One out and Handley at second and he tries to steal 3rd?  Aggressive or foolish?

I thought the conventional wisdom was never to be the first or third out at third.  Second out seems ok, since a sacrifice fly scores you a run, but I will admit that this was the received wisdom in the days before the quants, so it may have been proven wrong.

I wasn't watching that part but the play-by-play shows it as P-3B which suggests maybe he was caught off base (maybe a pickoff move) and had to head to third. (Just guessing.)
