Alternate History Sports / AltLB - 2025 Season

**Posted by Dan O'Mac** 5/19/2025 12:03 pm

The Bison scored a huge victory on the season, as not only did we remain undefeated, but we knocked off the only other undefeated team in the league in Detroit. We're not getting any easier this week though, as we head to Las Vegas to take on the defending champion Atoms. We're keeping the tradition alive, as we're donning the Fields of the Future jerseys for our game with the Atoms. We're featuring star outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong, who has done a great job breaking out as a superstar for the Bison. #WeAreOK

The Blackbirds faced us in a nail-biter, but ultimately we were able to finish out on top for another win. We're technically still in first in the CL, but San Diego still is tied with us for the lead. We stay on the road to play former AL rival Minnesota, who have not started out the season like they wanted to. Featured for this week is SP Andrew Abbott, who threw for 11 innings for 12 strikeouts, a quality start and a win, while only letting up a single earned run. #Thunderstruck

The Atoms tried our best to make it interesting at the end, but couldn't overcome a slow start against OKC. Luckily, that must be as difficult as our schedule gets; surely, we won't have to face any other teams we played in the World Ser- oh, crabapples. Well, let's hope our game in Detroit goes a little bit better. The Deacons, like the Atoms, are 06-02 and coming off a loss, and they'll be looking to keep up with the AL-leading Bison. For our part, we'll send out SP Bailey Falter in the road grays to represent Las Vegas. In a huge blow for nominative determinism, Falter was one of the few pitchers who was effective against the Bison bats, hurling 12 2/3 and striking out 06 while only allowing 02 earned runs. #GoldBars

We got out to a white-hot start to begin the week, but the Gemini wanted to make things interesting as we end up pulling away late for the win. We return home to play the Montreal Saints for the first time in a while, and though the Saints are building for the long-term doesn't mean we should take them lightly. Featured for this week is surprisingly one of our best pitchers this year in Robbie Ray, who essentially missed all of 2023 and had a rocky 2024. He's been pitching excellently so far, striking out 14 over 13 innings pitched last week for 2 quality starts and a win while only allowing a single earned run. #Thunderstruck

The Bison held onto the win, despite a late comeback attempt by the Atoms, to remain undefeated at 8-0. We remain out on the road, as we head to the home of everyone to take on the Chicago Pros. We are going to be in the traditional khaki roads, and feature third baseman Isaac Paredes, who went 11 for 30 against the Atoms, with 6 singles, 1 double, and 4 home runs, totaling 7 runs and 7 RBI, adding a walk and a hit by pitch for funsies. #WeAreOK

Week nine comes and goes, and the Bison notch win number nine on the season. Through a quirk in the schedule, the only time two teams play in back-to-back weeks is the Bison and the Pros in weeks nine and ten. So after a game in Chicago, we all fly to Oklahoma City and get set for another game. We'll look to replicate last week, just this time in the cream uniforms. Featured for the Bison is long-time Bison Ranger Suarez who we acquired as part of the Nico Hoerner deal. Ranger went 12 innings against the Pros, striking out 10 while only allowing 1 earned run, earning a win and 2 quality starts. #WeAreOK

Montreal was not able to pick up their first win on the year, as we were able to easily take care of them for our fifth straight win. It's now time for us to go on a 2 game road stint, the first game will take us to Havana (oo na na) to play the equally hapless Cubans. They're trying to rebound despite having quite literally the best player in the majors, so we'll give it our all once again. Featured for this week is SP Sonny Gray, who threw 10 strikeouts across 7 scoreless innings for a win and a quality start. #Thunderstruck

For the second straight week, the Atoms fell behind early against one of AltLB's top teams before going on a run in the second half to make things interesting. The only difference is that this time we were actually able to pull off a win, thanks to some clutch homers late and some standout work from the bullpen. As a result, this week brings this season's first relief feature, and it goes to RP Reed Garrett. The former VMI Keydet threw 03 2/3, struck out 07, and recorded a save and two holds against the Deacons. We'll be wearing the home whites as we head back to Vegas for our second game against the Griffins. #GoldBars
