There is that scene in Moneyball where Billie Beane, played by Brad Pitt, sits at the head of a table for a scouts' meeting. He hears them out, he rolls his eyes, he bites his tongue, he spits into a cup, he buries his hand in his hand. Eventually, he snaps: "Blah, blah, blah."
Three times, Beane asks, "What's the problem?" Three times, the scouts are unable to identify the problem. Beane, the general manager of the Oakland Athletics, urges them to 'think differently'.
"You have a lot of experience and wisdom in this room," one scout respectfully replies, "now you need to have a little bit of faith and let us do the job of replacing Giambi."
