(Taking off umpiring hat)
Because most pitchers with a runner on first will not take as long in their leg lift and drive to the plate... so there is really no time for somebody to yell at him, him realize, turn to second without ever moving towards the plate or hanging a leg.
If a pitcher can do this, he's probably wayyy to slow to the plate to begin with.
