Now you would have 2 outs and a runner at 3rd and 2nd... not all that different than 2 outs and runners at 1st and 3rd was my point.
A simple break for home by R1 drawing a throw prevents this. But sending this runner off contact (as seen in the clip) was a very low percentage play imo. It would be very depending on the score, time of the game, on deck and in the hole batters. But if you prefer running into outs, I guess it works for you.
