TTO gets together after the sad news about the unexpected passing of Rob McQuown to remember him and what he's meant to so many folks.

TTO catches up on the MLB All Star break including the ASG, Homerun Derby, and other current events around the sporting world.

On this episode, TTO is joined by Tom Cunningham to discuss his preferred methods for building teams (hint: prospects!) and gives a ton of great tips for listeners about what to look for as they endeavor to build a champion squad. We touch on the latest MLB draftees (actually talking about the players this time!) and how they compare to prospects already playing pro ball. We wrap, of course, with some stories about the best things we saw this week.

TTO reflects on the production of the first round of the 2019 MLB draft and takes several listener questions. We asked for questions and you delivered!

TTO takes some listener questions and we also review some discussions on Scoresheet Talk forum (Yahoo Group ss-talk) about luck balancing and how the simulation does and how it should work. Tune in for all that plus the best things we saw since the last pod!

TTO takes a listener question about evaluating their team and discusses the advice in the latest emails from Scoresheet about when it is time to start making drastic changes to your team. Is it time to panic? Tune in to find out how to take stock of your team in the early part of the season, and listen to us chat about the best things we saw this week and how we can connect food and musical theater.

TTO goes through a new plan for managing our Scoresheet teams, checks in on a couple of them, and banters about the changes in how baseball is played and how it impacts a simulated fantasy game. We talk through how a simulation might best adjust and adapt to certain types of outcomes occuring far less often, and we wrap with the best things we saw this week.

This week, TTO answers the most compelling listener question to date about which of us is which outcome, previews the AL, picks playoff teams and award winners, and goes over the best things we saw this week. We hope you'll tune in!

We're working on cleaning up some technical issues. If you've noticed any changes, good or bad, let us know what you think.

On the TTO podcast this week, we talk about the MLB rule changes, and the implications for Scoresheet. We also preview the NL, each in our own way. Of course, we also go over the best thing we saw this week (since the last podcast).

TTO sits down with guests Nate Stephens and John R Mayne to talk about this year's Scoresheet Mock Draft, including everybody offering takes on the tough decisions at the top of the draft, the best picks throughout the draft, and other trends they noticed this year.
