I get it, I can understand why they are upset.But what they are really mad it is being down by a bunch and not having a real chance to win, not that a guy tried to steal. Besides, as the announcer correctly stated, they weren't holding him on, so... they were they really all that concerned? And why not take the base anyways? If it's a game early on in the series, making their pitchers throw as many pitches as possible is a realistic goal since it would potentially help thin the pen for the next few games. And even if its the last game of a series, thin the pen as much as possible. It's not their job to make the other team's bullpen situation easier to manage going forward, division opponent or not.
