You think handling guys like that is just a LSU problem?

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

LSU batters will have problems the first 3 innings then
they will figure it out .Just like every other game.

In order to hit this 82 poo, LSU is going to have to hold the bat with both hands, and once the ball comes near their vicinity, if it is a strike they will want to swing the bat. If it is out of their vicinity, they will want to refrain from swinging, as that will be called a ball by the umpire. For any pitches that are in the strike zone, and the batter swings, they will want to make sure they make contact with the pitch by hitting it directly with the barrel of the bat.

LSU is due for a 10 run rule


Southeastern is not very good this year. 4-11 in conference actually. This is gonna be a run rule game.

Move up in box and keep hands back. Have someone/machine throw BP at 80 mph.

Slowly and carefully! We will ask the opposing team's staff to throw harder if it makes you feel better.

Is he a lefty? If so, we will struggle mightily
Biggest myth on the rant.

Did you watch any of the Alabama series?

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



"LSU can't his lefties" is a myth, but it sure does seem like mediocre-at-best pitchers who might be described as "crafty lefties" have career performances against LSU at a rate that is much higher than it should be.

UNO swept them and we curbstomped UNO. I know it doesn’t work that way, but I still don’t think they’ll be much of a problem for us.

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.

Can LSU make it 3 midweek losses in a row just to see tRant say how overrated this team is and LSU is like the third best team in the state?

What I took away from that is LSU is better hitting lefties than the conference is hitting righties. And that’s pretty cool imo.

It's no coincidence that LSU's two midweek losses this season have occurred in the past two weeks. The grind of the SEC schedule is real, and it's hard for the guys to get up for a Tuesday night game against a state school.

It might take an inning to slow down to it but they are going to smoke that shite if he’s throwing 82 and 65.
