Twitter can be an amazing thing at times. Tonight was one of those times. Former Oakland Athletics pitcher Mark Mulder live tweeted his thoughts on the movie Moneyball while watching it for the first time.
And reading his timeline was the highlight of the day on social media. In true Mulder form, the current MLB analyst called out the movie for some of the inaccuracies that were included.
Since @kimberlybhudson husband doesn't believe I haven't watched Moneyball yet, I'll watch tonight finally and give my opinion on it later.

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

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

Jeremy Giambi might be a party animal, as portrayed on Moneyball, but there was one inaccuracy.
Jeremy never turned on music and team never did that after a loss.

Can't say I remember the Billy pep talks. Ha

Yeah, that didn’t make too much sense.
Boy did I blow it game 5 against the Twins. That was a day game by the way. Not a night game.

Yeah you did, Mark.
As with every Hollywood movie ever made, certain things were embellished in Moneyball. This doesn’t mean that it wasn’t one of the best baseball movies ever made. Besides, it did coin the term, “how can you not be romantic about baseball?”
