FanGraphs Meetup: Chicago (Tonight!)

by
July 17, 2014

It’s time to hang out with your local favorite writers and talk baseball… when there’s no baseball on. (It actually makes for better conversations, because everything you say doesn’t trail off into ellipses when something happens on the field.)

I’m off to Minneapolis for the All-Star game and then on to Chicago for Pitchfork and BeerGraphs business, so we’ll take this show on the road.

First up is a co-sponsored event with Twins Daily, who was gracious enough to reserve a space and get two kegs dedicated to attendees. FanGraphs and BeerGraphs will supplement with free appetizers. We may add some writers to the list as we go along, but for now, you’ll see the following at the event for sure

Mason’s Restaurant and Barre, Minneapolis
Monday, July 14th, 4:30-6:30

Eno Sarris, FanGraphs and BeerGraphs
David Temple, FanGraphs
Brandon Warne, FanGraphs

Brock Beuchamp, TwinsDaily

Next up, Chicago! The boring Thursday with no baseball shall not be boring again. We will gather, and we will drink great beers, and we will dream about the perfect roster together. FanGraphs and BeerGraphs will provide snacks.

The Rocking Horse, Chicago
Thursday, July 17th, 5-9

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.

With a phone full of pictures of pitchers' fingers, strange beers, and his two toddler sons, Eno Sarris can be found at the ballpark or a brewery most days. Read him here, writing about the A's or Giants at The Athletic, or about beer at October. Follow him on Twitter @enosarris if you can handle the sandwiches and inanity.
