As long as they are making the 3rd out at home I am all for this, unless they are down by 3+ runs or Braun/Fielder is up next. Even if you get thrown out 50% of the time in this scenario you will come out ahead in the long run. Additionally, if the decision is either sitting at third and giving up a guaranteed out at 1st/2nd (or a possible DP), or heading home and forcing a close play at the plate I am all for going home as the benefit of scoring in that situation is not only a run, but it also keeps the other team from recording an out (if they so choose to throw home), and the worst case scenario isn't that bad (same number of outs and baserunners, but you no longer have a guy on third). I think teams are far too tentative to force plays at the plate because of the psychological negative impact of making an out in that scenario. If teams (and fans) can get over that and learn to accept the bad with the good on aggressive plays at the plate more victories will be the result. Of course a big caveat to this is the quality of the defense you are facing, and that's hard to quantify.
