Sort of depends on who you have coming up next as you run the risk of taking the bat out of the hands of a good hitter. But if your 7 and 8 hitters get on base type of thing I don't mind doing it with the 9 hitter to give the top of your lineup a chance to bat with some guys on base. But I don't think I'd ever try it with a #2 hitter and than have your 3 hitter coming up with an open base unless my 4 and 5 hitters were so hot that the opponent would feel obligated to pitch to the number 3 guy.
