1. Billy Beane is attempting to lead his team of scouts toward a new way of making decisions by reframing the problem. One scene Beane says "The problem we are trying to solve is that there are rich teams and there are poor teams. Then there's 50 feet of crap and then there's us. It's an unfair game. Think differently. We are the last dog at the bowl. You see what happens to the runt of the litter? He dies! If we try to play like the Yankees in here we will lose to the Yankees out there"

What does Billy want the team to do and ultimately what ends up being the approach for the team.
