We're back with another Duocast here for you as Jacob and Josh take on the trade deadline. Was this year's hot stove hotter than normal? So many moves were made, yet some of the moves left us more confused than before. For example, why did the Twins trade away everyone? Did the Blue Jays and Cubs underperform at the deadline or did they get parts that they need? Did the Padres do right by selling big prospects by going in this year? All of these questions we debate here on the podcast! We also debate what would be unique of fun to add to existing MLB stadiums, or going ahead and creating your own like in MLB the Show.

In this week’s episode of Batting Practice, Josh and Jacob tackle the All Star game! Andrew is currently on vacation in Alaska and exploring every mountain he possibly can.

In the meantime, we have to talk about the Brewers and Jacob Misiorowski. Does he deserve to be an all star? Does this warrant a response from players like we saw from the Phillies? Is the MLB All Star game being treated differently than it should? 

Players are going to be snubbed from the all star game every year, it’s just a fact of life. Today we go ahead and give credit where credit is due to these all star snubs, and build a Sorare MLB team around them! The team itself? Well, it looks like an all star team on its own! Let us know if you would pick anybody else! 

In this episode of Batting Practice, Josh, Jacob, and Andrew are back to break down a wild weekend in baseball. The Dodgers get humiliated by the Astros, and Shohei Ohtani's performance since returning to the mound raises serious questions. The crew debates whether Orel Hershiser’s “they knew what was coming” take is fair or flat-out salty.We also dive deep into Sorare MLB: which Dodgers are worth starting (if any), whether Ohtani is still a lock in your lineup, and how daily missions, vaulting, and essence farming are reshaping strategy. Plus, some love for the first-ever MLB All-Star Game and a solid pickle to close things out.We Cover:- Ohtani’s batting slump: coincidence or caused by pitching again?- Dodgers vs. Astros recap + Hershiser’s hot mic moment- Sorare strategy: lineup differentiation, vaulting, and essence ROI- Must-starts, sleepers, and who to avoid in Sorare right now- The importance of daily missions and how they impact lineup building- 1933’s historic first MLB All-Star Game- This week’s pickle (and best baseball mustache?)Timestamps:0:00 – Intro, golf trip nostalgia, and hat drama2:45 – Orel Hershiser suggests Astros are cheating (again?)5:59 – Is there a statute of limitations on cheating teams?10:49 – Shohei Ohtani’s post-pitching slump: real or overblown?13:02 – The stats don’t lie: Ohtani’s dip since June 1616:04 – Which Dodgers (if any) are worth starting in Sorare?18:10 – Is Jackson Chourio a better fantasy play than Mookie Betts?21:14 – Ohtani’s 4-point Sorare week—what happened?23:00 – What winning Sorare lineups look like right now27:25 – Anchors, variation, and smart lineup building31:00 – Is Sorare essence overvalued or misunderstood?34:03 – Why daily missions are a game-changer36:00 – Should you vault players instead of playing them?40:11 – Does it make sense to buy a closer just for daily missions?43:03 – This Day in History: 1933’s first MLB All-Star Game46:33 – Pickle of the Week: Kyle Manzardo51:08 – Jose Ramirez: reliable Sorare play or fading fast?52:18 – Josh’s fantasy jinx strikes againSubscribe & Follow for More MLB Content!👉 YouTube: / @battingpracticepodcast 👉 Instagram: / battingpracticepod1 👉 TikTok: / battingpracticepod 👉 Twitter/X: / batpracticepod 👉 Join Sorare MLB with our exclusive link & get $50 in Market Credit: https://sorare.pxf.io/batting-practice🏃‍♂️ Want to listen on the go?
