Alternate History Sports / AltLB - 2025 Season

**Posted by Stickman** 4/02/2025 10:58 am

The NY Blackbirds are running a sweepstakes of sorts with 3B Max Muncy. He's gonna cost $14 next year, so he's not the cheapest person on Earth. However, he does put up good numbers (slow start this year but that should change) he's averaged 3.6-3.9 points a game for 3 of the last 4 years.

Needing pitching, so if anyone is hurting for a proven 3B, please let me know as soon as possible. I'll pretty much be accepting the first decent offer I get.

With a big win over the Minnesota Gemini to start the year, the Bison are 1-0 (I'm good at the math things). Next up is the home opener, as we welcome the Los Angeles Condors to Cox Ballpark. We'll be in the creams for this one, as we want to look sharp here at home. If you're coming out to the ballpark, we're giving away magnetic schedules, and all children are getting Bison hats at the gates! We're looking to keep things going and move to 2-0 on the young season, as we led the league in scoring through week one, led by second year outfielder Jackson Merrill! #WeAreOK

The Atoms picked up a massive victory over the rival Squirrels to kick off our 2025 title defense in style. We get to stay under the dome for game number two, as we (appropriately) welcome the Minnesota Gemini to town. We'll be greeting them in the home whites as the Gems play their second AltLB finalist in as many weeks. Leading the team in our first game out was 3B Eugenio Suárez, who got out to the hottest start imaginable, mashing 05 home runs and 11 RBI, all of which came in his first 18 at bats of the season. #GoldBars

The Thunderbirds made good work out of the Condors, as we have proved to be the better bird team on the west coast (for now). We're staying at home to welcome our former leaguemates in the Chicago Pros to town, who convincingly took down Kansas City at home. Getting the nod is SP Jesús Luzardo, who pitched 12 innings across two games for 19 total strikeouts and got 2 wins in the process. We'll be bringing out the home alternates for the first time this year as well, hoping to start out better than we did the year prior. #Thunderstruck

The Atoms closed out a 02-game homestand to start the season with a second consecutive win against Minnesota. We get a single road game before heading back home, and we have to head all the way to Cuba to take on Havana. Los Cubanos have gotten out to the worst start of any team, finishing with the fewest points scored and the fourth-most points allowed. The Atoms, meanwhile, have the second-most points scored and the fewest points allowed, so you might be forgiven for feeling like you know how this one is gonna go. For the first time this season, we're featuring a pitcher, as SP Cole Ragans picked up the win for us, striking out 21 across 13 2/3 innings while only giving up 02 earned runs. #GoldBars

The Bison have jumped out to a 2-0 record, following a victory over the Los Angeles Condors. We'll remain at home as we host the Oakland Squirrels, who are also coming in off a win. We're going to be featuring starting pitcher Kodai Senga, who is coming off missing last season with injury, but he went 12 innings, 8 strikeouts, and 0 earned runs, netting him 2 wins and a single quality start. #WeAreOK

It was another convincing win for the Thunderbirds, despite our team becoming an infirmary after just two weeks into the year. We can't linger on that for too long, as we're heading east to play the Kings in Memphis. They were a surprise playoff team last year, making it all the way to the NLCS, though they haven't yet replicated that success in the two weeks so far. Featured for this week is OF James Wood, who batted 7 for 21 for 4 home runs, 8 RBI's, and 2 stolen bases against the Pros. #Thunderstruck

The Bison knocked off the Squirrels to remain undefeated last week, powered by our bats with the injuries sustained by our pitching staff. This week we host Arizona at Cox Ballpark, as the Thunderbirds bring their undefeated season to OKC for a big matchup as we close out our early season three game homestand. The Thunderbirds led the league in scoring last week, but only one point separates us on the season. We'll be in the cream home uniforms for this one as we highlight first baseman Josh Naylor, who had 6 runs, 6 singles, 3 home runs, 5 RBI and 3 walks last week to pace the Bison. #WeAreOK

It wasn't a great week for the Atoms, but it was certainly enough to beat a struggling Havana team. After just one game on the road, we return to Vegas to play our fourth consecutive winless team. The Saints have started off 00-03, and we want to make sure we're not the team to give them their first win. We're back to the home whites this week, and we actually had a tie for team MVP last week. With all due respect to reigning Cy Young winner SP Tarik Skubal, who shut down the Cubans offense, we had to flip it to the other side of the ball, where 1B Pete Alonso has been making a case for overall MVP. Against los Cubanos, the Polar Bear went 10-25 with a triple, two home runs, and six RBI. #GoldBars

We sent the Kings packing, eviscerating them to remain undefeated. Our season is just getting started, as we'll travel to OKC for a marquee matchup against our old AL rival in the Bison, who are also undefeated and trail us by a single point in scoring. We'll be in the alternate teal uniforms as we'll be highlighting pitcher Landen Roupp, who pitched 12 innings for 17 strikeouts, a quality start, and 2 wins in a turnaround from his previous two starts. #Thunderstruck
