I've seen the double play/runner stays at third a little bit more than I'd like, maybe a half dozen times per season. It's maddening when it happens, but I usually just let my imagination explain it somehow.

As for the runner staying at third on a ground ball with one out, it's standard strategy for runners on third base to go on contact with one out, especially good base runners. I'm not saying they should go 100 percent of the time, but probably more than 95 percent of the time.
