i've seen it quite a bit. in fact the rule in high school fast pitch recently was changed to where a walked batter COULD overrun first just like on a grounder as long as they didn't make a move toward second. we've had a play for years where we throw to first on a walk to catch the runner doing this exact thing. and it works. even in the big leagues. i remember jonny damon stealing on a 3-2 pitch and doing a pop up slide into second after ball 4, i believe against the yankees, and when he popped up his foot came off the bag and joe west correctly punched him out. the key is having a defender know to keep the tag on.
but in general your point still stands. we do make some really dumb plays that leave me scratching my head almost every game.
