This game tonight could be frustrating to say the least. I've been told the starter tonight throws an 82mph fastball with a 65mph breaking ball.

I could see this game being similar to a travel ball pool play game with an elite squad that can't hit a trash ball pitcher. I hope i'm wrong.

Is he a lefty? If so, we will struggle mightily.

Fun fact: LSU hits nearly .300 vs lefties.

League average is .280.

This game is at SELU? When is the last time we played there?

And LSU is hitting above league average.

The point of the post was the LSU can’t hit lefties schtick is just a rant myth.

No need to move the goalposts

Yes like almost every team in the history of baseball.

They are also still really good at hitting lefties they are just great at hitting righties.

I'm skeptical that Southeastern has a pitcher on their roster with an 82 mph fastball.
