Yeah, I've heard this over the past couple of years from baseball people who believe softball should adopt the "progressive" tie breaker with runners at 1st & 2nd. One of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

The idea of the tie breaker is to create the possibility of scoring a run, not set up the defense for a DP.
