I like Money Ball (the book - haven't seen the movie), but I don't think that Sabermetrics applies very well to small ball and the NCAA.
I was speaking mainly in jest. I can appreciate the differences between MLB and the college ranks with regards to bunting and stolen bases. I will say that the strategy is hard to watch from the perspective of a casual college baseball fan.

Moneyball is definitely worth your time, especially for those who enjoyed the book. The movie found a way to make the subject matter entertaining to the masses and was nominated for 6 Academy Awards but like Billy Beane and the A's, the filmmakers ultimately came away empty-handed.

This.

I'm not a baseball fan at all and I enjoyed the film immensely.
