A scene from Moneyball 2011
Billy Beane

I want Dye in right, Justice DH'ing, Peña on the bench, Hatteberg at first, and anyone but Mags first out of the pen.

Art Howe

You want Peña on the bench?

Billy Beane

That's right. So you can play Hatty.

Art Howe

Peña is not only the best first baseman on the roster, he's the only first baseman on the roster.

Billy Beane

Listen to me, Hatty gets on base more than Peña. In fact, twenty percent more.

Art Howe

And his fielding?

Billy Beane

His fielding does not matter.

Art Howe

I've heard enough of this.

Billy Beane

Have you?

Art Howe

And I, uh... I disagree with you, plain and simple. And moreover, I'm playing my team in a way that I can explain in job interviews next winter.
