Teams dont walk hitters to set up double plays. If they do they arent going to win many games. Extra runners on base = extra runs.
Imagine how many extra runs a team would give up over the course of a season if everytime a hitter got on 2nd or 3rd with 0 or 1 out they walk a hitter to try for the double play?
