The Bandits want to thank our loyal fan base for another great year. We will be back.

#Bandits drop their home opener, 25-18 to Houston. (43 runs) It’s the most runs in any single Long Barrel game in Franchise history. Dod Maass post game - “Yea, our defense needs some work. We need to tighten things up.”

(Cont.) Isaac Cutrara is under investigation by Chi Sports Social for carrying malice intent at the collision at the plate in tonight’s game. Brutal collisions result in a 15 game suspension with pending fines typically in the $100K range.

In other news, OF Bco Coderre suffered an injury to his right hand in last nights game. He will hit the 15-day DL and be reevaluated next Monday. Coderre is the most injury prone Bandit by a long shot. Last year he missed 47% of reg szn games.

Coderre leads the Bandits in games out due to injury. Crowning him the Nick name “Eloy” Coderre. #LBStats #SoxStats

Bandits have recalled OF Austin A-Pac Paschal and IF E.K. Kelly from triple A Pawtucket.

#LBBandits 1B Bucky Cutrara has also hit the 30-Day DL with a pair of bad hamstrings. Cutrara joins Coderre once again on the designated list. The two have missed more games combined than any other tandem since Eloy and Yoan Moncada. #BarrelStats #SoxStats

#BanditMath Take OF Austin Paschals career strike outs + number of games missed by Coderre due to injury - Dod Maass inches on his barrel shaft. Send in answers directly to LB Bandits

(IF) E.K. Kelly serves the final week of his PED suspension (marijuana). Kelly had missed 40 games previously to this week. His frequent usage of weed has coined him the nickname “Stank Breath” #LongBarrel

1B Bucky Cutrara will miss another game this week. He starts his rehab assignment next week in Kankakee. #BarrelUp

The LongBarries fell last week 10-9. The game came down to 2 outs in the ninth with a runner on 3rd. Baffes failed to deliver. That now moves his avg w/RISP to a disheartening .161 The last time the Barrels started 0-2 was 1973 under skipper K-Mun-Dee

Pitcher Dod Maass (son of long-shaft Maass) has really stepped up with the disappearance of Jamo Lamb. Maass’ weak contact rate is at an all time high (64%) . The LB defense although ranks in dead last. #Bandits #Sox

Current Standings #BarrelUp

#BarrelBreakingNews The Long Barrels have made a move. The Barrels have re-acuired P Jamo Lamb and OF Austin Paschal in a deal with Sacramento. They were essentially let go from Sacramento for quote on quote “lack of production” (continued)

The tandem was let go in the off season for minor cash consideration. While serving in Sacramento they both struggled immensely. Paschal recorded 4 hits in 64 ABs and Lamb was dealing with control issues. He posted a WHIP of 2.7. Barrel fans, welcome back 2 LB Legends!

Contingently to the acquisition, The #Bandits have sent E.K. Kelly to an affiliated development league in Shanghai, China. We also open the additional roster spot with sending Buck Cutrara to Kankakee. #Sox #LongBarrel

#LongBarrelNews Ty Reid and Elijah Watson have certainly made a home with the #Bandits. The tandem has recorded more multi-hit games than any LB combo since 1974 Brian Reid and Jack Schumann Sr. This spring, the combo has both signed multi year extensions. #LongBarrel

With the return of P Jamo Lamb this week, we take a look back at some #LongBarrel History and the greatest pitchers in our franchise. 1948: Donnie McGurggle Sr. 1956: Popsie Coderre 1966: Mr. Lamb 1974: Karl KMunDee Maass 1975: Chuck Mcurgle Sr. 2020: Jamo 2023: Dod #Bandits

#Bandits 2nd basemen Ty Reid is out with cat-like sickness. Symptoms include cat puke, fur ball, and increased shedding of hair. He will be placed on 10 day DL and sent to Kankakee to join Bucky and Dom Cutrara in central Illinois. #LongBarrel
