I believe what I describe is preventive officiating.
I believe that a batter-runner running in a situation where he is not entitled to run is much different than the typical case where a retired runner is not interfering by the action of merely running.
It is either ignorance on the part of the batter or an attempt by the retired batter to draw a throw. Ignorant at best, unsporting at worst.
If I can stop that, I'm making things better. Why should the offense EVER benefit from a batter striking out on a pitch that is caught by the catcher?
