Recap

It was Biscuit Day at the ball-yard on a beautiful Sunday morning. Different uniform, same results for the Biscuit-Bandidos. Bernie Sanders certainly pitched good enough for the win. The Bandidos anemic offense could not take advantage of 8 fielders for the ducks through two innings.

The Bakery Square Bandidos have reached an all time low–every way possible. Before 2019, the Bandidos never lost more than 8 games in a season. Now the Bandidos are faced with an uphill battle.

It is true that every time makes the playoffs in the NABA, but it is unlikely a team this lost can make any noise in the playoffs. Talent is not lacking from the 2019 Bandidos, which may be the most frustrating thing. What is lacking? Commitment. Commitment to hit the cages. Commitment to show up regularly and on time. Commitment to do the little things on the field. Every Bandido has been guilty up until this point.

The only way this Bandido team can save face and put up a fight down the stretch is to find a new form of commitment.

The Ducks posted a great blog recently that featured the Bandidos struggles this year. Ben asks a serious question–Is the Cranberry team 1 run better than the Bandidos or 9.5 wins better than the Bandidos?

Most Bandidos would hopefully tell you 1 run, not 9.5 wins.

DIDOS EN EL RIO

“We pitch like a 12-2 team. Field like a 7-7 team and hit like an 0-14 team. and run the bases like a bunch of 6 year olds”-Didos Manager

“Pansy ass 6 year olds at that”- Didos Manager

That pretty much sums up the 2019 Bandidos. Do the Bandidos have anything left in the tank? If you ask the league, some say yes, most say no. None of that speculation matters. What matters is who shows up to the field for these next 10 games. Will it be a focused, practiced, ready and steady, resilient Bandidos team? Or it will be more of the timid, lackadaisical, confidence-lacking, defeated, sad group of dudes from the first 14 games?

Forget the championship from 2 years ago. Forget the 14 game winning streak and first place finish from 2018. All that people know right now is how the Bandidos have fallen from grace and how easy they are to play against. If there was ever a rally cry for getting a team’s collective head out of it’s ass–THIS WOULD BE IT.

If the story of the 2019 Bandidos ended today–it would be miserable. But it does not. There are 10 more regular season games left. This story could have a very different ending in a month from now. It does not seem likely–but that’s why they play the games.

For the sake of all things proper, lets hope its not the sad group of dudes from the first 14 games that show up to the last 10 games of 2019.

Basically what we are left wondering is–Who will be Pullman and Goldblum for the 2019 Bandidos? Perhaps Dave O’leary and Eric Friend? Perhaps Anthony DelBene and Ryan Gallagher?…

Or Perhaps–no one 🙁  and the aliens win
