In real life, a manager can opt to 'call a game' from the dugout. You can't do that in OOTP (at least not yet), but an OOTP manager should at least be able to give some vague instructions to his pitcher. A 'pitch to contact' option at least allows the manager to tell his pitcher to try to stay in the zone, to keep his pitch count down, and to not throw 'chase pitches'. As I pointed out above, it's not an option you'd want to use very often, since strikeouts are good. But it at least adds to the options available when playing out games, and I can't see how that's a bad thing.

I'm fine with that, just so long as the outcome is something like pushing the close door button in an elevator. Most of the time you're not sure if it's even wired up.
Coach: Go right after 'em, ace. (pats on butt)
Pitcher: Got it, coach. (goes back to, you know, pitching)
