Running Lane Violation on Walk

From Greymule:
I'm aware of the ruling. However, I would think that, just as there must be a "quality" throw, there must be some reason for the throw to first. Offhand, I can't think of any. What's the play where the running lane violation would apply on a walk?


I can site something that happened in our game 3 days ago:
R1 on 3rd base; B2 draws a walk. F2 throws to F3 to ensure the BR does not try to steal second in an attempt to draw a throw (and have R1 steal home).

Does this help?
