I was playing 'MLB 2006' for the PS2 and walked a guy on four pitches just to tire out my pitcher and get my manager to change the pitcher (in CAREER mode, you create a player then control the team, but you don't make managerial decisions (substitutions)).

After he 'walked', the two commentators had a discussion and then applauded the fact that I 'pitched around' the hitter, and then the one announcer (the voice of Dave Campbell from ESPN) explains the exact reason why I did it.

Ummmmmmm, it took me five minutes before I could resume thinking after that.
