FanGraphs and Pitch Talks in Boston on Thursday

A couple of months ago, we announced that we’d partnered with the Pitch Talks crew, and were going to be doing a series of events with them around the country this summer. Well, the first show of the summer is this Thursday, at The Wilbur in Boston, and the show is going to be great. Here’s the schedule for the show, in case you don’t believe me.

Paul Swydan and I will be representing the FanGraphs crew, hanging out with friends of the site Jonah Keri and Alex Speier, talking Red Sox and baseball from a nerdy perspective. A one-hour conversation with the Red Sox GM will follow — which is sure to be an interesting chat, given the Red Sox current position in the standings — and then the night will close out with a roundtable of some of the most notable beat writers in the area, plus a live recording of Jonah Keri’s podcast with Bill Lee, and then we’ll all hang out afterwards and have a good time.

Now, on its own, this is easily worth the $32 price of admission. But because we wanted to encourage those in the Boston area who overload on baseball conversations over the next month, we actually have a special offer for you to make this an absolute no-brainer.

If you attend the Pitch Talks show on Thursday night, you’ll be given access to a 24-hour promo code that will get you $32 offer the admission price to Saber Seminar, which is the best baseball conference of the year, and will be held on August 13th/14th on the campus of Boston University. A two-day collection of amazing speakers, presentations, research, and discussion, Saber Seminar is an absolute must-attend for anyone in the northeast interested in the game.

And, best of all, all of the money raised through ticket sales for the conference goes directly to cancer research and support; The Jimmy Fund and The Angioma Alliance will receive 100% of the proceeds raised through this great event. So you get to attend the best baseball conference of the year, and you get to support two great charities at the same time. It’s the biggest win-win in baseball.

But now, because of the support of the Pitch Talks crew, you now get to go to two great events for the price of one. Buy the $32 ticket to Pitch Talks on Thursday, then use the promo code to get a $32 discount on your ticket for Saber Seminar on Friday, and you’ll end up paying $140 for both Pitch Talks and Saber Seminar, while supporting two great charities at the same time.

If you’re going to be in the Boston area over the next five weeks, I highly encourage you to come to both events. Pitch Talks is going to be a lot of fun tomorrow night, and there is no better place to learn about baseball than Saber Seminar in August. I’ll be at both events, and would love to say hi to as many FanGraphs readers as possible.

So come hang out with me and a bunch of other great folks this Thursday at The Wilbur, and then come spend the weekend with even more awesome people at BU in August, all for just $140. Look forward to meeting plenty of you tomorrow night, and then catching up again next month, as we bond over baseball and our support of cancer research.

Buy your Tickets to Pitch Talks now, and we’ll see you on Thursday night!
