The game (as in MLB) has changed a lot since the version of OOTP you're probably playing. One thing that would absolutely affect the ability to score runners from third is that strikeouts have increased by a ton in the last few years. I tend to have contact hitters on my teams and as a result, I usually lead the league in sacrifice flies and also get a lot of runners in off ground balls and singles.
I also play iron-clad defenses, but even then there will be pitcher meltdowns. I usually lead the league in ERA and FIP, but I recently posted here about a game I had in which 11 straight hitters reached base (3 different pitchers) resulting in 8 runs allowed. I thought that was crazy until I found out that the actual major league record is 19.
It's baseball. It happens.
