Seeing John Goodman, Clint Eastwood and Robert Patrick next to each other gives me goosebumps. Triple legends.

I love Amy Adams, in any movie she works.
I just watched the movie again, because of this video. I have it downloaded in my computer.

Dude, the looks and body language Robert Patrick gives in this scene are amazing. He is such an underrated actor.

One of my favorite scenes in all of movies

One of Eastwood's unappreciated movies, i suppose because no one dies. 😏
I liked it. ❤

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.

“It’s just a game.” No truer words have been said about so many things in this world.

Koufax, Carlton, and Johnson;
Trouble with the curve; Indeed!

Steve Carlton getting a shout out makes my day. One of the greatest to play the game, got little press because Philly, went about his business quietly, never talked to the media. My second-favorite Phillie of all time.

We all like to see a huge (undeserved) ego deflated so I watch this whenever I stumble into it.

I love the line, "It's just a game." Unfortunately, for many it is a necessary distraction.

It's a movie! What I say to myself when I start ranting at fake scenes. Happens a lot.
