Call me Old School, but what happened to the concept of protecting the plate with two strikes on??

I imagine the math doesn't support it.

I'm told it's modern baseball.   Nobody cares about strikeouts any more.   It's waiting for that perfect pitch you can drive at max velocity.   One hard hit ball and 3 strikeouts is fine.   A slap single doesn't score a run,  or something.
