Batting Practice Podcast

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...

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 t...

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...

Episode 49 and climbing. Thank you for all of the support so far as we have grown this podcast into something so much of you listen to every week. We truly appreciate each and every one of our listeners. We have two main topics this week, looking at which teams are making moves ahead of the trade deadline. We recorded this before the deadline closed so there are moves that we will cover on next we...

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 Wo...

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 Rar...

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...

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 fea...

We got a special episode for you all today, taking a look at something that is one of the more important aspects of Sorare: rewards. Have you ever looked at what cards are in each Tier List? Do you agree with where Sorare has placed different players? The first thing to note about reward tiers is that they are dynamic and evolving. For example, Andrew won Michael Conforto as a Tier 4 and is now a...

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...

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 w...

This podcast DOES NOT STOP. That may be a bit dramatic but I think it's important to celebrate the wins and that fact that we have no eclipsed 40 podcast episodes! This episode follows Josh's journey to upgrade his gallery - no he is not selling everything. The first step to acquiring new cards is raising funds to buy them which leads us to one of the least fun but important aspects of Sor...

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 al...

Is it me or is our title a bit too long? Oh wait, I don't really care as I want to show all of you the amazing topics we got into in our hour recording together this week. Jacob was traveling for a wedding so Josh and Andrew held down the fort and partnered up for Episode 39. We had been going down a few rabbit holes over our previous weeks so we made sure to cover news and updates this week w...

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-underper...

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...

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...

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 s...

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 R...

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...

As the episode count continues to grow the content just gets more fun to make. First I want to thank all of you across social media who have been engaging with our content. The amount of love and support we have seen since the season began makes us extremely proud. We appreciate every single one of our listeners. MLB Opening Weekend has passed and yes it is too early to extrapolate these series to...

We are back with another exciting episode of the Batting Practice Podcast and could not be enthused that Opening Day is finally here! Spring is sort of in the air in the Midwest and we cannot wait for the crack of the bat and the smells of the stadium ( hot dog anyone? ). Here at Batting Practice, we are always trying to elevate our game and provide you relevant content to elevate and improve your...

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...

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...

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...
