PrintHere is a list of the starting pitcher of each game LSU lost this year, followed by what side they throw from:
Illinois - Haig - LHP
Illinois- Reeser - RHP
ULL - Fusilier- LHP
Kentucky - Albers- LHP
USC - Dyson - RHP
OM - Pomeranz - LHP
Tulane - Loup - LHP
UGa - McRee - LHP
Bama - Howell - LHP
Tennessee - Hernandez - LHP
Tennessee - Harris - RHP
Arkansas - Keuchel - LHP
Florida - Maronde - LHP
Moo St - Routt - LHP
Vandy - Minor - LHP
For those of you scoring at home, of LSU's 16 losses, THIRTEEN have come against a left-handed starter. Mainieri claims, and I have no reason to doubt him, that we have faced 20 left handed starters this season. LSU's record is...
35-3 vs. RHP
7-13 vs. LHP
Who else is getting a little nervous about teams saving their lefties to face LSU?

South Carolina certainly did
They threw three pitchers at us, all of them lefties. If not for a gem from Coleman, we would be out of the tourney.

I thought Mainieri left Coleman out there too long, stating the obvious.
I know his pitch count wasn’t that bad going into the ninth, but I think I would have been quick to hook him after that first hit. Did he send in Jones for the lefty matchup, or was he just giving Ott more time to get loose?
If UGA doesn’t send a LHP out tomorrow, I will be shocked (and questioning their sanity).
I think they are
Not official, but I think we’ll see a lefty. Bradshaw will start for LSU.
Coleman was in too long and I’m not sure why we went to Jones instead of Ott at firs. All’s well that ends well. Helenihi got the start but so did Mitchell. They went a combined 0-7. Proving… er… something or another. That we still can’t hit lefties.
I have reason to doubt him
LSU baseball game notes, page 2 (http://www.lsusports.net/pdf4/407833.pdf?ATCLID=3674501&SPSID=27865&SPID=2173&DB_OEM_ID=5200) heading into the SEC Tournament.
vs. RH Starters: 27-3
vs. LH Starters: 14-12
Still a very compelling stat, but not quite as extreme as you had mentioned.
Mainieri lied to me...
Sorry, I was going off of his comment we had faced 20 lefties and subtracting from there. My bad.
