Interesting take PG. I can honestly say I've never thought of it that way. I can remember I used to always tell my son to go down swinging, to never put it in the umpires hand. Now you have me at least thinking about it differently. I'm not sure I have changed my mind as I tend to have a type A personality and would rather be in control of a given situation, but I can certainly agree that swinging at the third strike will almost certainly result in a less than .500 batting average. I guess it all depends how much you trust your guy and how good his pitch / plate recognition is.
