Don't Panic...Yet.

Post by Mike

Okay it is not quite time to panic, but we're getting close.The Braves currently have the worst record in Spring Training, including the Grapefruit and Cactus Leagues. 1-10 with a tie to the Marlins, YUK!

There are a few positive signs like Prado hitting .407 and Uggla .286. Other than that there is not much good coming out of Orlando. Spring Hitting Stats - BEWARE IT IS UGLY!

Heyward is still strugling at .143. Freeman is at .137 and Chipper is .000 in only 8 at bats. And our starting short stop Pastornicky is batting a cool .100 (3-for-30). Didn't we fire our last hitting coach because these guys couldn't hit a beach ball?

Of course the Braves have always had good pitching, but do yourself a favor and don't look at these stats either: Spring Pitching - NOT MUCH TO LIKE HERE EITHER!

They play tonight at 6 PM. I never put much emphasis on Spring Training, but the last team to have a Spring this bad was the 2010 Pirates. They finished last in the majors that year. We still have 22 warm up games remaining. If they can win 8 more, I won't panic.

A Dawg beat a Tiger

Post by William

Former UGA golfer Harris English (he's made 5 of 5 cuts) , who's a rookie on the Tour,  shot 66 today.  He beat Tiger ( who hasn't)  by 5 shots. Harris had the best score of the late afternoon tee times (when Tiger teed off).

Watched Golf Central. No Harris, no DLIII, (from Georgia) who's leading. All about Tiger's putting. Had to see with the blimp watching Tiger getting a putting lesson.

Overkill.

Go Dawgs

This is good stuff

When you get the chance, pick up the March/April issue of Southwest Georgia Living Magazine. There is a great article about Albany native and friend of the blog, Rob Matre. Rob is a fantastic photographer and goes to all the major events to take pictures. I'm sure he'll be down I-20 next month with some great pictures from Augusta National.

He has several websites. Please take a look and enjoy.
