Also think about the mechanics of how this is happening. Are we seeing a guy ignoring the third base coach and gambling to get to third or is this the third base coach waving him on, perhaps showing a flaw in the base coaches in game logic?

Good runners get thrown out as well. Hopefully less often, but they're good, not perfect.
As for the mechanics, I dunno. But in real life players will get thrown out running through a base coaches sign and they'll get thrown out even when the coach waves them on at times.
So that it happens in game is not an ai shortcoming, imo.

If that was true then it'd be an issue, but you'd need a lot of data to figure that out. Far more than just posting a few plays here. To convince Markus a change is needed you'll have to mine the game logs for data and get several seasons worth of info that shows an issue. Just saying it happens way too much isn't going to sway anyone that doesn't already agree with you, and certainly not the people who can actually make changes.
Not trying to be critical by saying that, you've posted some good stuff that may need to be tweaked. But without far more data this one seems like a total non-starter to me.
