Ex: Why "Hit and Run" is stupid

Brian Anderson, quoted after Cory Hart was gunned down at second base because J.J. Hardy was forced to swing (and miss badly) at a ball that was nearly in the dirt on a hit-and-run call on a 1-1 count, with one out and one on:

"J.J. Hardy tries to start all over, down 1-2 with two outs, after Hart was gunned down on the failed hit-and-run attempt."

Obviously, this is one isolated example, but if this doesn't epitomize the evils of the hit and run, I don't know what does.
