Re: Dawgs NCAA Tournament discussion
Photo from UGA’s last (and only) NCAA Final Four appearance in 1983–the year after Dominique turned pro. Still amazes me.
Fun fact: Elfrem “EJ” Jackson, lower left, was a walk-on player who also was my UGA intramural basketball team coach. He later transferred to Ga State.

Re: Spring Training
Truly amazing though that Alex Anthopoulos has chosen to practically use "duct tape" to put together the Braves back end of their rotation, knowing full-well he needed a starter in his words as a top end guy that can help with playoffs. I'm fine with both Holmes & Elder in a rotation, but both would be a 5th starter in my mind. We have Sale perfect as a 1, Lopez 2 or 3, Holmes 5, Elder 5, Suarez (this is our 5???), Fuentes (future 1 or 2 if handled well this season), Bido (future 4 or 5 maybe???)
AA please wake up and DO SOMETHING!!! (think he's been sleep walking since 21 season?)
Re: Spring Training
Okay, the roster ended up being the same as above except Osvaldo Bido, a starter/reliever (experiece at both the past three major league seasons) released by the Yankees, has been picked up by the Braves and will fill Spencer Strider's spot on roster as Strider was put on the 15 IL - oh the luck of the Braves!
Pitching staff now listed below:
Starters: Sale, Lopez, Holmes, Elder, J Suarez* & Fuentes*
Relievers: Iglesias, R Suarez, Lee, Kinley, Bummer, Payamps & Bido*
*2 of these will likely start games 5 and 6 against the Athletics with a 6 man rotation for at least the first time through in a 13 game stretch without any off days. Bido again has started 28 games over the last three MLB seasons, so he could be the 6th day starter to allow Fuentes to begin this season in the bullpen as the Braves have hinted about their desire to keep Fuentes in the bullpen for the time being.
I personally hope to see Suarez & Fuentes start these games, especially if the Braves start out well through the first four games.
Re: Georgia freshman OL Zykie Helton turning heads during spring practice
That dude was a total beast in the state champ game. Amazing to see an OL prospect just tearing it up on defense. Good info and look forward to reading more updates. Thanks!
