Mark Mulder was one of the key members of the 2002 “Moneyball” Oakland A’s, but until recently, he had never watched the film his team inspired.
The former All-Star left-hander decided to change that Wednesday night, and he offered up some behind-the-scenes insight on the movie’s accuracy in the process.
So, what did the filmmakers get right? What did they get wrong? What storylines were beefed up for Hollywood? Here’s Mulder’s review:
Since @kimberlybhudson husband doesn't believe I haven't watched Moneyball yet, I'll watch tonight finally and give my opinion on it later.

(Jonah Hill’s character, Peter Brand, was based on DePodesta, Billy Beane’s former assistant, who did not want his name used in the film.)
