It's opening Day at the Amp, and your Boston Masons are hoping to do far better than they did last year. The Masons will kick off the festivities on the Commons with a game against the Colts. Our best player in Outfielder Juan Soto will lead the team out against Kansas City in their traditional whites.

Week 01 is in the books, and the Atoms nabbed a convincing win over the Blackbirds. We'll hope to do the same in Week 02, as we welcome another 2022 playoff opponent to town in the Montréal Saints. Last week was the Str0 Sh0w, as SP Marcus Stroman's jersey number of 00 represents the amount of earned runs he allowed over 12 innings, so naturally, he gets the highlight this week as we break out the white jerseys for the first time. #BetOnIt #UpAndAtom #MTLvsLV

The Thunderbirds dominated the Gemini last week, and now go on the road to the first-ever home game in Havana in the Modern Era. The Cubans are looking to win their first of the year after a road loss to the Pros, and Arizona looks to 2-0 to start the year off strong in a very tough American League. C Will Smith was our team's best player last week, slashing .357/.457/.786 with 3 home runs to boost an already hot start to the year. We will also be wearing our sand road set as we adjust to the Cuban sun and atmosphere. Featured this week on the Arizona tour is the state's highest natural mountain, Humphreys Peak, located within the Coconino National Forest. #Thunderstruck

Aight, I've got a twofer for you. Starting with the Power Ranks. The power ranks this year, unlike last year, do factor in wins. Early in the season, wins will count for more, so you should see that factor into it. Your previous week's rank also factors into it. This will also bring a bit of consistency. The post-draft projections give you your first "previous week's rank". The biggest factors into your score though will be your current week's point total and your season point total, and your expected winning %. The expected winning % is based on if you fell into the top half of the league's scoring, you get an expected win, and the inverse for losses. So... let's open this up!

After a thorough beating from the Deacons, at home nonetheless, the Bison head out on the road to Kansas City to take on the Colts. We had a respectable week from a scoring side of things, so we need to step up the pitching and defense to keep the Colts off the board. We're going to wear the standard grays in this one, as we look to grab our first win of the campaign.

The Masons laid their first brick on the path towards immortality with their decisive beating of the Colts. The Masons welcome their old foe in the Blackbirds to the Ampitheatre, Alex Verdugo and company will take to the field in their Reds. (Catchy NikeSpeak B.S for that color to come later).

Okay, finally, the new one... the team of the week. This represents one full lineup for an AltLB team. Ties in point total (such as 2B) are broken by who had the higher Points Per Game (hence Torres over Andres Gimenez). Pitchers who are SP,RP will not qualify as a RP if they have games started for the week. Players who are RP only who have starts will be eligible for RP.

Ronald Acuna Jr. Gerrit Cole. Jordan Romano.

These are the three players that have been part of the team of the week both weeks so far. Two of them play for the Deacons. Deacons good?
