Batting Practice, a Sorare MLB Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

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!

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!

Todays episode is, well, the all sports episode 😂. We talk all things home run derby, all star game, and Sorare MLB, but also couldn't go the whole episode without talking about the Copa America final, as well as the Euro Championship. Plus add that on top of Wimbledon, the MLB draft, and so much more.

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!

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!

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.

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. 

Continue following our journey through the postseason and into the 2023 season by following us across social media and your preferred podcast platform.

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.

Episode 3 of the Batting Practice gets started with a bag with Andrew, Jacob, and Josh covering Sorare MLB updates including player follows and a new notification bar. This will surely help baseball managers better run their gallery and never miss out on key auctions.

The main topic for today's podcast involves our reaction to the recent MLB game rule's updates including a ban on the shift, larger bases, and a pitch clock; for the full rule changes check out this amazing summary from MLB.com - https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-2023-rule-changes-pitch-timer-larger-bases-shifts 

These changes do not take place until the 2023 season but it is never too early for Sorare managers to begin positioning their gallery to make sure the 23' season is a successful one.

Andrew, Jacob, and Josh review the latest updates to the Sorare MLB game including trades, card swaps and more. This was a huge update to the Sorare MLB game and gets it that much closer to the established Sorare Football product. On the day we recorded Sorare announced a new massive partnership with the NBA bringing basketball to the platform this fall. We did not miss this opportunity to discuss what teams and players we are excited for as well as how this can impact the Sorare MLB game short and long term. Finally, we got to our main topic for this episode: playoffs. With the season less than a month from ending we thought it would be the perfect time to explain how MLB playoffs work, which teams to watch out for, and most importantly how to position your gallery into the final month of the season. Of course we end the episode with our usual (favorite??) segment: highlights and lowlights where we review a top and not top play that has got us buzzing that week.
