stealing is ridiculous

If you're gonna steal, steal! Why does HAL wait until there is one out to attempt the steal?? Is this to give the next batter ample opportunity to ground into a DP??
Seriously, how many times have you seen this? batter gets on with 0 out. next batter makes out. THEN runner on 1st attempts steal. If I'm going to steal I'm not gonna wait for the batter to "poke one through the GD hole!"
