East End Biscuit. BiscuitvilleTownSquareBandidos. Easy Bake Oven Boys. Call this team whatever you will, they are on a mission to fuck shit up in the NABA-AA in 2023.
Despite always being viewed as a tough out in the NABA, the Bandidos have been overrated and underdelivered for many years in a row. The last time the Bandidos made a long run in the postseason was 2020, when they eventually lost to Big Oil in the champsonship. (Thanks Rodi).
2023 has been coined as the Last Dance by manager John Friend, due to him being tired of dealing with all the nonsense that comes with running a team. And he’s old and mostly washed. Be that as it may, the Bandidos are not here to mess around in 2023.
The new season has brought some fresh faces to the squad with the hopes of making it a memorable last ride for this Bandido nucleus. That core group still consists of some familar names from the championship days, but in order to get back to the top, some offseason moves were needed.
Welcome to the squad:
Colin Dougherty brings another top notch arm to the squad. Despite him being ragged on by his AAA teammates, he knew this was the last chance to hop on board the Bandido train.
Ben Hartz adds a big bat and a more than reliable arm in the Bandidos rotation.
Alex Hartz finally gives the Bandidos a true shortstop for the first time in a long time.
Zack King has cemented this Bandido team as the true villians in AA. At least that’s what we’re going for, anyways.
Tyler Golden blew out his arm in his first game as a Bandido, but homeboy can throw gas. We’re saving him for one more big inning this year.
Ryan Barrett is the guy off the bench the Bandidos need and will turn to for some much needed speed on the bases.
Since this blog has not existed for multiple years, we apologize for not naming all the new Bandidos from years past, but we’ll keep this thing running from here on out.
The Bandidos got off to a strong start, going 8-1 in their first 9 games. Since then, they have dropped two in a row. Next up for the Bandidos is a 3 game set with the Butler Buccos. They talked some shit on the squad early in the season. We didn’t forget. It’s time to bring some lumber up to Cranberry this weekend, as the Bandidos look to bust out of a mini-slump.
