Lillard Talks Curves

You play the antithesis of Clint Eastwood in this film, the new technology statistics guy. What did you know about baseball and statistics going into this movie.

I knew nothing. Math in general scares me in a really primal way. I know nothing about math and I’m pretty sure my 5th grader can do more math than I can.

How did you deal with ERAs and RBIs and everything you character talks about in the film?

The same way I dealt with "Scooby-Doo." It’s just not real. So I never have to actually manipulate any facts but maybe that’s just because I am not Daniel-Day Lewis enough. Did you see him, he looks so good?
