Opening Day isn’t until next week. What can we do while the Braves put their roster together? Personally, I’m going to figure out my NCAA bracket. Beats working, that’s for sure. Want to join us? We have a tournament bracket every year. If you want to spend three minutes (or three days) playing along, please join our group.
The link to our group is here. The group name is 2026 Battery Power Bracket Challenge. The password is alexverdugo. It takes 3 minutes. But the joy lasts a lifetime, or until two
of your Final Four loses. That’s all there is to it. You have until the first game tips off on Thursday at around noon Eastern.
There are people in our community that are good at this. I am not one of them. Ivan had a strangehold on this for a little while. But tournament basketball is pretty random. Some random schools that you’ve never seen are gonna shoot 60% from three-point range in the first round. One school you have seen is going to choke. It’s all part of the fun.
The Braves have an off day on Thursday. I have a feeling that we’ll have a serious culling of the Spring Training roster then. In the meantime, come watch some basketball with us. You won’t do any worse than me, unless you’re really trying.
