San Francisco Meetup: Tonight!
This Thursday, at the Stock in Trade bar in the Marina district in San Francisco, we’re going to have a Dodgers/Giants meetup. We’ll be talking beer and baseball with some of your favorite writers, with a bonus of a former scout and coach to talk mechanics if you like. FanGraphs, BeerGraphs and the First Base Foundation — a foundation that helps make travel sports more affordable for disadvantaged young people while also helping them get into college — are happy to invite you to this gathering of baseball nerds featuring happy hour pricing, some free appetizers, and lots of baseball talk.

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.
Bah! I was in San Francisco until last night!! Timing, my kingdom for some damn timing!!
Good to see Sullivan’s not with them. Someone may actually force him to explain is Brandon Crawford BS or wear that UZR/150 crapola as a hat when he leaves.
Hah! Obviously leaving volcanomics off the agenda was the tipping point!
“Someone may actually force him to explain is Brandon Crawford BS”
What?
Will there be whining about Mean Bruce Bochy? Any chat chat about Brian Sabean not understanding OBP?
How about a review of the Michael Morse signing? Here’s the conclusion ya’ll wrote: “Brian Sabean set his sights on right-handed power and seems to be overpaying in playing time. Morse is not going to cost much, and there is no long-term commitment. But he’s probably not really going to help the team win. He’s a bounce-back offensive candidate committed to the wrong opportunity.” – sounds like #27 ranked FO territory to me.
Can we get an article on how bad Matt Cain’s xFIP has regressed and its a bad signing from fangraphs soon? Some mention of pixie dust and kool aid?
That joint has a lot of good pork products. Enjoy, and that sounds like a great cause. I’d like to meet in person… a couple writers on this site. Someday. Maybe.
OK, so where’s Brisbee?
“Kids” is what he said. Bug him!
Wow, I’ve really taken a tumble in the billing.
Non-sponsors got alphabetical treatment, so you’ll have to take this up with the ABCs.
I’m just going to work hard and do my best to work my way back up the alphabet.
Oh, I want to go. I’m not sure I’m enough of an EXTREME FAN though.
Count me in. Hopefully you guys won’t hold my mediocre taste in beer against me!
OMG OMG OMG so excited. Cheesesteaks at Jake’s for dessert!
Have fun with your jerkball, jerks.
LOL U
How bout one here in Winston-Salem, maybe at a Dash game? Wednesday night, then whiskey at Tate’s.
Whiskey for the men, and beer for the, well, you know.
Just neighing.
I hope there’s a long discussion of how we’re scheduled to miss Jose Fernandez next week. F THAT.
The Marina? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY MUST YOU DO THIS TO US
JJ – the Marina is great.
Eno – thanks for the food and stories (not in that order?)
Marina man.
You are insane. Unless you like an eternal frat party than sure
How can Brandon Crawford have an UZR of -2.0 so far in 2014, Belt has a -0.3, yet Hicks has a +2.1? We’re told this stat should be looked at over the long term. But, seriously, what good is it if around 35 games into a season, it’s saying Crawford is a below average SS defender? And, how does UZR deal with all these shifts now being employed by MLB teams?…
