Kevin Kouzmanoff's long black night of the soul
2008-05-31 08:23
by Bob Timmermann

Friday wasn't a night to remember for Padres third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff in San Francisco.

 

  • AB #1, 1st inning, 1st and 3rd, 2 out - Kouzmanoff flies out to center
  • AB #2, 3rd inning, runner on 2nd, 1 out - Kouzmanoff grounds out to third
  • AB #3, 6th inning, leadoff batter - Kouzmanoff flies out
  • AB #4, 8th inning, bases loaded 1st and 2nd, none out - Kouzmanoff grounds into a 5-4-3 triple play
  • AB #5, 11th inning, 1st and 2nd, no outs - Kouzmanoff grounds into a 4-6-3 douple play
  • AB #6, 13th inning, bases loaded, one out - Kouzmanoff pops out on the infield fly rule.

Kouzmanoff goes 0 for 6, leaves 9 runners, and makes 9 outs in 6 at bats. (The boxscore says 9, although I think the total should be 11 runners left on base, 2 on the first AB, 1 on the second AB, then two bases loaded outs (6 runners) and a DP with 2 runners on should count for two, but there are no rules for individual LOB.) It adds up now because Kouzmanoff didn't ground into bases loaded TP.

However, the Padres beat the Giants 7-3 in 13 innings.

Well y'know, at least he didn't strike out.

Sounds like somebody's not playing the game the right way.

Did he get an RBI on the triple play, or does the third out negate it? (Though it must have occurred long after the runner made it in to home, surely.)

You can't score a run when the third out is made on a force play at first.

Also, as I've discovered, the bases weren't loaded at the time.
