I once watched Joey votto in BP intentionally foul pitches. Hes one of the best at it.
When your down to two strikes, you are going to get some bad pitches in the strike zone. If you get a piece of it and send it foul you keep forcing the pitcher to throw you another "bad" pitch. The pitcher may make a mistake and give you something to hit.
