Would you call this situation making a travesty of the game?
R1, no outs. Batter bunts down the first base line a little to hard, F3 comes in, fields the ball and starts running toward B/R for a tag out and a possible reverse double play at second. B/R backpeddles to give R1 time to reach second.
With your rule F3 sees B/R step back, knowing he is going to be called out he and fires to second for the double play. Might work in softball but not in Baseball.
If the B/R backtracks to the plate he is called out but until then he is fine. G.
