TTO takes listener questions, talks about the Harper signing, & auction league considerations related to contract length and value; we also discuss, of course, the best things we saw this week.

If you have questions or tough decisions about keepers or draft picks, feel free to email us!

Join us as TTO reviews the Machado signing, goes through several listener questions about keepers and SS/SIM, talks about the benefits of an auction league with salaries, and debates the merits of soup.

TTO takes reader questions this week about taking a new team, keepers in a soft 8/hard 18, and a dispersal draft; we also go through several of the publicized proposals to change the game that have come out of the negotiations between MLB and MLBPA, and we dig into a piece by Sam Miller about how the free agent market has been changing and what it means for the future of baseball.

MLB and Players Discussing Rule Changes

Welcome to a small-market team's worst nightmare

The TTO podcast this week features a discussion about the release of the 2019 Scoresheet player list, the defensive ratings system, a few specific examples of how the defensive ratings were assigned, and some big picture thoughts on the future of Scoresheet.

Many of our topics were informed by, inspired by, or related to posts on the Scoresheet Talk Yahoo! Group.

We are joined this week on the TTO podcast by Mark Barry, who is taking over a team in BP Kings (one of the leagues we have been in the longest). We hope you'll enjoy listening to him chat about his Scoresheet experience last year, and his experience joining the Kings league.

The Three True Outcomes--Ben, Ian, and Jared--return for 2019 to talk about rebooting the podcast. We return after over a year off with many thanks to Rob McQuown of BP for his support and encouragement. 

We hope to rekindle some old connections and make new ones as we branch out from talking about Scoresheet exclusively. We're going to talk primarily about Scoresheet, but also about other related topics. We hope our first episode of 2019 finds everyone well and we look forward to hearing from you!

Missing baseball already?  This episode will help at least as much as thumbing through old issues of Baseball Digest.  After a four month break, TTO shakes off none of the rust and talks life, Scoresheet, and everything in between.

We recorded this podcast a week before the World Series, but we saw our shadow when we came out to record, so it took a few weeks to get the episode uploaded.  Feel free to add that to your ever-growing list of complaints.

Breaking our self-imposed semi-hiatus to focus on one of the highlights of the Scoresheet calendar: the 40th round.

The Three True Outcomes podcast is back to chat about the state of the podcast, the state of the game, and how both impact (or don't impact) Scoresheet.

The Outcomes take listener questions, discuss some of "their guys," and talk WBC.
