Mark Mulder watches Moneyball for the first time, and live-tweets it
By Dan Zinski
Mark Mulder lived Moneyball. But until Wednesday night he had never seen the Oscar-winning movie based on the book based on the experiences of the Oakland A’s under nerd-genius GM Billy Beane.

Mulder decided to finally rectify that situation, and he shared the experience with everyone via Twitter. The former pitcher had some interesting things to say about certain inaccuracies in the movie. He also had praise for one of the characters who came off as a bit of a villain.
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.

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.

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.
— Mark Mulder (@markmulder20) July 3, 2014
BTW, Art Howe isn’t dead. Mulder kind of talks about him like he’s dead, but it’s Philip Seymour Hoffman who’s dead. I guess Mulder got the real guy mixed up with the actor. It happens.
