Because you know me so well?

With the other, it would be R3(nee R1) and R2(nee B3) on 3B & 2B with B3 batting. Wait a minute, didn't B3 just bat and is now standing on 2B?

True as far as continuing with subsequent plays. But that is so rarely done. I can't even think of a thread where this method was used, except in your above example! Most of our posts and most of the case plays are individual plays. I can't even think of a series of case plays that this method was used.
