Reply to "First Pitch Strikes"

My question is, how much should a pitcher "give in" to get the first pitch strike?

This is the question and that is why my answer was what it was.
Also you didn't expect me to give in without a fight. I have been aware of the stats for many years but I still would prefer a pitcher to think about what he is doing on a batter/situation basis. There are days my son has trouble throwing a strike like the time he faced Missouri State as a freshman. He walked and hit batters and nothing went right. The coach talked to him on the mound and left him in. After the game he just smiled and said he had no feel for the ball. Even his FB was moving around too much. He gave up half the ERs that season in that 1 inning.
Thats BB.
