Last night M Margot finally stole a base. Then he got adventurous and stole third. However, Kinsler was on first and attempted to steal second during Margot's steal of third but was thrown out at second for the second out of the inning. The announcers said Posey had no chance to get Margot. Margot did not get credit for his steal of third base. Is this the correct ruling on this play? TIA

It's actually been a rule for over 100 years!
"[The year] 1910 saw the first addressing of the double and triple steal attempts. Under the new rule, when any runner is thrown out, and the other(s) are successful, the successful runners will not be credited with a stolen base."

great get, Revo.
I'll bet I haven't seen a botched double steal in 15 years.
I see both sides of whether the guy deserves credit for a steal - but rule says no.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

The rule seems to make perfect sense. The catcher can’t throw out both runners, simultaneously...so the successful runner shouldn’t get credit because the catcher threw out the other guy.2021 Auction Anatomy
