I'm not doing that, and will do my best to avoid it. What I am saying is that "chance that the defense will make the play" is not a factor, and yeah, smart defenses might plunk runners when they have no reasonable chacne to turn two. The potential benefits outweight the risks, in my mind.
Strikes and outs!
