Most of the fields around here don't have much room between the foul line and DBT. It would not be a problem for a BR to dash into DBT while an outfielder is camped under a high fly ball.
The very idea that the BR can kill the play at will and stop the defense from executing plays by running into DBT is just wrong, regardless of how often it comes up.
