Seeing John Goodman, Clint Eastwood and Robert Patrick next to each other gives me goosebumps. Triple legends.
I would agree with the first two but not the last.
Clint is the only legend I see.
@@craighanson-rc1md I see what you're saying. He might not have done as many legendary projects, but he was the freaking T1000. Immortalized from one role, in my book.
@@mccall7122I couldnt stand the terminator films & only saw the first the first was so bad it ruined the rest. Not to mention the crazy cast of most of the films even the first like that wannabe rambo mother who clearly couldn't tell a pistol from a pillow let alone a glock from a Sig Sauer or a colt 1911. I will say that the terminator story line is coming to reality these days & the real life T-1000 or plain old terminator are bound to come sooner or later.
Except for Goodman, the force everything actor.
I truly love this movie.
"It's just a game"
Everyone needs to remember this
I'm sure billionaire owners don't share the same feeling when it's their money on the line.
When Clint Eastwood tells you to hold your ass right there, you better hold your ass right there
Yes sir!!!
Clint Eastwood is the only man Chuck Norris addresses as "sir".
...and he did ever have a gun.
i'd hide my ass
No one wants to get punked by a 94 year old..but that just happened
Straight laughing when Matthew Lillard start pointing the other guy 😂😂
True scumphuqer!
He can play anybody. Annoying or friendly folk.
Such a snake!
“It’s just a game.” No truer words have been said about so many things in this world.
Amy Adams is a doll, what a woman.
Ooh yeah!!!!
What a lady!!!
She is 49 years old but looks like 30 years old, isn't
Totally!
One of Eastwood's unappreciated movies, i suppose because no one dies. 😏
I liked it. ❤
no gun violence?
then its not an american film. its one of those european gay films trying to influence american culture. no guns, no violence, no occupation, no colonization, wtf is this? teletubbies?
bo gentry died at the plate
no the reason it didn't get it's just respect was because it's about corrupted baseball & how the game has been corrupted by managers greedy players & supposed scouts & this was a film made when some still watched baseball. I only watch it now when the only other things on are football or the NBA or 81 year old Alzheimer presidents or members of congress or liberal terrorist supporting news media propaganda.
It is an unappreciated movie granted I do prefer his Spaghetti westerns and Dirty Harry role but this movie is good
@@SteveSmith-fp9gnI completely support both Clint & John candy their great actors & Amy I forget last name puts on a good show but the whole Justin Timberlake & the corrupt baseball backbone are what ruined it throw in the cheezy subplots & it's a terrible movie. It make Shaqs space jam look amazing. Lebrons space jam nothing could make that better or remotely tolerable & still have lebron in it.
One of my favorite scenes in all of movies
One thing that’s always bothered me about baseball movies is the mythologizing “throwing heat” as unhittable. It’s isn’t raw heat that makes a pitcher dominant, it’s the ability to throw variable speeds whilst masking the windup. If a pitcher can throw two drastically different speeds and movements while using the exact same mechanics and appearance, he will be very successful. Nolan Ryan threw heat but also had a devastating curveball with virtually identical arm angle. A batter would anticipate the heat and flail miserably as he swung way too early at a nasty hook. It’s the mix of heat and offspeed that makes a pitcher unhittable. If any big league caliber hitter knew what pitch was coming they would crush it. With exception being a knuckleball, where there is virtually no spin on the ball.
Sadly, too much of baseball has become obsessed with velocity, too. I guess they've forgotten that the pitcher with the most wins since the mound was lowered was Greg Maddux, nobody's idea of a fireballer.
Truth. Except for Wild Thing.
Yeah but there were times Ryan’s fastball was unhittable. For everyone else I agree with you.😊
@@deanrotering879 No ones fastball is unhittable by a good major league hitter, if they know for sure its a fastball coming.
that's why he mentioned indirectly of a minor league signing. He saw the potential of growth.
We all like to see a huge (undeserved) ego deflated so I watch this whenever I stumble into it.
Mans practiced hard his whole life only for others to say he hasnt deserved anything? U outta line
@@Skumrasket I'm not talking about Clint's character. The big mouthed batter is my target.
I love that Amy Adams in it! Terrific actress
Koufax, Carlton, and Johnson;
Trouble with the curve; Indeed!
This is one quote that Clint doesn't need to deny.🐧
I have watched this scene like a 100 times and never got tired. 😊
Everything in the movie all plays out in this scene. Very subtle but powerful at the same time.
Yeah, can't get enough of Amy Adams either, eh? 😜
@@TheZoePath of course.😆
He's the Bo Callahan of baseball
Wish I could like this multiple times.
@@bryanstorm8291 Thank you
And Clint Eastwood is the HARRY Callahan of baseball! 😀
Though I don’t watch football much anymore, I watch “Draft Day” every draft season. 😎👍
If this dude is a legit 1st round level talent and you’re telling him the pitch that’s coming he’d be crushing the ball lol
It's a movie. It's meant to be exaggerated for thematic effect. If you want realistic baseball go watch a game.
@@MemesOfProduction69 "It'S a MoIvE" 🤦
Exaggeration is one thing, but something being downright unbelievably ridiculous as a first-round pick hitting nothing but air 5 or so pitches in a row when he knows exaclty what pitch is coming at him is just lazy writing.
@@MattAttack11 Coming onto a comments section to blast a HOLLYWOOD MOVIE for not enough realism is just lazy criticism. I'm sure you enjoyed John Wick just as much, eh? FFS, either enjoy the movie or just fk off. Go watch documentaries if its that important to you.
@MemesOfProduction69 as a non US person with no real exposure to actual real life baseball... I got really hyped by few different baseball movies. I then watched a real game on the back of that hype... bloody hell it was sooo boring. 😂
@@Mr.BednaR Baseball is live action chess, with a bit of athletic prowess to set the stage. Football is in the same "category" of athletic games, but is typically more "watchable" because the moments when the ball IS in motion are so brutal. With baseball, the game is one giant mental chess game between one Coach/team and the other side. Where fielders place themselves for different batters, whether to go for 1 base or steal them all, baseball is FILLED with "little things" that add up into the entire experience of the game. Although to be honest, a BIG part of being a baseball fan is the live experience. Going to a baseball game is just like choosing to go spend time with your loved ones at the local park, with the added part of attending a game that is so crowd involved that going for balls that hit the stands is literally part of the game. Read that back, baseball is the only game where fans being involved and literally taking balls to keep is part of the experience regardless of competition level. My dad still has my first little league homerun ball that was actually caught by a kid who was a fan of the rival team. A grown man had to ask a 12 year old if he could buy the ball he caught, and that is literally meant to be part of the "baseball experience".
3:46 He said it! He said the thing!
Peter Griffin 😂
My exact thoughts 😂
Robert Patrick’s character was trying to blame someone else when he was the one that made the decision to draft Bo Gentry. John Goodman’s character tried telling him not to draft Gentry when their time to draft came up, too.
your point is? scouts tell management not to draft this person or to draft this person only to be ignored & management do the oppsite & that's completely on management or who ultimately approved the final decision sealing that decision. At the same time scouts only need one good pick before they hit pay dirt & start getting paid which is really all they care about. most mlb teams no longer have scouts the basically outsource it to third party analyst companies & what not who then send a list of players for the desired positions & the team ultimately decides often without even looking just checking off any that go before they can get them & going with the next best choice. Sometimes the team with have a single scout who takes the list & then scouts the recommend players & narrows it down but most teams especially smaller teams like the Oakland As dont do most of their own scouting anymore they have a couple scouts that basically give a final detailed eval on options & maybe a few unknowns.
@@craighanson-rc1md It annoys me when Robert Patrick’s character literally says, “Nobody saw this?” as his #1 pick kept whiffing at fastballs and curveballs being thrown at him by a guy with no professional experience. Gus (Clint Eastwood’s character) tells John Goodman’s character that his hands drift when he hits, thus not having much pop when it comes to hitting off-speed pitches. Point being, Robert Patrick’s character has himself to blame for not heeding the warning that he was given about Bo Gentry.
Agreed Gentry character though is a reflection of the MLB mentality since probably the 90s where being able to hit far is all that matters at least until the money ball stuff come around 2000 where people started realizing that power wasn't important getting on base & getting those on base around to score mattered. Even when I was in little league the supposed best players were the power hitters never mind the guys who got walked or hit by pitches or those like me who had a habit of hitting singles & doubles but not usually triples or homers. Also that part of the film shows that at the time the curve wasn't as universal let alone used as much as earlier times or current times. And as a result of that people didnt try to watch both batter & pitch & what pitches the batter might not do well with. Again that was stuff that didnt really come out until the money ball times or at least not as much. Everyone just saw Gentry hitting power & most pitchers throwing fastballs or change ups which I will say are generally easier on the pitchers arm then curves or sliders or other pitches. And even throw college pitchers were told to watch the number of pitches & the types of pitches to help save their arms. It wasn't until the 2000 that the big leagues started to follow that idea & started limiting pitchers to 100 pitches or whatever. In the 80s & 90s if a pitch was doing great into the 6th he was usually allowed to go as far as he could not most are pulled as soon as they hit 100 even if their pitching shut outs, no hitters, or perfect games. And I get that but I think it's hurt the game a bit & teams really paying attention to pitchers or pitches again. I'm hardly an expert just my opinion & why I don't watch MLB or any level baseball anymore. Its to much a greedy machine treating players & fans like dirt & to predictable. No more batter & pitcher battles. I do like the fact that money ball analysts are more the focus now verses the supposed power hitters or super fast ball pitchers etc. Still everyone's greedy these days owners, MLB, the players etc etc.
@@craighanson-rc1md Yeah. It’s sad that they’re more focused on money these days. I get that these guys are making a living, but do they really need as much as they’re making? When did you stop watching baseball?
@@davidgonzalez1535 exactly I mean entry level is for MLB is I think like $350,000 not to bad hardly something someone be a college age "adult" or near retirement adult that's a pretty good living & should be fairly comfortable at either point let alone when making more then $5 million a year. I get it I want to make as much as I'm worth which I think is always more then you are making unless you are really doing something you love & are passionate about. Unfortunately most dont get that chance or option so for a MLB NBA or NFL player to cry over a cramp while making 10 million or even a 1 million dollars a game is hardly slave labor even locked into a contract as many like Kapernick & others in the NFL claim endlessly about thinking they deserve even more. Especially while other staff like trainers & cheerleaders or the janitors make pennies a game. That goes with male or female sports & even most female "pro" atheletes make several hundred thousand dollars a year far more then most regular people & far more then enough to live on even only playing half a year or so without having to really do anything else if one doesn't want to. But not only greed but trying to keep up with the jones & out better everyone else only to go broke because you blew all of it on drugs women cars houses drugs whatever. I could very easily party & live a great life on half the worse salary of even women pro sports it's just about investing & being money wise but again few do that & plan for the future then suddenly something happens & career & money gone & nothing left yet they want more & claim to deserve & be entitled to more. Rant over.
great cast amazing film Amy Adams what a talent
i never get tired of watching this vid,
Louisa Lane, Dirty Harry , Fred Flinstone, Scooby doo
and T-1000. , what a team !!
At 03:04 T-1000 facial expressions.
LOL
Has anyone seen red hair like Amy's coming to the mound to talk to Gentry's kryptonite?
This scene is a Jack The Giant Killer masterpiece 😎
What the heck did you say lol?
Amy Adams 🥰
🔥
@@telefunkenyou47 Yeah , she's pretty hot 😊
"Alright, this is gonna be ugly."
Bo doesn't realize how true those words are.
This is one of the best “redemption” scenes of all time. You really don’t even need to know that much about baseball to feel the impact.
Now I'm not American, and not actually a baseball follower (although I have watched a few games) but I know enough to know that Sandy Koufax was a lefty (like Rigoberto in the movie). I would love to see someone like Jomboy do a side-by-side and see if Rigo really does have a similar _"action"_ to Koufax.
I like to imagine that an old baseball scout read the script for Moneyball and angrily wrote this movie as a response
Priceless
There's a great picture of Sandy Koufax as his arm comes forward in that beautiful overhead motion of his. It's at night, framed against the black scoreboard and I believe that it was one of Sandy's no-hitters. Rigo pitches with a motion very similar to Sandy's.
Clearly most of these comments never played baseball at a high level and yes I did and my son was a D1 pitcher.
The pitcher was on a pro level at amateur level. Gentry bring the hitter was a high school pick, he never made it to college and was drafted, in college he would face pro level or pro ready talent where the curv ball is more pronounced and more controlled vs high school pitching. This is why draft picks go to rookie ball to A to high A to AA to Tripple A by the time they reach AAA they have seen Major league talent and ready to face elite talent in the professional ranks where control is a muscle memory. There is a difference between pro level / pro ready and major league talent. High school picks are considered pro level at or where most college talent hits in third year and they gain strides in minors to level out.
The pitcher was older and was pro ready already and will be on his way to minors to fine tune.
Excellent explanation.
Thank you Tom Emansky.
Good grief with that swing, who thought this guy was a good pick for the part.
The computer said so 😂
I’d still take it in a heartbeat compared to some baseball casting I saw back in the 1980s and 1990s. Loads better than Chet Steadman’s pitching mechanics. And the swing still easily puts Roger Dorn to shame.
as an pitcher when younger, the only thing i had was a fastball and placement was everything, when the blue jays won back to back rings their closers basically used fast balls
jimmy key was a prime example, his fastball was slow compared to others but his placement did the trick,
My HS coach got pissed off when he asked the team what we thought of the game and told everyone that I don't take it seriously when I said its just a game lol
3:42 Gotta love Clint Eastwood
I can only imagine a character combination of Clint Eastwood, Michael Douglas and Robert De Niro in one saying that line "What do you say now, jackass? That's known as, trouble with the curve."
Captivating is this scene for Me. This movie is Incredible.
But this scene; Extraordinary for sure!
Great movie!! Watched it many times
When Mickey says,
Show em the curve, Gentry was about to
be fully exposed! B😂😂M
It was cringe too
That T1000 looked like he was watching John Connor
I could watch this ending all day...
I like to see a bully gets what he deserves.
Nice to see the smack-talking catcher from Summer Catch go back to school, forget all he saw on the field, and find his calling in the front office chasing analytics. The Pirates just offered him the GM job, I heard.
Bo Gentry may have missed the curves, but it's obvious he hasn't missed many meals. That is one of the most realistic representations of a curveball I've seen in movies. A real life overhand curveball...if thrown properly...should have more downward break than inside/outside break. A "flat" curveball, no matter how much it breaks, might as well have a "hit me" sign taped to it.
The t1000 ain’t happy
“What are you saying now? Jackass!”
With playoffs going on right now. Feels like watching this movie
She's pretty
“This is gonna be ugly!” FOR YOU!!!
"That's known as... 'Trouble with the Curve'..."
OOOh he said the thing!
"He knows it's coming and he still can't hit it"
They could do a sequel with Gentry called “Trouble With The Swing”.
Lolz
At 3:05 for a moment Robert Patrick was channelling a bit of his old T1000 Terminator with that hard and most unimpressed glare! 🤣
Great movie love it
Played a lot of sports in my life, and it's great when some arrogant prick gets shown up. Man,I miss ball... 64 tomorrow, April 18...
The T-1000 is not happy
HE SAID THE NAME OF THE MOVIE!!!!
The hitter knew what the pitch was and still couldn't hit it.
NA they would have know that kids weakness back in high school or at least in college. Never mind his stint in the minors.
He was drafted out of high school - this is his first batting practice after being drafted... so he hasn't played in the minors yet
Damn,that Amy Adams.She looks good
Great movie
3:42 Clint Eastwood “ WHAT ARE YOU SAYING NOW JACKASS 😂😂😂
The batter needs to get Jo boo some rum and a cigar. Maybe even a live chicken.
Rock and fire!
If you watch the entire movie you will see a scene where he throws a bag of peanuts and can tell he is special. He just needed someone to discover him and to give him a chance: His natural talent took over. As for Bo, Clint Eastwood warned after scouting him, he has a hitch in his swing and would have trouble with the curve/
Is it possible to binge watch a trailer?
Adam Wainwright had a nasty 12 6 curve ball. He made hitters look bad when he threw itm
And that’s just a small tidbit from a good Eastwood movie
It's totally silly to actually believe a guy that's in the pros made it through little league, high school, college and into the pros, and NO one ever threw him a curve ball until now??
He was drafted out of high school
yet he never faced a curveball from any pitcher? yea right Tom Brady made it to the NFL and never got tackled ever lol@@HilltopperTA
Because all the curves, regardless of league/pitchers, are the same.
Bjour le faites de rentrées dans un stades et de se consentré pour passées un test et de voires ses compétences pour continuer a entrées dans une équipe de grandes valeurs
Brilliant.👏👏👏👏👏
Scouts are not dumb. They would gave pitcher, because pitchers are worth more than hitters AND KNEW, BEFORE SIGNING THIS HITTER, HE CAN'T HIT OFF SPEED PITCHES.
Clint has to swear…he just can’t project any power without it. 😮
Bo Gentry couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a boat!!!!!
'Show 'em the curve'....proceeds to take his pants off...
Like all of Clints work this movie is very good
This whole movie was frekking ridiculous. Justin Timberlake as a scout? And Amy Adams walking out on the field to chat with the pitcher and no one said anything? #1 draftee who couldn’t hit a called fastball or curve?
Amy Adams can make mound visits anytime she wants.
JFC, could've at least taught him how to swing properly.
Great movie with a great ending how rare is that
And no warm ups !
sounds like he needs to sacrifice a chicken to jobo
All I see is Shaggy from Scooby Doo. LOL
Gentry knows it’s coming and he still can’t hit it #Classic
I get that it's a movie but after a few pitches to say this kid is Sandy Koufax is a bit much. He is good but Sandy is regarded as one of the best pitchers ever.
Rigoberto Sanchez is currently (2024) the punter for the Indianapolis Colts. No relation. 😉
So cringey that a writer thought this was how scouting works.
Something about they way she says "show'm the curve" makes me cringe 😂
Look like trouble with the curve and fast ball. Missed every one of the pitches. lol
What's the movie title??
Trouble with the curve.
Amy Adams is gorgeous.
And
That’s how you get Fired 😂🤣😂
In real life, "peanut boy" declined a MLB career.
Any real ball player would take one look at this and think only one thing... Hollywood. It's such an outrageous caricature of any possible reality.
"Nobody saw this"!
Dream. Decation. Believe
If there's Eastwood, it's good
"Sandy Koufax... combined with Steve Carleton and Randy Johnson" -- to a kid who has never pitched a single inning in the pros -- throwing against a wildly overrated hitter.
I do not think so. The writers need to get some perspective.
What’s Shaggy doing on a baseball field?
Hot Sauce!!
