Darius is a Giants fan (thanks to Tim Lincecum) who did not think about how late west coast games would be on when he first got into baseball in 2008.

In addition to writing and podcasting for Batflips & Nerds, he is a fantasy writer for Baseball Prospectus, podcaster at Friends With Fantasy Benefits, and a writer and editor for Banished to the Pen.
