Batting Practice, a Sorare MLB Podcast (Batting Practice - A Sorare Podcast)

We've reached the half-centennial mark on season 2 of Batting Practice, and today's episode is one of the best yet! We propose a new way of swapping Sorare NBA players and how the common system works in general, and discuss whether we would prefer the current way it works or something new!

It is also that time of year for resolutions, and we are no different here on the podcast! We make some Sorare resolutions for 2025, as well as set some goals that we would like to achieve throughout the Sorare season.

What? A day early? That's right! In honor the NBA season starting TONIGHT (as of uploading this episode), we have a banger of a TUESDAY release for you! We're all in on Sorare NBA, as we go over how we're approaching this season from a fantasy sports aspect, including ame modes, rewards, players to look out for to start the season and much more. Like and subscribe for more podcast content!

In episode 12 of Batting Practice, we have our first ever Sorare MLB reward opening, including 2 top 20 finishes, and reward boxes! Andrew also talks about how he is changing up his strategies when setting lineups and how it's worked out for him so far.

We hit 50, yes you heard that right 5..0.. episodes!! Thank you to all who have listened to any of our episodes, won a giveaway, or just told your good ol friends about us.

This is one of the best episodes we have made and feature some really interesting stories like Andrew meeting a Sorare MLB Manager at a music festival. This gave him the opportunity to see what a new manager thinks of the game and why they joined the platform initially.

Sorare announced a huge product update this week in the form of a new cash wallet. This will allow ordinary, non-cryto folks the ability to get funds onto the platform and likely set Sorare up for a media blitz to start the fall.

Finally, we dive deep into what type of lineups win competitions. We answer the question of whether a hitter or pitcher is best in your super flex spot, how many cards of a lower scarcity can you put in a mixed scarcity competition, and more. Listen now to learn how you can improve the lineups you make every gameweek.

All 3 of us are back for episode 43 of bAtting Practice, where we tackle head on the new rewards Sorare NBA put into place as of when recording this episode. Underdog got a boost, an all 3 classic competitions are now readily available to win cash starting GW 12.

Have you seen the latest polls of which players are expected to be All Stars?? Clearly, the average fan does not play Sorare because some of the best players this year have been snubbed because they do not play on well known teams (Rangers, Rays, I am looking at you). Not to mention the players voted ahead of these MVP candidates are having average to slightly worse seasons makes the totals even worse.

Go vote and use your Sorare MLB knowledge for good! https://www.mlb.com/all-star/ballot

Looking at which players are making the All Star Game is a great way to scout players for your Sorare MLB gallery. Just be aware some of the players selected may be in hype only and make sure you do some extra research before you buy :)

We found out which one of us spends too much time on Sorare with Andrew leading the pack with his < 1 hour response time. Jacob and Josh have respectable < 12 hour response times which honestly is not that helpful as knowing someone will reply within 1-12 hours is a very big timeframe. We would like to see Sorare add a users timezone to their profile to help facilitate more trades.

Finally, we round the podcast out with some games of By the Numbers and MLB Pickle. Thank you for watching and watch our Twitter to find out more info on our upcoming giveaways.

A short and sweet episode this week as we kick off 2023 with a morning podcast. Andrew's trip to Milwaukee led us to switch from our usual recording to an early morning special between work calls and other responsibilities. 

We hope you enjoyed our first Baseball Primer helping to educate you more on the game of baseball as we approach the 2023 MLB season. Stay tuned for more and let us know what you think on Twitter.

19 Episodes and Counting... if you get the reference than you're probably a fellow American; if you did not it is probably for the best. Let's get into the details!

Andrew, Jacob, and Josh share their thoughts on Scouting Mission #2 which wrapped up this week. Managers were asked to obtain 10 of 20 eligible players who represented the highest scorer each game week. If successful, they then received a Tier 2 Limited card of a random player. We have the takes on the podcast but if you participated or decided not to, let us know on Twitter or via the poll below if you are listening on Spotify. We would love to hear your feedback!

Auto-Bidding has arrived to Sorare NBA allowing managers to enter a max price they are willing to pay and Sorare will automatically bid for them until the auction value exceeds this price. This is a standard practice on auction sites like eBay and it is great to see Sorare trying to improve the user experience. While this sounds like a W on paper, listen to our takes to understand the full story on how this will impact your gallery and future success with auctions.

Thank you all for the continued support. We are just getting started.

Today's episode is the Sorare Cards and Common draft episode! We talk lots of strategy for the upcoming MLB season, players to keep an eye out for, and so much more!

Welcome back to your normally scheduled Batting Practice podcast! Andrew is now a married man, and all of the boys are back and more ready than ever to embarass ourselves looking at the preseason predictions we made. There are a few good ones in there like Paul Skenes and Cole Ragans, but also a few absolute stinkers like Tim Anderson. Overall, how did we do? Let us know! We will be back to revisit these at the end of the season!

Another week another podcasting platform. Shoutout to John Nellis for sharing his setup with us as we try to improve our recording quality and deliver the best content possible to our listeners. We inked a 1 year deal with Zoom for our official podcasting platform. Andrew makes a ridiculous bet about the future of Zoom's stock price as we see whether it will be above $100 by Episode 50, which is nearly 1 year away! Before we look to future milestones, it is important to celebrate the ones already achieved; the team was ecstatic that we made it to 10 episodes.

A lot has changed since Episode 1, please go listen if you are newer or just found us on your podcast feed. Sorare has launched a brand new sport through Sorare NBA and much to our earlier statements, Andrew, Jacob, and Josh have been buying cards and setting lineups after promising to wait and see for a bit (those are always famous last words). 

As the MLB Season winds down in a spectacular fashion with the World Series clash between the Houston Astros and the Philadelphia Phillies, the boys share their hot takes on what makes a game exciting to watch. After a barrage of home runs one night, both teams were scoreless through the next game until a late game breakthrough by the Astros. 

We will still be a baseball-first podcast but we want to share our thoughts on other Sorare Sports as we believe it is important for Baseball Managers to be aware of what is happening elsewhere. It seems like Sorare is rewarding managers who play multiple sports as we saw them gift us all 4 common cards this week to strengthen our Sorare NBA gallery just for participating in Sorare MLB. We expect a similar participation bonus when Sorare MLB launches again next year so we think its important to at least give the others a go. 

Episode 10 was full of many tangents, hot takes, and debates which we hope will keep you engaged and leave you entertained. As always you can find us on Twitter @BatPracticePod

In today’s episode of Batting Practice, Jacob and Andrew take on building a team of Sorare MLB players that are on BAD teams! Why? Well, with the upcoming playoffs, their prices are cheaper than ever! Since their teams are not going to make the playoffs, now is the time to add them to your squad for the long term. 

This entire episode is Sorare MLB focused, and expect more podcasts like this to come! 

In this episode of Batting Practice, the NBA all star game has our attention... or lack of it. It was not good.

We also create a mall food tier list since it';s a hot topic of today's episode.

Of course, your favorite segment Ride or Fade also returns with more topics to debate.

Year 2 of the Batting Practice podcast is officially 1 month in and we have nearly reached the best time to be a baseball fan: the postseason. This is the time of year when bad seasons are finally crushed when a team is knocked out of contention. Sorry Mets, Padres. We give you our thoughts on the current postseason picture and look at which teams are doing well of late as the playoffs draw ever near.

I was watching MLB TV today and saw a new Sorare MLB advertisement for the playoffs which the team wants you to get hyped about. We finally give you our long overdue reaction to that announcement and how you can position your gallery heading into the tournament. There are a lot of nuggets buried beneath the text and possibly even a reference to our podcast outro. Yeah we know you listen Jon.

It has never been a more exciting time to be a Sorare manager and MLB manager in particular. Let us know your thoughts and thank you for listening.

Can you feel the spring in the air? If you are like me trapped in this perpetual winter of the midwest than hang in there. It is a welcome change experiencing positive temperatures in Chicago after experience the subzero chills of Minnesota. 

Pitchers and Catchers report next week and before we know it, baseball will be back! Here on Batting Practice, we are making it a goal to be more active on social media from Twitter to YouTube to TikTok. Thank you to all of those who have participated with our Twitter polls as it is always great to interact with our listeners. 

The last few weeks have been filled with blockbuster announcements across Sorare Football and Sorare NBA. We have focused the podcast around these developments with the intention to keep you informed of the latest goings during the baseball offseason. Now that the news has subsided, it is time to get back on track with a dedicated baseball episode!

Understanding the Sorare MLB matrix is one of the critical aspects of the game. On today's episode we break down which stats matter and the player profiles that most complement the matrix. Listen now to hear our thoughts on what we like and would change about the scoring. Let us know what you think on Twitter.

It feels like we are at a crossroads for Sorare with sentiment souring across the football product which has coincided with a greater decline in Sorare NBA. WOW that was pretty negative which we can be at times on the Batting Practice Podcast but only to offer constructive feedback and show you our raw emotions with how we are feeling about the game. What does the future of Sorare hold, listen now to find out.

Happy New Year! It is another duo-cast for the holiday week. We will all be back in the studio for you all next week discussing our Sorare New Years Resolutions. In this episode we do a deep dive on where we would spend $150 dollars if we say won it from fantasy football (NFL) or maybe from Santa and other loved ones. Is this really enough to be competitive in any Sorare sport? We have you covered on the best ways to spend your holiday money on Sorare.

We are back with a new structure to our weekly Sorare and all things sports podcast with a blend of news across the sports and sorare multiverses. Do you think there is a world out there where Mbappe plays a Sorare card of mine? Probably not but we can all dream.

All jokes aside, we have noticed that the top podcasts out there have a structure to them and we want to deliver a cultivated experience to each one of our listeners. Thus, we have made the decision at the Batting Practice Podcast to implement this. Does that mean our episodes will become dry and rigid? Of course NOT. We simply want to have regular segments dedicated to Sorare Gameplay and News, Sports, and of course fun.

We had our best Sporcle result yet and cannot wait to continue to refine and elevate our listener experience. We do listen, tweet us today @Batpracticepod

Wowowowow, I cannot believe it but we have been officially podcasting for 1 year. This is a huge milestone that very few get to realize. Thank you to everyone who has listened along the way. YOU are why we make this content.

Since this is our anniversary, we wanted to do a special episode where we divulge our darkest secrets and share tales of baseball throughout our lives. You can see how long we have known each other and how baseball has served as a throughline in each of our lives.

Let us know what you think of this more personal episode on Twitter. Depending on the feedback, we may weave more personal anecdotes into the podcast so speak up!

Opening Day is 89 days away, and we are beginning our overview of how baseball and Sorare MLB work to prepare you for the upcoming season. These episodes will be sprinkled in over the next 3 months when things are quiet within the football and basketball games. It is hard to root for defense because deep down we all like seeing point totals increase or the swoosh of the ball as it hits the back of the net. Understanding defense is key to begin wrapping your head around how baseball works as mastering positioning and who is on the field is critical to understanding the other facets of the game. Here on batting practice, we strive to make you a better manager and leave you entertained. If you enjoyed this episode, leave us a rating on your podcast platform of choice or DM us on Twitter.

All 3 of us are back for this week's episode of batting practice! Andrew is back in the United States after a long honeymoon in Europe, and is ready to talk some baseball. But of course we have to update everyone on how we're doing as it's been weeks since we've last recorded all together. Jacob also had the privilege via Sorare MLB to go to a Braves game and meet some of the Sorare MLB community. Please like and share for a banger of an episode!

In this week’s episode of Batting Practice, we have sort of a double episode for you guys! The first half of the episode we go on our own World Series rants, just as the Dodgers manage to go up 3 games to 0 against the Yankees. Some of us still think it will go to a game 7 😂. 

The second half we address the  news about SorareData NBA and MLB shutting down. As unfortunate as it may be, DO NOT FRET, WE HAVE SOLUTIONS FOR YOU! Feel free to skip ahead to this section, as we believe it will be very helpful for managers who relied on SorareData to set their lineups, like us here on the podcast. 

It was the first week of MLB (and Sorare) MLB and we are here to discuss it all! We talk rewards, strategies, and how we plan on moving forward with Sorare MLB. Oh, and a no-hitter was thrown during the recording of this podcast! 

We are back with another exciting episode of the Batting Practice podcast. Following last week's spin of "All Rewards" we have 3 cards to giveaway. Be sure to check out our Twitter for how to enter - https://twitter.com/batpracticepod/status/1659250079058755616?s=20

In spirit of the Sorare Medium post this week in partnership with Jon Morosi - https://medium.com/sorare/early-underperformers-correa-lodolo-among-slow-starters-primed-to-bounce-back-faaf437dcb1b where he discussed his underperformers to start the year. Expectations can be high for many players and there is always a group that fail to live up to their draft positions or lofty projections when the season gets going.

We are officially 25% of the way through the season so we came up with our list of Bounce Back candidates that we believe will finish the season much better than how they started it. After all, I think the soccer adage applies to baseball too: form is temporary, class is permanent.

Listen to the episode to hear the reason why we picked who we did and check out the full list here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1btpmJhXMUhs-PGqVR1rYWcLRQbguC6hQopsy4DBarJI/edit?usp=sharing

Finally we end with a little Road to Glory Update. Man the common competitions can be fierce but we are confident our luck will change soon or else we may need to apply some consequences if we do not turn things around.

Thank you to all for listening and if you have not please rate and review us!

In this episode of Batting Practice, we go all in on the new champion game mode, and our ideas behind acquiring cards for it. Baseball starts this week, so make suer to tune in for the best Sorare MLB strategies!

Jacob and Andrew hold down the fort this week as Josh studies for his big PT exam. Word on the street is it went well and you may be able to see him for that knee or back pain thats been nagging you in 1 years time. I still cannot believe it is Episode 35 or that I am typing this away on my 27th birthday. My biggest advice to friends is to just have fun and especially on your birthday. It can be simple, do something nice for yourself like treating yourself to lunch or a cup or coffee, maybe even a Messi card?

Enough of my ramble, we have a podcast description to write. We are back for Week 2 of our Road to Glory team which we created on last week's podcast if you have not seen already. We had a decent week cracking into the top 50% of the prospect league earning us a HUGE upgrade in the closing pitcher position in Emmanuel Clase who is going right into our lineup.

Since we are starting out with this team we are covering a lot of our team management during the podcast to give you a perspective into how we set our lineups, swap cards and evaluate who we think is going to have a big gameweek. In future episodes these will be much smaller as we do not want to turn our podcast into a Road to Glory series. For that head over to our YouTube channel for regular updates on our team: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsO8lcRWSgu2TCBAYwlX-bw

Finally we end with our favorite game - MLB Pickle - https://mlbpickle.com/. Do we guess the correct player?

Thank you to all who watch and if you leave us a reply or DM on Twitter you just may get featured on a future episode!

Batting Practice is back with a vengeance as we get ready for the 2023 MLB Season that is 10 days away!!!

Sorare MLB get their stuff together and provided an update on Medium (or was it Twitter or Discord or Reddit? idk... ) - https://medium.com/sorare/key-updates-for-sorare-mlb-season-2-837ed954f1a0 ahead of the season which means we can get prepared and off to a strong start when the real season begins.

Since baseball is the primary focus of our podcast, we filled the whole hour with our breakdown of their post, analyzing every work to help you understand how to best position your gallery and which competitions we recommend focusing on. Sorare may also be listening to this podcast as a few of our recommendations made there way into the official changes in Season 2!

Thank you all for attending and now you are ready to get in the game.

Ladies and Gentlemen, get ready for another spectacular episode of the Batting Practice Podcast a show where we breakdown all the things happening in the world of Sorare with a focus on Sorare MLB and Sorare NBA.

Today's episode is focused on the new Sorare NBA In-Season Tournament that mirrors the one happening in the NBA. It is always special when fantasy sports match reality to give the game a bit more meaning. We break down exactly how the competition works so you can get your gallery ready ahead of time. If you intend to play at the Expert Level, open up your kids' college funds and bid on some Super Rare cards now so you can be one of the lucky contestants to play. Any criticism we offer is meant to be fair and we stress how cool this bonus contest is with Sorare giving out hundreds of THOUSANDS in prizes.

Thank you as always for listening and do not forget to follow us on X.

It is turkey week in the United States leaving the boys to record this episode early so we can continue to deliver our podcast every Saturday. This was a huge week of sports in the United States with traditions old and new where most of the country was expected to watch the England vs US match on Friday. Andrew, Jacob, and Josh had our predictions for how the game would go so listen in to see if we were right or wrong and have a few laughs at our expense.

Matchday 1 was underway with things not looking great for Andrew as he decided to go all in on Argentina for the global cup selecting both Messi and De Paul to perform well against Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately, the Saudis shocked the world and foiled Messi's first World Cup game leaving Argentina on the brink of elimination for Matchday 2.

Enough with the soccer talk.

Sorare MLB's first Scouting Mission wrapped up this week rewarding managers for collecting previous MVP winners with this year's AL and NL MVPs in Aaron Judge and Paul Goldschmidt. The boys offered their opinions on this first challenge along with recommendations on how Sorare can improve future ones. 

Also, Sorare MLB announced managers would receive 150xp every week on all cards held in their gallery to help reward early adopters with a nice XP bonus to ensure cards stay powerful for Sorare MLB season 2. 

We end the episode discussing the latest developments for Sorare NBA, discussing the implications of the new Eastern and Western Conference competitions and the new beginner league to help new managers onboard and learn the game.

We appreciate all of the support we have received thus far and look forward to continue making quality content for our fans. We are just getting started.

Our second episode of the Sorare Global Cup is live! We redeem ourselves guessing a world cup player on "Who Are Ya?", discuss if players should be sitting or not during the group stage and World Cup in general, and provide updates on Sorare NBA and MLB. Although there is not much to be talked about other than the Sorare global cup, we are seeing new game modes in NBA coming this upcoming game week. As for MLB, we now have common swaps and should be expecting more scouting missions soon! 

Episode 45 and we are still cooking. We have a fun episode for you today with a longer intro as we delve into what we were doing a year ago, looking forward to Josh's wedding. Jacob won a Julio autographed baseball from Sorare and showed us all what a great prize can look like. 44's signature looks great on any baseball. Andrew received a trade offer for his Corbin Burnes limited which featured an Alek Manoah plus some ether. The boys analyzed the trade live on the podcast and gave Andrew their take on whether it was a good or bad offer. Does Andrew accept?

The main topic for today's episode is our final review of the MLB All Star Game Rosters to see how our picks stacked up against what the players and fans voted for. Our prediction episode a few podcasts ago was pretty spot on with us nearly nailing the entire starting lineup for both the American and National League. Finally, we look back at the predictions that we made at the beginning of the year and see if they stack up against what is happening now that we are officially halfway through the MLB season. Listen now to hear how our picks fared so far and where we expect them to go in the second half of the season.

Episode 48 of Batting Practice is a huge one! Andrew (who is out of town for this week's episode) managed to win 1st place in Sorare NBA Daily Hoops, our best ever finish on the basketball side. However since it was daily he only managed to win a box. We then announce our first GIVEAWAY in a few months! Check out the short posted and comment to win! We also got a small lineup builder update, making our lives ever so slightly better! But it also still needs it's improvements. Let us know what you think below!

In this week's episode of Batting Practice, basketball makes its long awaited return! Sorare NBA announced many new topics in a post last week such as new rewards and reward systems, new competitions, and a few things that are returning as well. Of course, it's our job to speculate what these new updates may bring, so let us know what you think they may be adding!

Use my Sorare sign-up link for $50 in credit toward building the fantasy team of your dreams!! 🧢 https://sorare.pxf.io/batting-practice After a week talking about both fungible and non-fungible cards, we come back and go full gear on a Sorare MLB episode, building an entire 7 player team to use in the postseason! Oh, and it costs around $75! Not a fan of the team we built? Don't worry, we built an entire list of budget players to take a look at heading into the playoffs.

It's Trade Deadline time of the year and the stove is hot (well kind of). Not many trades have been made so far but SO MANY teams are in need of certain aspects to take them to the next level. In this episode we name some players to invest in RIGHT NOW in Sorare as we believe they will be traded to playoff contenders. Keep an eye out for who is rumored to be moving, as this list of players could change every day!

It's episode 37 of Batting Practice and we are back to talk some baseball! It's week 2 of the MLB (and Sorare MLB) playoffs and the series are keeping us all on hte edge of our seats! Listen now to hear what we have to say about which teams we think are going to move on, and which ones are going to fail hard.

We are officially celebrating our Lebron or Jordan, take your pick of NBA Goats, episode. You heard that right, we have now been recording for almost half a year and have produced 23 Sorare-focused episodes every Saturday for your amusement. If you have not already, leave a rating, and share us with a friend who has been telling you they need a new podcast to listen to. 

If you are new around here, we are Batting Practice, a Sorare MLB focused podcast that also highlights other developments in the broader game for Soccer and Basketball. If you are here for the baseball, we promise we have lots of great content cooking ahead of Opening Day 2023 which is approaching in less than 2 months! 

There has been lots of news and excitement for Sorare NBA and Football over the past few weeks with the Premier League's arrival to Sorare kicking off the week with a bang. The boys share their thoughts on the league itself, players we like, and how we are approaching the draft to ensure we have the best squad possible for the rest of the season.

We finish the episode with our favorite game, Who Are Ya? as we try to name a specific player from the Premier League. Will we prevail and identify the player or be left ghosted and confused? Listen now to find out. 

In Episode 5 of Batting Practice, we discuss both the MLB and MLS 😱. Spring training and the MLS season are both back!

We then take a stab at the ultimate video gamer release date quiz, where we absolutely nail down some answers.

Episode 15 was freshly recorded on Thursday following the news from Sorare heard around the world on the future state of thresholds heading into 2023. The announcement of the announcement sparked a large amount of speculation which was finally put to bed when the Sorare team not only announced thresholds are staying but expanding to new scarcities. We have yet to see them expand beyond Sorare soccer but the capped system they introduced would scale nicely into Sorare NBA. Aaron Judge received the largest contract in MLB history and will be a Yankee for the rest of his career. Can he keep up this MVP form into 202: and beyond? Finally we end with a time honored tradition on the Batting Practice podcast: Panini Pack openings. This time the opening comes with a twist. One of the players from each pack must be used in our next Limited Contender lineup where we will be competing against each other. Can you beat our score. This competition will start with the midweek slate beginning on Monday

We are back with another episode of the Batting Practice Podcast and boy do we have a good one for you. Baseball is hitting its stride as the season shakes out flukes from the real deal. The list of players who had fantastic months is endless while the list of players with fantastic seasons is much shorter.

We are pleased to share that we received expressed written consent from Sorare to start a Road to Glory account for baseball which will allow us to combine our common knowledge and share the progress of our common team as we move up divisions. Any limited rewards we win will be immediately given away so make sure to follow us closely as we hopefully have some fun rewards to share.

During Episode 34, the boys draft their Road to Glory team, pooling our collective knowledge on players we like and those that are overrated. Listen in to hear our strategies for drafting as well as for scouting purposes as we give loads of budget player recommendations that can strengthen your baseball lineups. We will be sharing our lineup every week as well as how we did. This will allow us to have additional giveaways where we do "Beat our Score" competitions that act almost as a Batting Practice threshold.

Per usual we get into some shenanigans and have a few laughs mostly at Josh's expense this week who forgot to set his Sorare MLB lineups ahead of the early morning deadline. Don't worry, he will not do it again and especially not for weekend competitions where YOU can win cards we give away. We also give Josh some tips that should be helpful for all managers to avoid missing lineup deadlines.

Lastly, we end with some fun, or Jacob's version of fun, which involves a quiz testing our knowledge of the best players across baseball from each of the last 100 seasons. Yes, baseball is an incredibly old sport. Have some laughs as we struggle and see if we can beat the site average of 62%.

Thank you very much for listening and if you are new, be sure to like and follow.

Batting Practice will remain a dedicated Sorare MLB podcast, covering the latest updates to the game and the world of baseball. However, being the Sorare addicts that we are, we will be playing every sport that is launched and sprinkle in our thoughts on other games from time to time. With MLB Playoffs in full stride, we wanted to take the time to share our thoughts on the launch of Sorare NBA and what that means for the platform overall. We have discussed how growing up in the States has formed our love of baseball, basketball has also been a love of ours from playing as kids to watching our hometown Milwaukee Bucks take the championship on the back of Giannis Antetokounmpo. 

Let us know your thoughts on Twitter on whether you want us to talk more about Sorare NBA as we are committed to creating the content you want to watch. 

With that said, Sorare MLB had a dramatic week with the closing of the Gameweek prior to all games played to a normalizing of rewards after a large amount was given away during the Wild Card Round. We have all the takes you have been looking for and more as some of us stood to gain massively if the Yankees game had been included.

We are just getting started!

Episode 40 is here and we cannot believe how fast time has moved. It is feeling like summer and the days are getting longer. Soon baseball will be the only major sport played in the US after the NBA wraps up. Todays main topic is an attempt to build a new team live on the podcast that would cost $50 at a Limited Level and $100 for Rares. Keep in mind we will be combining scarcities for the rare all Star team and plan to play our 3 limiteds to keep the cost down. How expensive have players gotten? Is this even possible? Will we only be able to afford bench players? All that and more is answered on today’s episode. As always we end with some of our favorite games like MLB Pickle. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we liked putting it together.

A quick note on this podcast before we get to the usual description, the high quality video tracks were broken due to a glitch in our recording software so we are forced to use our less quality backup tracks. We are currently evaluating our podcast software as we strive to make the highest quality content for our listeners. Keeping up our trend following Sorare NBA's Launch we dedicate the first portion of our podcast sharing our thoughts on the game so far. Jacob and Josh could not resist the temptation to pick up a few cards as competitions opened sooner than expected. We are all excited about the potential of the Sorare NBA game and how it can help build out the Sorare ecosystem, helping Sorare MLB in the long term.  The boys give their thoughts on Sorare MLB's juicy teaser on what they have planned for the offseason as there was quite a bit to react to. What will competitions look like and what sort of improvements do we want to see in Season 2. We understand there has been a bit of controversy around the Sorare MLB game around auction frequency, prize pools, and more. We have our takes on this as we try to hear both sides of the debate as the conversation gets going.  Let us know your thoughts on Twitter with this continued NBA/MLB split. We have several baseball only episodes planned for the offseason to make you a better manager before the next season. That's all we are saying for now :) . Like we always say, we are just getting started!

I had no idea March could feel so much like Christmas. After a very quiet offseason, Sorare MLB is dropping news and updates faster than Drake takes between albums. If you missed it, Sorare MLB announced some major updates for Season 2 including new competitions, rules changes, and more. If you want to hear more about that, listen to our last episode.

There is so much to cover and not enough time in every episode so we are breaking things up into smaller episodes so you do not miss any important details. This week we took a close look back at Sorare MLB's Reddit AMA hosted by David Byttow - https://www.reddit.com/r/Sorare/comments/11r86z8/sorare_head_of_engineering_david_byttow_answers/ . There were some good questions and vague answers so we did our best to parse the business speak and deliver our takes and thoughts on what the team is actually saying. Of course we like to keep it fun and light and hope you laugh along the way with us.

Season 2 cards are live and on the market and boy do they look good. Props to the Sorare design team for pushing the design forward and create some very pleasing, visually designed cards. We give our thoughts on what the market could look like, especially for players switching positions like Spencer Strider only minted as a Starting Pitcher.

Finally, we end with our MLB Pickle, will the streak continue?

It’s the holiday season on this week’s episode of Batting Practice! Sorare Advent Calendar is in full swing, and so are new game updates! Expect some awesome new competitions coming in Sorare NBA for the NBA Christmas games, including an entirely new game mode which we explore, as well as special rewards. In preparation for these new features, we revise some strategies and go over how to base your teams around them! And of course, for our dedicated listeners, Josh won an extra Sorare hat, so expect our first giveaway in a while to be coming soon! 

It's the week before All Star week for the MLB and we are excited over here at Batting Practice! Going over the rosters, we decide to anallyze who deserved to make it, who we were surprised to see, and who got rejected from the list. We also start to prepare for the Sorare All Star MLB game, which will come with thousands of $ of prizes in and of itself.

In this episode we use SorareNBAJet's Card Usage Tool to determine if we have too many cards, which cards are we actually using, and most importantly which ones are winning you rewards.

All 3 of us are back discussing Sorare's largest update ever- Sorare Rivals! We talk about how we've been doing, what needs to be added, and if we can expect for other sports to follow.

In episode 19 of Batting Practice Season 2, we are back to our normal recording and uploading schedule! Has anyone else been struggling to sell Sorare cards recently? We have, and discuss why and how to possibly offload cards you no longer want/need. We then take a trip back in history and talk about some of our favorite memories from Little League baseball!

In this episode, we make our 2024 MLB Season predictions! Keep an eye out for these players on Sorare!

Our podcast is now legally allowed to drink in the US which means we have a fun one for you all this week. This was a huge week for Sorare Football as the team outlined their plans for the sport in 2023. We saw a whole host of new game modes unveiled including league specific competitions for La Liga, Seria A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1. Not stopping there, Sorare announced a series of capped competitions at each scarcity which award different scarcities allowing users to progress up the ladder to higher divisions. It seems like the community consensus around the updated can be summed up with confusion as it takes a master cartographer to unpack the true message from the team ( National Treasure anyone? )

We are bringing back the fun on the podcast as the boys play "Guess the Club" which challenges you to identify the club in question using the prompts the game returns like how far away the club is from where you guessed. For example England is 1000km west of Sweden. 

Please leave a like if you enjoyed this episode and share it with your friends. We appreciate all the support we have received thus far and are excited to see where this podcast goes in 2023.

Andrew, Jacob, and Josh review the latest updates to the Sorare MLB game including a new referral program, unique auctions, and lineup rule changes. Listen to us talk about our relationship with soccer ( football ) and how that led us to find Sorare. Our perspective as Americans is a unique one within the Sorare community so give us a listen as we delve into the world of Sorare MLB. We hope to leave you entertained and with a deeper understanding of the best Sorare MLB strategies and an appreciation for the game of baseball.

We are back with another episode of the Batting Practice podcast during the first week of the MLB Playoffs. This is an exciting time to be a sports fan between the coming NBA season, European Soccer madness, and of course the MLB Postseason.

The Wild Card round has just wrapped up after just 2 days after every winning team completing a successful sweep of their opponent. Unfortunately for the Brewers, this means their 92 win season fell short in the first round.

Andrew and Josh had the opportunity to attend the 2nd game and witness their favorite team's defeat in person. RIP to all of the Brewer stacks out there. No matter the outcome, we both had a great time and are thankful to the entire Sorare MLB team for providing a great experience. Bonus, you may see Josh and I featured on some new campaigns they are doing for what Sorare MLB managers can expect from playing the game.

Finally we do a live look at the Championship Chase and will get into it more next week when we break down what it takes to win in the postseason.

We are back with another episode of the Batting Practice podcast, your favorite Sorare MLB podcast. Josh joined us for half the episode as the demands of PT school are a bit much with over a dozen examinations over the next few weeks. Wish him luck on Twitter.

That did not stop us from gloating a bit too much this episode that we did not even get to our prepared content. Jacob had his biggest win ever in Adolis Garcia who had one of the biggest single day games in Sorare MLB history. The power of Sorare is when your rewards compound on each other and with that much firepower in his lineup, watch out for his first podium. Rewards are not limited to baseball as the boys share their recent successes in the game of football and basketball. Sorare can be fun when you focus on the positives.

We are doing our first ever Rare card giveaway on Twitter right now https://twitter.com/batpracticepod/status/1654203616276758529 that will run from now through gameweek lock on Monday. Sam Moll is a relief pitcher for the Oakland (Las Vegas) A's and is a key piece to help any manager progress from limiteds to rares.

We cover our performance of our road to glory account and set our lineups for the weekend. Listen to how we analyze our team and scout players as our goal is to entertain and make you a better manager.

Finally we end with a Sporcle quiz on naming baseball players who share the same name. Take it now and see if you can do better than us. https://www.sporcle.com/games/hempick/mlb-baseball-before-and-after

In our first official episode since the beginning of the MLB offseason, we start off in stride giving our final thoughts about the World series and overall first impression of the MLB Sorare season. However, with a long stretch of no games going on, we delve into to Sorare's other sports too, NBA and Soccer! (Anyone see the ever so slight name change?)

Sorare Soccer just recently came out with the new Global Cup world cup mode, and what better way to celebrate it than to start our own league!

And finally, we get a chance to talk about Sorare NBA drops and swaps and the relevant strategies involved with them. Great info for new and experienced players, our NBA section is packed full this week. And for those who watch until the end, we have a special unboxing surprise that we would totally recommend staying along for! 

Welcome to episode 64 of Batting Practice! In this episode we tackle the Sorare NBA season so far. We dive into rewards, how are teams have been performing, game modes, and so much more. We also discuss the NBA In Season Tournament and how teams are approaching it, as well as how we are approaching it from a Sorare standpoint!

It's a duos episode! With Jacob busy at work, Josh and Andrew take over and cover the new collection game that has come to Sorare MLB! And boy is it WAY better than anything we have seen before. We then go into talking about the MLB London Series and how it panned out. Also, with it now being the middle of June, its time to start talking about disappointing teams this year. Will they turn it around or continue to struggle? Josh and Andrew have your answer.

What's going on everybody?! We're back with season 2 episode 35 of Batting Practice and today is the first time we really dive deep into Sorare NBA. Sorare has given us a great amount of info heading in to the new season, with more to be released this week! Stay tuned for rewards and gameplay updates as they will be dropping throughout the rest of this week. Of course, we also have to talk about the MLB playoff races and where we stand with one week left of games!

Winning Rewards is fun right? We will never complain about cards we win since that is a real whale problem but we do point out some wackiness related to Andrew's rewards this week across Tiers 2 and 3 for Sorare MLB.

This is also not a glitch. Today is actually Tuesday and we have a brand new podcast for you to minimize the time between recording and when you get to listen. Let us know if this makes the experience better as we want to make sure our content is as relevant as possible.

We are also excited with this episode to share we are shifting more towards a Sorare Sports Hybrid podcast where we bring you updates focused on US Sports with the occasional sprinkling of soccer. With that, we are jumping right into Season 2 of Sorare NBA, breaking down the preseason announcements and reacting to all of the new changes. Let us know what you think of all of the changes and especially the new card designs.

Thank you all for listening and dont' forget to tell a friend to listen as well.

New podcast software, who dis? We have decided to upgrade our production to improve the listener experience and make the audio and video quality substantially better. This will also allow us to better share clips to TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube so make sure to find us across all your favorite socials.

Episode 7 is split between our building excitement for Sorare NBA as we give our takes ahead of the coming community event on Tuesday, October 18th. Our main topic of the day was our reflection on how our teams performed in week 1 of the playoffs. The episode is fun of laughs, mostly at Josh's expense, who found 6/7 cards in his lineup eliminated after the games concluded. 

This episode features an exciting giveaway from Josh so stay glued to our Twitter feed where we will share additional details on how you can enter and win 2 cards this week!

We say this a lot but we truly do appreciate all of the support we have seen on our podcast thus far; the upgrade we made this week is our commitment to making our podcast as entertaining and quality we can for our listeners. We are just getting started!

In this week’s episode of Batting Practice, it’s that time to do a Sorare NBA primer! We of course start off with some baseball talk as both championship series are heating up! Who will take the NLCS? Can the Guardians come back from 2-0 down?

We then dive full on into Sorare NBA talk, and how we plan out on starting the season off. Strategies, new cards, new rewards, new competitions, and so much more, we are all in for this season of Sorare NBA! 

We're back duocasting this week with Andrew out of town, and it's time to answer YOUR questions! Of course there were plenty of good questions about Sorare that we dive into, but we also talk a lot about the MLB in general. We compare this season to previous seasons, talk about relative special game week strategies, and much more! And of course, a classic finish with the MLB Pickle.

In this episode of Batting Practice, we have 4 days left of Sorare Christmas until the big day is here, and according to their newest post, they've saved the best surprises for last! We then dive headfirst into two surveys that Sorare sent us, and explain our reasoning behind our answers! Sounds boring right? Well, make sure to listen to the entire episode, as it's filled with plenty of information, yet also fantastic content! Happy Holidays!

Jacob and Josh are back for another duocast this week and are tackling the entire Sorare MLB season as a whole. We talk about how rewards have changed, how competition has increased, and things we still want to see in the future, as well as much more! Also, stay tuned until the very end for a new trivia game that we play! (And the pickle too, of course)

We are back with another great episode of the Batting Practice podcast. This episode we went all over the place and ended up talking through some exciting topics that led us to split our main topic in 2 with the rest covered on next week's episode.

Because we all pretend to be whales, it can be easy to ignore what is happening on the high roller version of Sorare MLB with Uniques and Super Rares. In case you missed it, Shohei Ohtani, the greatest player ever, had his 2023 Unique go on auction this past week where it sold for a very underwhelming 14k. This is a huge drop from last year's price of 90k and shows the state of the Sorare MLB Unique market. The boys get into what it means for your gallery and the game overall. It matters what happens in other divisions you are not playing as Sorare is one ecosystem.

The main topic for today's episode is a live look at the MLB Standings as the boys break down which teams we expect to make the playoffs. This matters from a Sorare perspective as managers could gain an extra month of utility from their cards, simply for choosing the right teams. We also hope Sorare MLB follow in NBA's path to have a special playoff long competition with fun prizes.

Thank you all for watching and the great support shown so far. We are just getting started.

We cannot believe it has been 1 month since the first episode was released and have been blown away by the support from the Sorare community. 

Sorare MLB is all about progression and Josh is ready to make the leap from limiteds into his first Rare team. He was able to win a Rare Card from the Limited Pro Competition and is now seeking the advice of Andrew and Jacob on how to build this into a full Rare team. Like many small managers, Josh has a strict budget and has given Andrew and Jacob 0.2 eth to work with. How far will that take us? Will we be able to build a competitive team capable of winning cards? Listen now to hear our thoughts on what cards to look for and how to best construct your roster to compete in Rare divisions. 

Before we get into our main segment, the group discusses the Shohei Ohtani Unique auction which went for $90k, a record breaker for Sorare MLB. While this amount of money is huge, it is significantly less than the most popular uniques from Sorare Soccer. Will Spencer Strider, the ultimate cheat code card sell for more than Ohtani's card did? No need to worry, Batting Practice has you with our takes to keep you the most informed Sorare MLB manager.

Year 2 of the Batting Practice podcast is off to a roaring start as we look towards the MLB Playoffs and look at which players you may want to target if you are building for the postseason or planning to dominate in Sorare MLB next year. This is usually the time of year where we see non playoff players dip in price as their utility ends in a few weeks while playoff guys continue to rise in value as they have extra games and will be important pieces in the playoff long competition.

We continue to incorporate more news from around the MLB into the podcast so let us know what you think of this new segment. As always we keep the banter fresh as we offer our opinions and sometimes we get heated ;)

Thank you all for listening and share this with a friend if you have not already.

The MLB Season is fast start and surprises are found all around the league: did you see the undefeated Rays coming? That is the fun of a new season as it gives every franchise the opportunity to start fresh and have hope that maybe it is their year. That said we are barely 10% into the extended regular season which did not change the total number of games which still sits at 162. Thus if your team, Sorare or MLB, is off to a bad start, do not fret as there are many more games to be played.

That said, the boys have been scouring the data after the first few Sorare MLB Gameweeks and have answers to important questions like

1) Do I put a Starting Pitcher who is Relief eligible in that Reliever Position? Think Spencer Strider or Podcast Favorite, Chris Flexen.

2) Am I better off playing an extra hitter or pitcher in the flex position?

3) Should I play my best cards in the Pro or All Star Competitions?

While we do like to discuss serious things like you saw above, we want to make the podcast fun and engaging so we sprinkle in a few goofy segments that hopefully make you laugh. We are excited to bring back highlights and lowlights which feature 2 plays from the previous week that are exceptional and disastrous for the players and teams involved.

Bonus Segment: In case you have not seen, teams are celebrating home runs by adorning celebratory hats or using props which is just plain fun. We like fun baseball and are glad to see teams and players embracing it. That said we do have to rank teams based on these hats/props and not everyone can be a winner. Let us know what you think of our list!

Wow, can you believe it has been 37 Episodes of the Batting Practice Podcast? We have a heavy and controversial topic this week asking whether Sorare MLB has been a success or a failure! One thing we do know is that this podcast has been successful based on our goals so thank you to every one of our listeners out there.

Getting into it, we try to take a balanced approach asking the deep questions of whether we think the game has been successful or not. To answer this, Jacob has pulled some great numbers so that we are not talking out of our behinds the whole time. We may be a bit biased as one of the leading Sorare MLB Podcasts but try our best to approach it from both sides. Let us know what you think on Twitter as that is the perfect place for civil discussion.

As always we balance out the heavy content with a light hearted fare with story time, fungibles (physical cards from Jacob), and Sorare rewards we won over the last week. Come have a laugh with us or at our expense. Let us know if Andrew is too gullible as we can give you his phone number to sell him stuff.

Stay tuned to our Twitter as we spun the All Rewards slice on our wheel this episode which means we are each giving away a reward if we win. This could end up being our biggest giveaway yet after Andrew's Corbin Burnes.

Thank you all for listening and tell a friend about us if you have not!

All 3 of the Batting Practice crew are back and better than ever ready to talk some ball! July baseball is here and so is the MLB All Star game and monthly Sorare July Chase, offering over $100,000 in prizes and we're so ready to take a podium spot. we're also way too early talking about the playoffs (but who isn't at this point), and decide to pick some guaranteed bubble teams to make the postseason, as well as eliminate some top tier contenders!

Episode 13 of Batting Practice is all about rewards! We first go over specific reward tiers and how they work, as well as changes we would like to see. We then open over 20 rewards, and are doing a massive giveaway to celebrate! Follow us on Twitter for how to enter!

We are BACK with another episode of the Batting Practice podcast bringing you the best highlights from around the sporting world and what they mean for your Sorare gallery.

The Los Angeles Lakers have won the inaugural NBA In-Season Tournament after they defeated a hungry, cash-strapped Pacers who played like their Christmas Bonus was on the line. For this first tournament it was unknown whether teams would take it seriously but judging by the fact that most playoff favorites won or made it out of their group, yeah the big boys were trying. What implications this has on the NBA Playoffs or eventual Championship run are unknown at this point.

Shohei Ohtani is headed to your Los Angeles Dodgers and yes it is always a good week to be an LA fan. The stars aligned and descended from the hills to welcome MLB's newest superstar who smashed every contract record to record a 700 million contract netting him 2 million every year. Yes I did pass 4th grade math and I double checked my work because that number is absolutely correct. Ohtani has created one of the most team and tax friendly contracts in existence by deferring most of his payout to the end of his contract. What a nice retirement gift to go with his future World Series rings.

We have the takes and thoughts on what this means for the world of sports and of course your Sorare gallery.

Thanks for listening and dont forget to share us with a friend.

It is hard to believe the MLB Playoffs are here as it feels like yesterday we were building our first lineups for the new Sorare MLB. We share our experience with the game thus far including how we got involved, our strategies when building our gallery, and of course our best finishes.  Following up from last week's episode, Andrew and Jacob share that they were able to win playoff tickets from the Playoff Push event. We are super happy that Sorare MLB is pushing the boundaries of NFTs and real-world experiences, especially a world-class one like a MLB Playoff game. The boys also look at the coming games for the Wild Card Round and are impressed Sorare did not nerf the prize pool despite only 8 teams playing. If you can even make a partial lineup, we recommended giving it a try as you never know what scores are needed to win prizes.  As always, thank you for your continued support as we continue to build out our podcast. If you have any questions or ideas, find us on Twitter @BatPracticePod. If you have not, please take the time to rate and review us as this will help others find our content.

We're back to our normal upload schedule for this week's episode of Batting Practice and we have a good one for you! We hit all 3 Sorare sports in this one, starting off with the Sorare and Sorare NBA Christmas Advent Calendar. Josh then tries his luck at earning a special card by using the day 5 promo! And finally, Josh stays on his account and enters into the MLB Club Shop raffle.

We hope you are having a wonderful Holiday Season and are able to relax and watch some sports of your choosing. We wanted to do a special episode for our final podcast of 2023 where we are awarding some praise and criticism to some of the best NBA and MLB players to show their prowess this year.

Let us know what you think of our picks and we look forward to a wonderful year of podcasting in 2024!

Use my Sorare sign-up link for a FREE limited card! 🧢 https://sorare.pxf.io/batting-practice In this episode of the Batting Practice podcast, we get our biggest update yet this season for Sorare MLB! We dive into new weekly and monthly tournaments, new cash prizes, and how we plan on treating the new tournaments.

In this week’s episode of Batting Practice, we’re back to a ducats as Andrew was having car trouble 🥲. But don’t worries, he is ok, and Jacob and Josh provide you with a fantastic MLB playoff week one episode. We talk first round reactions, bold predictions, and 4 players to invest in for Sorare this postseason. Please like and subscribe for more podcasts like this one! 

Episode 46 and one of our craziest to date! We have a fantastic episode for you guys detailing what to do if you win the Sorare lottery. We also discuss what to do if you win any reward in general. This conversation stems from Josh having his best ever week on Sorare and the Podcast's best finish to date. Where did Josh finish and in what competition? More importantly what did he win? Also did Jacob hack the MLB Pickle?

The main topic in this week's episode is what to do if you hit it big on Sorare and win a big card or big Etherium reward. We also quickly discuss our thoughts on the MLB Home Run Derby and have some live reaction to the MLB All-Star Game. Shoutout to the National League for finally ending the American League's winning streak. If you're dying to know what happened with Josh's lineups and more importantly what/who he won, listen now!

This is one of my favorite episodes we have ever made and we are still just getting started! We are starting a new series, probably a smaller part of the podcast going forward where we review one of our listener's Sorare MLB galleries. Today we are looking at a gallery submitted by a friend of the show, Miguel, who has a Sorare username of "Moneyball to Glory", a top tier name.

Like his name indicates, Miguel is trying to Moneyball his way into Sorare success, starting with a small budget and using his scouting skills to find undervalued players. We took a look at his gallery and were impressed by the players he has been able to acquire and the level of SO7 success he has managed as well. For our full breakdown and analysis, be sure to watch the whole podcast :)

We battled through some technical difficulties that thankfully did not stop us from hearing about Josh's success over the weekend where he netted a tier 4 rare card that finally gave his gallery the depth he was looking for. Not be outdone but is anyone surprised to hear that Jacob finished top 50 in Limited Pro, winning a rare card from limiteds as well as some eth. This is why the pro divisions remain our favorite for any scarcity given their strong payouts.

Finally, Andrew is now a Trader? Yeah maybe... he is getting used to it and trying to play a valuable part in the Sorare MLB ecosystem. If you need to sell cards in a hurry, send a message his way.

Thank you for all of the support!

Phew, Episode 22 has been recorded and completed with the boys recording a day early this week due to busy schedules. No matter how crazy thing get, we are dedicated to creating quality content for our fans and will make accommodations to make sure this podcast goes out in a timely manner. 

The boys have had success (or luck) with Sorare NBA over the past few gameweeks. Andrew and Jacob each placed in the top 50 last weekend earning them a T2 card. To see what we won, head over to our TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@battingpracticepod. The podium remains ever elusive but we are hopeful for a Batting Practice win sometime in 2023.

Do not let the title scare you away. Andrew shares his approach to gallery construction for Sorare NBA which involves amassing a large number of limited cards as the foundation for his gallery and then building up to higher scarcities from there. Is he a fool for holding so many limited cards, let us know on Twitter @BatPracticeaPod

The main topic for this weeks episode involves our approach to roster construction for the upcoming capped mode competitions. Cap Mode 240 presents managers a unique opportunity to play a variety of lineups such as 4 outfield players with no keeper or 5 total players including a goalkeeper. We do not have to tell you how expensive goalkeepers can be. Thus, if you can play capped 240 without one, it represents an opportunity for managers on a budget to grind thresholds post gameplay update. Do not worry if this makes your head spin as we have the answer for YOU on today's podcast. 

Thank you for listening and if you have not already, share us with a friend. We are trying to build a community and what better way to start is building around our listener's own community. 

Alrighty, do we have a banger of an episode today! We finally recorded AFTER Sorare released a HUGE update, albeit they were a little unclear. No worries, that left us plenty of room for speculation! We talk about new reward possibilities, crafting cards, and earning more. We also talk about some important news out of the MLB (both good and bad).

A $20-$25 value. Leave a comment in the section below letting us know if you think Yelich is going to come back this season! One winner will be picked at random. Oh also, we literally look at all 30 MLB teams and rank them off of no basis whatsoever. That was kind of fun.

In Season 2 of Batting Practice, we are switching things up. Although we are still going to talk weekly Sorare, it won't be the focus of the whole episode! At the end of the day we're just 3 guys having a little fun podcasting. Expect topics like:

Baseball (Lots of it) ⚾️

Weekly Stores 🎙️

Tier Lists 📝

Sorare ⚽️

... and so much more! Thanks again and cheers to Season 2!

We are BACK with another episode of the Batting Practice Podcast with our 65th episode EVER. We kick off the episode with a buying bonanza taking advantage of Sorare's first ever Cyber Week deals with 50% off an Auctioned Card (up to $40). Unfortunately, if you are reading this, the deal has expired. Just know if you saw the auction prices for yesterday, no we are not in a bull market, Sorare holiday season has started early.

Sorare makes a lot of changes and it has become nearly impossible to stay in the loop unless one dedicates part of their Sorare hobby to following the game's news. Do not fret as the Sorare team has heard our calls for more information. The team is now sharing a weekly report for both the soccer and basketball games which covers all of the updates for the week. This makes it a lot easier for the average manager to find out all the latest news for the game we all love.

The MLB Offseason is kicking into high gear with free agency. Ohtani is on the market and probably will be signed to his new team by Christmas. Will his new jersey be your stocking stuffer? Jon Morosi, a Sorare Media Legend and MLB Correspondent, has made the bold call that Ohtani is headed to the Atlanta Braves. Dodgers fans, we think you will have the last laugh with the possible dual signings in Ohtani and NPB Star Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

The NBA never fails to keep things interesting with Pop hopping on the mic to yell at Spurs fans to STOP booing Kawhi Leonard. A Lakers fan almost tore his ACL while attempting a half-court shot and unfortunately Dru Smith actually injured himself for the season on Cleveland's uneven court.

Thank you for listening and do not forget to leave a review or share us with a friend.

In case you live under a rock or made the smart decision to never get a Twitter or join the Sorare Discord, sentiment within the community has soured of late. This has spread to several of the top Sorare podcasts this week as the negativity has become trendy and relevant. Here on Batting Practice, we have felt the extreme negativity has been a bit overblown but we are not afraid to call Sorare out where we see problems. 

Thus, we are excited to bring you a fresh way to cover this sentiment: Sorare Mean Tweets. We scoured the depths of Twitter to find some scathing takes (not very hard) and read them to you word for word. To respect the authors we are keeping it anonymous as we want to let this Episode speak for the community not as individuals.  

Sit back, listen in, and let us debate the merits of each author's argument while also keeping it light and fun. After all, Sorare is just a game, right?

We are back with another episode for you today covering Pt 2 of our MLB Playoff Predictions. Last week we totally nailed the AL Postseason predictions so pulled out the Magic 8 ball again to give you our best predictions for the NL Playoff picture. The playoff race is on and it is not even the trade deadline. Which teams will make season-changing moves to take their team from a contender to the World Series?

We also share a long overdue Road to Glory Update and what strategies you should be using to manage your common gallery and send out winning lineups. Tbh, we have not had much success the common level so we dove into why and came out with some great strategies you can apply to your gallery regardless of scarcity.

Thank you for listening and do not be afraid to leave a review or let us know your thoughts on Twitter.

In this episode of Batting Practice, we talk about what started it all! We have always had a creative knack when in comes to content, and with the start of Sorare MLBm we decided that it was time to join the podcast trend. We have been uploading videos to Youtube since we were teenagers and will continue to do so with the help and love from you guys!

We have launched about as many episodes as there are in a standard deck of cards. Does that mean we are almost at 1 year of doing podcasts? You betcha folks as we thank all of you for your support along the way. We have an exciting episode for you today where we dive into Sorare MLB’s mideason update and the new features coming to the game. Having success in the game requires you to be on top of the latest changes as those who adapt will remain and gain on those that ignore the updates. We break down all of the changes and give you our thoughts on what this means for your gallery.

In this episode, a full week of baseball has taken place and we are more than excited to talk about it. Andrew won his first Sorare MLB card, and we have a few reward boxes to open as well! We then go on to rank ballpark foods - that's right! From hot dogs to cracker jack, we rank them all. Let us know if you agree or disagree!

Episode 20 may be one of our best yet as things get heated right away. We did away with the pleasantries and jumped straight into how to measure your Sorare skills as a manager. Thankfully, we settle the discussion so you will have to listen to hear where we landed. Jacob finished 3rd in our latest Panini pack challenge despite none of us winning cards with our pack lineups. Look out for the Twitter Poll this weekend and vote on who Jacob should play in his lineup.

The featured topic for this show was how to manage your gallery across Sorare sports. There are a lot of emerging strategies on how best to play each sport but they assume that managers are only optimizing for or playing that sport. As budget managers, we understand that simply depositing more money into the game is not always possible and that this game of resource allocation happens not just within sports but across them. We share our strategies and a budget target if you are trying to field a team across all 3 and even give our insight into which sport we would recommend to managers if they can only afford to play one. 

Sorare's second multi-week competition has arrived and allows managers to pick players from La Liga in both a weekly and season long format. The competiton is in beta and is expected to span a couple of gameweeks. Jacob shares his hot take that this is a draft to work out the bugs before eventually rolling this out for the Premier League!!!

Here at Batting Practice, we love to compete and enjoy competitions like the La Liga Draft as it allows us all to compete on a level playing field. If you want to join our league, use the link: https://sorare.com/invite/pl/RGA6RL?referrer=upnorthjacob - What do you think of these draft-based competitions? Are they truly the best way to evaluate your Sorare skills as everyone has access to the same budget and players?

Thank you all for the support so far, we are just getting started.

Phew we got another good one for you today ladies and gentleman. This is the perfect week for sports fans worldwide with the Champions League, return of the NBA, and Postseason baseball. This also means we are busy with the podcast helping you stay up to date on latest sports news. The featured topic for today’s episode is our predictions for the NBA season including champion and rookie of the year predictions. Let us know what you think. We appreciate all of you who listen and please tell a friend if you have not already.

Welcome to Episode 30 of season 2 of Batting Practice! We take a bit of a different turn for this week's episode, where instead of talking strategy, we debate the collectible side of Sorare and how it compares to collecting physical cards of players. Which cards are worth more now? Which cards have more potential value in the future? Why do certain cards maintain value or increase when others do the opposite? Find out our opinions by tuning in this week!

IT IS FINALLY HERE! Batting Practice is BACK with Sorare MLB at the forefront of the episode. Sorare MLB recently announced the 2024 outlook and it couldn't have us more excited. We talk about the newly updated gameplay, rewards, and cards.

Stay tuned for more Sorare MLB content as it will be a mainstay back on the channel as the season approaches.

Podcast on a Sunday? Batting Practice is dedicated to providing quality content every week and we are trying out dropping episodes on Sunday’s for the foreseeable future. Let us know what you think! Episode 27 may be our best one yet as we have prepared our predictions for MLB’s top awards this season from Rookie of the Year to Cy Young to MVP. We did not stop there as we have some bonus categories like biggest bust and breakouts. Think we are done, nope, we also have our pick to win the whole league. If no one is right does that mean there is a Batting Practice curse?

In episode 52 of Batting Practice Season 2, we have a bit of a split episode for you. First, Josh and Andrew analyze their Sorare galleries and explain how to consolidate them. Whether that be selling cards to prepare for the new Sorare MLB season or building that perfect NBA team, they have you covered. Jacob then takes over the podcast going solo and uses his essence to craft a Sorare NBA limited card! He goes over the strategies behind why he chose to do it know, and how you should go about using essence. Listen until the end to see who we crafted!

We are BACK with another episode of the Batting Practice Podcast. Like our previous episode, we are adding a bit more structure to the show which makes writing recaps like these a breeze.

Kicking things off we look back on our MLB Season Predictions that we made on March 1st when Spring Training was getting started. Many of the picks went up in smoke but a fair amount actually proved true. Which of the BP Hosts was most correct? Watch and find out. Did your expectations for the MLB Season come true?

Sorare NBA is now hitting its stride so we have expanded our RTG series to NBA. The boys take on the draft and have a great discussion as to which MVP you should take when building out your own team. Let us know what you think of our pick.

The Sorare team is not sleeping. We have an exciting update on the NBA front with new rewards coming to Rare and the Launch of Collection XP for SO5 competitions.

Finally, we complete the episode with a sporcle quiz celebrating the sausages across the MLB. Match the dog to the ballpark and you are a winner.

Thanks for listening :)

Andrew, Jacob, and Josh are back again with Episode 5 of the Batting Practice podcast. Thank you for all the support so far and if you are new or a longtime listener, please make sure to rate and review us. Any feedback is always appreciated as it helps us make better content and have others discover our podcast.

Sorare MLB is bridging the gap between the NFTs and real life experiences through their creative auction promotions and of course postseason competitions. Andrew shares his thoughts on how it feels like there are hidden messages within each of Sorare MLB's medium posts, particularly the most recent one sharing the Unique auction schedule for Sept 26th - Oct 2nd. It appears that winners of special limited auctions in addition to the unique will receive postseason tickets, effectively bundling a digital and real experience together. We hope Sorare continues to do this going forward and expands it to the Sorare NBA and Sorare Soccer games.

Finally Batting Practice wraps up with another exciting Sorare news of the week: playoffs. Competitions will shift from the day of the week model to being based on the playoff rounds themselves. Top finishes across all scarcities will win playoff tickets, again helping to bridge the gap to a real world experience in addition to receiving a great NFT.
