Kouzmanoff tied franchise record Wednesday

by plunkeveryone on Aug 28, 2009 10:42 AM PDT

I just thought I'd point out that Kevin Kouzmanoff tied the Padres career record for HBPs when Manny Acosta hit him in the 8th inning on Wednesday. He's now tied with Gene Tenace at 35. Kouzmanoff also became the first Padre ever to have three seasons with 10 or more HBPs, and you probably remember that he broke the single season franchise record last year with 15.

If you're reading this and saying "Really? The Padres plunk record is only 35? Don Baylor got hit that many times in 1986." you're right. The Padres are tied with the Rays for the lowest franchise plunk record among current MLB teams. Along with the Padres and Rays, the Mets are the only other team which hasn't had at least one player take 50 plunks for them.

That is what happens

when your reputation around the league is that you can’t hit inside fastballs.

Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

At least he didn't something well

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this blog is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on our souls.

I read the title of this fanpost

and wondered,“They keep records for that?”

I’m sorry, I just couldn’t help myself.

Kouz deserves the Gold Glove this year!

He’s been fantastic at 3rd Base. However, he probably won’t get it because he does not have 30HRs and 100RBIs. Oh, well. Hats off to you, Kouz, for your dynamic defensive play at the corner this year!
