Yep, and that's one of the big reasons for 14-13 scores. Same thing happened in the Friday night game against Vandy where the score was 16-15. If you make a pitcher throw the ball right down the middle to get a call the ball's gonna get hit. I don't care if you're friggin Roger Clemens, they are going to hit it.
Well in the umpires defense LSU has had this problem all year. When pitchers run the count to 2-0 and 3-1 most of the time hitters are looking fastball. With a righty on the mound throwing 84 mph (Ott) and 87 mph (Bourgeious)fastballs down the middle the end result is 13 runs. It is imperative these guys down fall behind because their stuff is not good enough to survive falling behind all night!

Actually, Bourgeious was hitting 90/91 accroding to the cox gun. But you're essentially right in the assertion that any pitcher constantly pitching from behind in the count will have a hard time getting people out consistently.
On another note, has anyone noticed that Blake Dean refuses hit the ball to left field anymore? It seems everytime I watch LSU this year, Dean is getting out on groundballs to the right side - a sure sign of someone trying to pull the ball. He used to demolish lefties because he would go with the pitch.
