Former A’s Pitcher Mark Mulder Live-Tweets Viewing Of ‘Moneyball’
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.

There is no reason I haven't seen it yet. Just have not gotten around to it. So I will tonight. That way all of @BBTN can ask about it.

This is really funny watching some of the guys they got to portray certain guys.

No. We never paid for drinks from a machine in clubhouse.

No. Paul DePodesta didn't sit back with the players

(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.)
Jeremy never turned on music and team never did that after a loss.

This guy plays a pretty good Hatteberg. Ha

Kind of getting goodebumps watching the winning streak highlights.

Hattebergs homer was one of the coolest things I ever experienced in baseball.

Boy did I blow it game 5 against the Twins. That was a day game by the way. Not a night game.
— Mark Mulder (@markmulder20) July 3, 2014
Honestly thought it was a really good movie. Sure, things were embellished but whatever. Still good.

Art Howe was one of the nicest kindest men I've ever been around in baseball.
