No not intentionally, but some strikes are harder to hit than others but you can't let them go by with two strikes or you risk the ump calling the third strike on you and you're out. With those pitches (when you have two strikes already) sometimes just making contact and fouling them off is a good thing. Keeps you alive in the at bat with a chance to get a better pitch to hit later.
