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?
Don't know abnout RL but in MLB2k6 it happens all the time, case in point just won a play-off game becuse of that situation, runner on 3rd - 1 out, hard hit ground ball to the 3rd baseman and the 3rd baseman went to first to get the out while the runner on 3rd came in to score. Happens about half the time in that game. The other half the 3rd baseman will throw home to try and cut down the runner (the runner will turn around and usally get back to the bag) allowing the batter to get to first most of the time.
