How about this scenario:
My best hitter is up. He hits to the outfield most every time. I have a runner on first. Before the umpire puts the ball in the machine, I have my runner run to second and then on to third. As long as my batter gets the ball out of the infield the runner at third stays or at worst goes back to second. If the batter misses, the runner has to go back to first. If the batter gets an infield single, then I just hold my runner at third.
I'm on a small field, there are no triples. This takes the double play away. This makes no sense to me. I cannot see why anyone would apply this rule to machine pitch that allows stealing.

In Cal Ripken, if a runner leaves base early he can advance only one base further than the batter does. So if the batter gets a single then runner would have to be at 2B when play is over. After seeing you do this as a planned strategy I would have to tell you to stop doing that.
