I use the take a pitch, but not with every batter.
For instance, with a runner on 3rd and a pitcher with a low control rating, I take a few pitches 'cause I've had passed balls and wild pitches a little more than not taking a pitch.
And sometimes I take a few pitches with a batter with good contact and a good eye and a runner on 1st. Lots of times I get into a perfect 2-1 count to then use the hit and run which works very well. It's like being rewarded for using the right stratagy. So I do like the take a pitch.
