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.
