That is because this is already a TWP - and the only way it can be imagined is if R2 on first (or BR) steals (or continues past) 2nd but R1 on 2nd doesn't go anywhere.

You've turned this into a FWP. How would you envision this play happening? R1 from 2nd simply refuses to advance on a walk? R1 from 2nd refuses to run to third on a single? This makes no reasonable sense. Any defense is going to throw that ball to third (or home if bases are loaded) for the easy out.

If defense can't or won't do that, I suppose the only logical thing is to advance the runner - I'm certainly not going to give defense an out when they refused to take it when it was this easy.
