Refinancing

After she engulfed the league in flame during Season β7, Debted Seattle Garages ace Jaylen Hotdogfingers searched for a solution to prevent it from happening again. The Microphone offered her a chance to make a deal.^[3] As a result, Hotdogfingers' Debt changed to Refinanced Debt. While this change kept the rest of the league safe from incineration, the Garages were about to face the necromancy consequences they escaped the season before.

Season β8 was the most successful regular season by wins the Seattle Garages have ever seen and will ever see in the first two eras of Internet League Blaseball. It was also a season of change and sudden parting with a franchise record five feedback swaps thanks to Jaylen Hotdogfingers' newly refinanced debt, which now conferred Flickering. Over the season, the band bid farewell to original roster members Lang Richardson and Allison Abbott, and longtime players Cedric Spliff and Farrell Seagull, fundamentally altering the small ball strategy the team had employed in previous seasons. In return, the band received Nolanestophia Patterson, capable base hitters Quack Enjoyable and Summers Pony, and Paula Mason, until she too was swapped for power hitter Paula Turnip. The constantly shifting roster somehow did not stop the band's meteoric rise, and they clinched a postseason appearance in record time. Unfortunately, dreams of a pennant were once again dashed when the Garages were swept by the Philly Pies in the first round of the playoffs. After the regular season, Jaylen Hotdogfingers was granted Flickering by the Microphone. Details of how this change fit into the Mic's bigger plan were yet to be revealed, but Hotdogfingers is embracing her role as an "agent of chaos."

New Kids

The Season β8 Election brought four blessings to the Seattle Garages, although their outcome had many wondering if some were really blessings after all. During the election, beloved Garages pitcher Ron Monstera was stabilized before being cruelly incinerated. To replace him, a bus arrived carrying the enigmatic extraterrestrial Durham Spaceman and a surprise extra pitcher, interdimensional visitor and DJ Lori Boston, who had accidentally signed up for the team. The additions also expanded the Band's rotation beyond 5 slots for the first time.
