While I am not a proponent of this system it was used extensively previously in games of two man crews in lower levels of professional baseball.
I freely admit that since I have not attended a professional school in many years and have not worked (or watched) a lower level minor league game in years this system is probably no longer taught.
But it did make sense to SOMEONE in the past.

Oh, I'm aware, Tim, that it used to be done a long time ago, but there's a reason why it's not done today, thank God.
