You’d think it would be impossible for someone to wait several years to see a movie that they are portrayed in, but Mark Mulder claims to have done it. Last night was the first time the former Oakland A’s pitcher has Moneyball, the story of how Billy Bean and the Oakland A’s changed the way baseball teams evaluated players.
Seeing as how it took him this long to watch it, Mulder decided that he’d share his thoughts about the movie in real-time on Twitter. It wasn’t all bad, he just felt the need to point out a few things that Moneyball got wrong, like A’s players having to pay for soda in the locker room as if they were fucking plebs or something.
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

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.

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.

Classic Mulder. (Note: I have no idea what classic Mulder consists of, just blindly assuming this is it.)
