You Aren't a FanGraphs Member
It looks like you aren't yet a FanGraphs Member (or aren't logged in). We aren't mad, just disappointed.
We get it. You want to read this article. But before we let you get back to it, we'd like to point out a few of the good reasons why you should become a Member.
1. Ad Free viewing! We won't bug you with this ad, or any other.
2. Unlimited articles! Non-Members only get to read 10 free articles a month. Members never get cut off.
3. Dark mode and Classic mode!
4. Custom player page dashboards! Choose the player cards you want, in the order you want them.
5. One-click data exports! Export our projections and leaderboards for your personal projects.
6. Remove the photos on the home page! (Honestly, this doesn't sound so great to us, but some people wanted it, and we like to give our Members what they want.)
7. Even more Steamer projections! We have handedness, percentile, and context neutral projections available for Members only.
8. Get FanGraphs Walk-Off, a customized year end review! Find out exactly how you used FanGraphs this year, and how that compares to other Members. Don't be a victim of FOMO.
9. A weekly mailbag column, exclusively for Members.
10. Help support FanGraphs and our entire staff! Our Members provide us with critical resources to improve the site and deliver new features!
We hope you'll consider a Membership today, for yourself or as a gift! And we realize this has been an awfully long sales pitch, so we've also removed all the other ads in this article. We didn't want to overdo it.

Jonah Keri (Bloomberg Sports) will host a panel comprised of Will Leitch (Deadspin, New York Magazine), Michael Silverman (Boston Herald), Matthew Cerrone (MetsBlog.com), Alex Speier (WEEI.com), and David Biderman (WSJ) to discuss how baseball media coverage has changed in recent years and will continue to evolve.

Baseball Stats (10:40am – 11:15am)

Jon Sciambi (ESPN), Mitchel Lichtman, Sky Kalkman (Beyond the Boxscore), Dave Cameron, and David Appelman will discuss where advanced baseball stats are right now and where they’ll be headed. Moderated by Carson Cistulli.

Bloomberg Sports Presentation (11:20 – 11:35)

Bloomberg Sports will make a presentation of a brand new product.

FanGraphs Q&A (11:40 – End)

Dave Cameron, Carson Cistulli, Bryan Smith, Joe Pawlikowski, Mike Axisa, and David Appelman will take questions until we’re officially kicked out (a little after 12:00).

Afterparty (3:30pm – Game Over)

Additionally, we’re going to host a game-watching party for attendees to gather at a local watering hole and view that afternoon’s Boston-New York match-up together. Those who make it to the event will be invited to join us for several more hours of fun later in the afternoon. Details and directions will be given at the event.





 

David Appelman is the creator of FanGraphs.

Has the online stream idea been shot down by anyone yet?

We won’t be streaming it live, but we do plan on doing some sort of recording for a potential non-live viewing.

Yes, in lieu of a Moore/Cistulli Midwest bash (and its inevitable Brewers-centric bacchanal [make this happen!!]), a non-live internet viewing will suffice. For now. #jealous

A hashtag in a threaded discussion that does not have 140-character limits. Nice going, JohnnyBigPotatoes. Twitter is going to ruin the world.

Damn, this sounds absolutely awesome.

If I wasn’t an 18-year-old that’s about to go to college with tickets to Lollapalooza for the same weekend, that’s exactly where I’d want to be.

Please do more of these in the future… and please do one in D.C!

Hopefully, the event will be quite a success and there will be more of it in the future.I would also love to see one in DC.

Seriously, Chicago is a way cooler city! We have a lake and stuff!

Next time, Chicago gets to host.

We had a really big fire, so you owe us.

(But in all honesty, it sounds awesome and I am double-jealous.)

What better way to confirm the East Coast bias we all know exists than by having one of these in Boston?

And if I weren’t an 18-year-old… in Korea, that’s where I’d want to be.

Will the recording be posted on the homepage, or is there a space we should be watching?

I’m bummed. I bought a ticket to this but now it seems I won’t be able to make it. If anyone wants to purchase the ticket from me, shoot me an e-mail at cdispoto@gmail.com. Not a scalper or anything, just have a family commitment that has come up. Hope there is another one of these soon that I can make.

I’ve got two questions. One, if you’re young (like 14) can you still go to the after party thing? Two, are you assigned a seat or is it, “first come first serve”?

It says tix will be available at the door — but will they definitely be available? I don’t want to drag my tired, hungover self in from BK and get turned away because it’s sold out. And I don’t want to buy a ticket and then end up sleeping through it. (9 AM on a weekend, wtf? Some of us have cheap beer to drink, you know? I digress.)

Anyway, you guys won’t be turning people away at the door, will you?

Tickets will be available online up until 8am on Saturday, so you can check to see if they are still available that morning.

Thanks Dave! I should just buy one online anyway. For the motivation.
