Do you think pitchers like when the stadium gets loud for 0-2 pitch?

Feels like 99 percent of the time they throw the next pitch in the dirt anyway.

I really meant when there is 2 strikes in general and are trying to get the strike out. For instance in a full count and the crowd starts going wild, I wonder if they like it

I remember a baseball player, it might have been Brian Roberts saying that hitters usually tune everything out and don't hear the crowd during at-bats. I imagine pitchers are the same way. I doubt the crowd has much impact on a pitcher.

Crowd/noise mean very little to a pitcher

I wonder if they like the noise or if distracts it them.

Would you like for it to be quite and one person yelling or a bunch of white noise?

Biggest advantage of home field is last at bat and you can sleep in your own beds. Crowd mean little to nothing.

Some may use it as a nice adrenaline pump. When they know the crowd is making all that noise in support of them rather than against them, it's a nice confidence booster. The crowd eruption from getting a strikeout is a nice mental reward.

But for others, I agree with the other replies that they don't even notice it enough to make a difference. I've never heard a pitcher say "gosh I wish our crowd would STFU!"
