.

"Trouble With The Curve "
A guy misses 4 swings in BP so hes not worth the first pick?
So, no-one is going to say anything about how hot Amy Adams looks here ?😊
How can he know that a fastball is coming and still miss?
What movie
is anybody gonna say anything about the CGI mimicking Arnoldis Chapman
may i know this movie name ?
Fastball
It's ridiculous that they had to cast such a pudgy guy as the top prospect.

Bo Gentry is Bryce Harper

They might as well, they have changed all the other rules and these guys still can't hit jack or $%it.
...and make 'em wear DRESSES on tag plays !!
Where's Tao?
