If a player is digging in his heels, you need to do something to back him off. I find it funny that the LSU players act as if it's not a part of the game. I will bet my house they do they same thing, they may just desguise it better.......

Funny story about bean balls......two guys I played with at State were playing against each other in the minor leagues after they graduated. One of the guys had player on his team that hit 2-3 home runs one night....mouthed off, etc. My buddies were sitting at the bar that night and were talking about how they were pretty certain the guy that hit the homeruns was gonna get a ball thrown at his ear the next night.....and the result was probably going to be a fight......so, they agreed that if / when it happened, they would meet each other at second base and "roll around the dirt" a little. Sure enough, guy comes up and he catches one right in the ear......dugouts empty.....my buddies meet at second base and roll around in the dirt "fighting" while everyone else is in the middle of the big fight.......they also met at the bar again that night and laughed about it....

It's a part of baseball, deal with it.
