[Jonathan Goode]

(NOTE: Follow-up reminder with content identical to previous one. This
notice differs from last week's by featuring the agenda for this week's
meeting.)

* June17, 2020  Sabermetrics. An approach to understanding Baseball,
presented by Andy Andres.*

* Andy Andres is a senior lecturer of natural science at the Boston
University College of General Studies <http://www.bu.edu/cgs/> who is an
expert in exercise physiology, nutritional biochemistry and baseball. In
addition to the work listed above, Andres writes, lectures, and speaks to
the media about the effects of steroids on baseball players, and he teaches
a course at Tufts University in sabermetrics, the data-driven analysis of
baseball performance. These pursuits allow the lifelong Red Sox fan and
athlete to synthesize his twin loves: baseball and scientific inquiry.
Andres is also an MLB datacaster at Fenway Park, a Data Analyst for
BaseballHQ.com <http://www.baseballhq.com/> and Head Coach/Lead instructor
for the MIT Science of Baseball Program. In the spring of 2014, Andres
taught a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) titled “Sabermetrics 101:
Introduction to Baseball Analytics
<https://www.edx.org/course/bux/bux-sabr101x-sabermetrics-101-1558>” on the
edX platform. (SABR: Society of American Baseball Research.)*

We will meet at the usual 10AM Wednesday time, BUT ONLINE, using the Zoom
Video Conferencing Application, facilitated by Steve Isenberg.

There is an instruction page at https://toku.us/zoomish but note that the
URL and phone number shown are examples.


Some time after 9:45AM on Wednesday, choose one of the following options:

   - If you have the Zoom application installed, start it and join meeting
   with ID 972 6146 0830
   - From your browser, go to: https://zoom.us/j/97261460830
   - From your smartphone, tap this: +16468769923,,97261460830
   - From a “dumb” telephone, call 1 646 876 9923 and enter meeting ID: 972

Once the connection is established, you may need to locate and use the
on-screen controls that turn on the sound and the video. You should be able
to see and hear others and they should be able to see and hear you, if you
have a camera and microphone (each of which you can unmute selectively).


If this email wasn't addressed to you and you would like to join the group,
or if you have a friend or colleague who might also be interested in
joining, it's easy.  Ask them to go to the group's wiki page at
http://LCTG.toku.us and follow the simple instructions under "Join the
Email List".  By being a member of the group you'll get reminders of
upcoming meetings and infrequent related messages. No advertising.  The
list is tightly managed.

Membership is free and given that all meetings are using Zoom you only need
to be connected to the Internet to join.  It's ok to join from anywhere you
can get a decent Internet connection, even if you're in orbit around Earth
or on another planet or a moon (if you're connecting from somewhere not on
Earth, we'd like to chat).
