Lets look at the other side of the coin. 1-1 count, 1 out, runners on first and second. Batter swings at a ball in the dirt that gets by the catcher. R2 and R1 now move up and become R3 and R2. Counts now 1-2. He swings at another ball in the dirt. You now say "Strike 3, batters out" batter hearing this, he stops running, the catcher tags him easily. Now the O coach is climbing in your a$$ because your actions put his runner in jeopardy.
Make the players and coaches responsible for knowing the rules. Everyone on that field should know that he can't run when there are less than 2 outs and first base is occupied.
