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!

Use this link to sign up and get entered in a giveaway to win a limited NBA card from us! (Yes, just for joining our 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! 

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

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!

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. Listen to our takes on the podcast and let us know what you agree or disagree with on Twitter @BatPracticePod. Thank you for taking the time to listen, we always listen to our users and want to hear feedback on what we can do better.

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.
