Welcome back, Void! It's our mother's birthday so we will be discussing one of her favorite topics: SPORT! This time we're discussing baseball, and in particular Moneyball, which took place in our community. It's the story of the criminally underpaid Oakland A's and their quest to get slightly better. This movie is not about successes or heroic deeds, it's about STATISTICS, ANALYTICS, and MATHEMATICS!! We do have a ton of fun talking about submarine pitchers, the Streak, the superstitions of baseball, and the mad mind games of player trading. Brennan has a one-sided beef with KNBR, Erin can relate to Hatteberg through her kickball experiences, and they both agree that Oakland's love for their teams has not been reciprocated by the team owners (EVER). Despite the A's move to Las Vegas, and despite our hosts being bigger fans of other teams, let's be real, it's hard not to be romantic about baseball.
