i do think they can throw to second base though as thats not a pickoff but trying to stop an attempted steal

Again, you had the threat of a throw over at the very least with Lester. This rule eliminates the possibility of a throw over in game situations. It is not the same thing and it does give you an advantage if you're able to draw two throws. You can run at will after that.
