He probably stopped at 2nd so he could steal 3rd.

The excellent article referenced by Chad explains about half of Rickey's poor triples total; this quip could well explain the other half. Although, Rickey would probably express it this way: "Why would Rickey risk getting thrown out at third when Rickey can steal third any time he wants".
