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. Do MLB stadiums need more or are they great as is? Make sure to subscribe and follow us on Instagram and Twitter!

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.
