In the example shown by Deja Bru, the throw from the outfield was NOT to home plate. It was to the cutoff man who then threw it to 3rd. This is a triple. The runner was safe at 3rd. If the runner was out, different story, he gets a double. This play happens constantly. The animation and the pbp text don't mesh on this play. If like everybody says, the pbp tells the real story of the play, then the animation is the wrong one. The animation is fine, it's just not the right one for this play. To me, though, it would be easier to just change the text.
