After heading to Boston and knocking off an undefeated team for the second time in as many weeks, we head back to OKC to take on former AL rivals, the Tampa Bay Turtles. The Turtles are looking to get back to .500, so we'll be looking to keep the hot bats going. However, last week we saw a gem on the mound from Jacob deGrom, who went 11 innings, striking out 10 to notch 2 wins and a quality start while only allowing 1 earned run. #WeAreOK

With a second straight trip to the AltLiga playoffs, the Falcons are soaring high. We play our fourth playoff game this week and our fourth ever home playoff game, as Amsterdam KVV makes their way to Cairo. We swept them in the regular season, but we'll be looking to make sure not to stumble this one away. As we're at home, we'll be in the traditional vertical striped main kit, and are featuring midseason transfer Alexis Mac Allister, who helped carry the team while stars Bukayo Saka and Nicolas Jackson were injured. They're back now, and we're hoping that means a more potent attack in the playoffs. #TheGoldStandard

That was a successful three game homestand, as we knock off the Thunderbirds to remove them from the ranks of the undefeated teams. Our reward? A road trip to Boston to take on the undefeated Masons. We look to knock off undefeated teams in back to back weeks as we look to make sure we stay tied with the Deacons for the top spot in the American League early in the season. We'll be in the standard road khaki uniforms this week. Our pitching has been very banged up so far, but that hasn't stopped Hunter Brown from being an absolute ace, as he logged 13 innings, allowing only 1 earned run while striking out 18, good for 2 wins and 2 quality starts. #WeAreOK

Scratch, I will touch base with Gritty on that, since any and all files associated with prior Refre5hs would be with him.

Now, let's get into our first group. We will be splitting the active teams into two groups of six so we have more time for each group's designs. Today we'll be releasing the first six Refre5h submissions. The due date on these submissions will go to AltLB.DC@gmail.com by 5/3/2025. The logos will have a longer design window.

Hello Everyone, we've just completed season four of the AltBA with our fourth different champion, and I'm excited to announce that it is time for the AltBA Refre5h! I'll be your point of contact on this one and working with Gritty as needed to make sure that it runs smoothly.

We're going to be doing this differently than we did for AltFL and AltHL so that we can spread the process out, allowing more time for designs, separate logo and jersey submission windows, and allow us to Refre5h our unowned teams as well. I want everyone to a) get quality submissions, and b) get quantity submissions.

So if you currently own an AltBA team, you'll get an email from me at the email you used for the AltBA from my altlb.dc@gmail.com email to start the process over the weekend. From there, we'll break it down, working on no more than 6 teams at a time. So in the meantime, start brainstorming, what do you want in the future for the design of your AltBA franchise. We can only have one champion a season, but we can all have championship-caliber looks.
