^ Maybe a quick swing of the leg in the dirt, eh?

Another I thought was text related, but the more I examine it when it happens the more I think it's AI. Maybe I'm wrong, but if the batter hits a grounder to the 3B with a man on third, I think it unusual for the 3B to make the throw to first while the runner on third scores.

I've seen a few situations where a runner on second will hold with a grounder to the SS, but there seem to be a number of man on third scores with a GB to the third basemen. Just doesn't sit right with me as a rule, maybe now and then with an extremely fast baserunner taking right off with the pitch. Thoughts?
