New Alabama Closer Rick Vaughn (Career ERA 3.78, 733 IP, 189 APP, 5 saves) assists fellow Alabama students in recovery efforts. Due to NCAA transfer rules, he is ineligible to play this season.
The streak is alive at 5 wins and things are clicking for the TIgers on offense better than they have all of conference play, but now is the time to see who really has the TIGERBLOOD in their veins and who wants to keep #WINNING
(This concludes the required Charlie Sheen jokes. In all seriousness, the dude is doing awesome things to help out the people of Alabama and that should be commended)
For Alabama (28-19, 10-11 in SEC) the season started off well in SEC play before running into the juggernaut that is Vandy. They were swept by the Dores and also lost the next 2 series against Tennessee and Florida before rebounding win an inspired series win at Mississippi just days after the tornadoes hit. With the division lead up for grabs in an extremely tight SECW race, Bama can ill afford to fall behind the pack.
Offensively, Bama has only 6 regular starters. Led by SS Jared Reaves (.357, 61H, 36R, 15 2B, 2HR, 36RBI) the Tide is batting .247 as a team and have just 2 more Homers (14) than Mahtook does. They also have issues with starting pitching, namely finding a Sunday starter. Friday and Saturday's Killcrease and Morgan have decent ERAs and favorable BB/K ratios. Jonathan Smart (2.22 ERA, 44.2IP in 23 App, 9BB/27K, 8 saves) is the closer to look out for.
LSU will unfortunately have to play spoiler at a time when the folks in Tuscaloosa really need things to start going their way again. Admission to all 3 games is free with a donation to the Red Cross and various local restaurants will be feeding those now living in shelters behind the right field wall. It hopes to be an uplifting weekend, but when you are only 2 games out of a Hoover spot, someone has to be the bad guy.
Weather: Clear to partly cloudy without a hint of rain, high in the low 80's all weekend
TV: Due to a time change on the Saturday game, Cox Sports will not be carrying Game 2 of the series. However Cox 4 will carry the entire series live in the BR, NOLA, and Laf markets. For those outside of LA, Friday and Sunday will be on Jumbo Sports affiliates and Saturday will be on most CSS stations and on ESPN3.com in most markets.
SEC Slate
UGA @ AUB
Vandy @ UK
UF @ ARK (Thursday series, ARK won GM1 4-3)
S Car @ Ole Miss
Miss. St. @ Tenn.
In a western division where things are so close, the rooting interests are simple. Root East over West and hope for sweeps. If LSU can take care of it's own business, we could rocket all the way up to a tie for 2nd place in the division.
The rest of the National slate this weekend is just more conference play, with the exception of #9 TCU travelling to #22 Okie State. The 1st bid to the NCAA tourney will be decided as Princeton, who we took 2 of 3 from earlier this year, will play Dartmouth for the Ivy League title and auto-bid. Also, keep an eye on the Dallas Baptist @ #11 TAMU series, as DBU has several midweek win against many of the best teams in Texas.

Just to Let Everyone Know
If you are coming to Tuscaloosa, budget extra time to get to the park. You will see some truly spectacular damage. This community has been hit very hard. It’s comparable to Katrina-level damage on a smaller scale for a smaller community. Many, many people lost their homes completely. Many businesses simply don’t exist anymore. That tornado went straight through the center of town, through everything from upscale neighborhoods, through student enclaves, through business centers, through poor, mostly minority communities. Those of you familiar with Tuscaloosa will find that familiar shops and restaurants simply aren’t there anymore.
Bring donations. Many children have lost everything, and if you have children you know that little ones don’t understand this. They just know that their toys are gone, they’re away from home, and they’re bored out of their minds. Toys your children don’t play with anymore would make a good donation, as would clothes they don’t wear anymore. Diapers, baby wipes, bottled water (many places have boil-water notices), hygiene products, etc. would also be good.

As for me
I moved 1 1/2 years ago to a community between Tuscaloosa and Birmingham. The tornado that ravaged Tuscaloosa passed several miles North of me. Another tornado devastated communities about 10-15 miles south of me. At the time of that storm, I did not have power in my house. We were listening to the coverage on a battery-powered radio. I was as scared as I’ve ever been in my life, thinking it was heading our way.
My old house in Tuscaloosa somehow or another survived the storm intact. The vortex tracked MAYBE 100 yards north of it. Houses I used to walk my dog by every day were obliterated. One of my coworkers’ apartment was destroyed with her inside it. Another lawyer I know had fatalities within throwing distance of her apartment. Another co-worker had extensive roof damage on his house. I know people who dug themselves out of collapsed buildings.
This storm was truly monstrous. It stayed on the ground for 80 miles. It killed people in Tuscaloosa and dozens of miles away from Tuscaloosa.
Father. Husband. Lawyer. Nerd.
Ditto for our household...
At the time of that storm, I did not have power in my house. We were listening to the coverage on a battery-powered radio. I was as scared as I’ve ever been in my life, thinking it was heading our way.
We lost power around 5pm. Prior to that we could watch the television coverage which is very good in north alabama during tornado watches/warnings.
Once we lost power we fired up the battery powered radio. The radio guys aren’t quite as precise when describing where a possible tornado is headed. We were in our hallway under a mattress for about an hour listening to the radio guys tell us there were tornados in Decatur (S, SW of us) headed for Madison (where we live). That was after an entire day at work spent in the basement…
There are areas within 10 miles of our house that look like a bomb went off. An EF5 (winds 200 mph +) went through there and it is just awful to see. There isn’t as much personal damage there because it wasn’t as densely populated as T-town, but these areas are very much in need of volunteers as well.
We escaped with out any damage. We were very lucky.

Glad you guys made it
We were never in real danger. It was too far away. James Spann was simulcast on the radio and he did a terrific job.

So 2 questions
Where the heck has that offense been all year?
And how much of Bama’s pitching for the weekend did they just burn through and does that help us in the next two games?
X
1. actually, we are using some brand new Easton sticks this weekend. Lemme share what I got in a PR e-mail earlier this week:
You may notice that the LSU baseball team will be swinging some new bats this week. They are actually one of only five schools in the country that have been chosen to exclusively use the Easton Power Brigade BBCOR bats.
I dismissed it at first, but now I’m trying to get more info on them
2. Might be bad news actually. As mentioned in the broadcast, there is a good chance “Peanut” Kilcrease has an extended outing from the bullpen on sunday, this outing was definetly not typical for him.
Managing Editor/Chief Lackey-And The Valley Shook THE LSU Tigers Blog of the Week for 52,136 Weeks in a Row and Counting
Thanks. that was helpful
I hadn’t heard about the bats, and I thought short outings might mean good pitchers would come back.
Well, either way, it should be a nice confidence boost for the team. They are putting a good run together.
I didn't see a pitch count on him
Don't Panic.

For all the handwringing this year, we woke up this morning #25 in the RPI and #27 in the ISR. That’s a good spot to be in come tourney selection time, regardless of our SEC record. If we can take this series and keep swinging the bats like this we’ll be in good shape.
Don't Panic.
by 4.0 Point Stance on May 7, 2011 12:30 PM CDT reply actions
How is that possible with a sub-500 conference record?
Is the SEC THAT much better than the rest of the country?
anybody else audio messing up big time?
