If the pitcher uses his two throws and doesn't pick off the runner, then he gets a third throw but has to throw him out or the runner advances.
Obviously...
The third throw is for situations like "run downs" etc., where the runner is caught off the base...
The two throw rule doesn't mean the runner get's a free stolen base.
The pitcher can still throw if the runner is guarnteed to be picked off.
