2 strike 2 outs

[Stu Clary]

A better question is why would they? The inning is over, unless i'm missing something.

I agree with everyone here, its great stratagy on the defense to get the batter out and keep him from coming up first the next inning.

You're missing something. See post #3: 2 strike 2 outs

From a coaching perspective - Who is the batter? Maybe he's a "sure" out and I'd be happy to see him leading off the next inning.

Exactly!

But then the question was why wouldn't one ask.

I was responding to Stu Clary's question, and that was not it.

We clearly agree that the defense might or might not have a reason to ask!

The defense made a play. The defense will not have a choice.
