[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1028485, member: 18006"] The hostile relationship between Beane and Art Howe (and the majority of the club's scouts and coaches) was wildly exaggerated, and Howe was really angry about that for years. In reality, Howe was a loyal team guy who did have some doubts, but had a (mostly) good working reationship with Beane and was supportive of his ideas, and worked hard to make Beane's system work. Most of the other staff were also supportive of it, and some were actually pretty excited about it from the beginning. But that was exactly the sort of drama that makes a movie more intense, so they took a lot of iberties with that and wound up making Howe look ike a jerk. He really felt betrayed by that, especially since nobody plays a whiny, smarmy jerk better than Phillip Seymour Hoffman did. They also did "massage" a lot of the details regarding some specific players in order to simplify the plot line and make it look like the data analytics were the only thing that made the team decent, when in reality, a lot of other people on that staff with more traditional roles to play did a very good job to acquire key players and contribute to the overall effort. I think some of those guys felt a little slighted over that, too. [/QUOTE]
