I agree with TwoBits's rulings, but this piece is crucial: what you'll often see with a RHP on this play is that he'll flip the ball to 3B without stepping first. That's a balk for not stepping directly to the base ahead of the throw.

This point might explain your different rulings on what might seem to be the same play.
