Scott Hatteberg

If, if, uh, the only gameplay that was featured was, like, shadow.

One guy hitting a ball and, you know, Hatteberg.

Um, I don't know.

There's just so much to like about that movie.

... who I'm not a fan of, I'm not a big Chris Pratt fan-

He pulls it off

... outside of "Parks and Rec," he's a phenomenal Scott Hatteberg.

It's unbelievable because he, you know, he's just a f- he's a fat pilot this time when it, when he's in, uh, "Parks and Rec." Um, but he pulls off this Major League Baseball player, and it's totally believable.

Is there a chance that Boston gets better production from its center position this season playing 48 minutes of Neemi Kata and Mitchell Robinson than the 76ers do from Joel Embiid, who is one of the best players in the NBA when he's healthy? I, I actually think that's a possibility, and that's what I mean by Moneyballing it because I, I think that I, I like what they've done.

Scott Hatteberg.

Backup center.

Yeah.

... "This is your, this is your opportunity.

Yeah, who's my Scott Hatteberg?" You know? Uh, and, and I said-

It was Emily Kaplan.

[laughs]

...

Scott Hatteberg."

Hatteberg.

And then Scott Hatteberg all of a sudden becomes the greatest player in the world.

Uh, but it's, it's kept on the down low.

Um, that'd be incredible.

Yeah.

Well, it has me immediately [laughs] thinking about Scott Hatteberg, The Picking Machine, you know.

Yep.

And, and Billy Beane and Brad Pitt and Ron Washington are in, in [laughs] his family room on like a Christmas Eve or whatever, and they're like, "Want you to play first base." And he's like, "I'm not a first baseman." He's like, "Well, you are now."

Yeah.

He's playing Pena at first base and not Hatteberg, and it's just like, I don't know if there is a disconnect between Sonny and Keefe in terms of the goaltending.

Like, because-

It, it, it kinda sounds like Keefe is not so much on board with this three goaltender rotation.

I had just won the Cy Young in the National League in '97 versus '98.

And I remember pitching a game, and I had Scott Hatteberg as a catcher, and I, I...

That was the first time I ever had a, a conversation where I had to really use my knowledge and, and who I was to kind of, you know, lead, lead the game.

And we did it right.

No, but what, I don't understand the point.

The point is, is that they're saying, "Oh, Scott Hatteberg, it was this suck bag analytic's Jeremy Giambi."

[laughs]

Yeah, he's got a point.

It's just so flawed.

It's just such a flawed movie.

It's like, okay, we, Scott Hatteberg, can't throw, so they put him, they move him from catcher to first base, and he's supposed to be this on-base machine, and all this nonsense.

Like, I don't know, like, he kind of sucked.
