Last week I saw a headline about a rookie hitting into a triple play & a run scored during before the 3rd out was recorded.
This had never happened in recorded MLB. The rookies 1st at bat, no less!
Did anyone see the play in person or on TV?
While watching the SF at LAD game on Saturday the commentators mentioned new "intentional walk" rule.
The pitcher does not get the pitch count.
Say they have 3 HR hitters coming up. Mgr wants all 3 walked intensionly. Next guy hits 1st pitch on the ground for triple play.
3 outs on 1 pitch. No runs scored.

A real play like your first example, I can see. Hypotheticals like the second, probably not. The best they'd probably get is a double play, home and third.

In the interest of accuracy, I offer this. The player was not a rookie. He is Todd Frazier, a veteran, and had just been traded to the Yankees from the White Sox. It was his first at bat in pinstripes. The blame, if it can be called that, was probably not his. Didi Gregorius was the runner on second and he did not run to third as he should. After the quick putout at second and the throw to first, Didi was caught in a rundown between second and third and was called out for running outside the baseline. Since the force was off, the runner from third scored.

I believe it wasn't a rookie. Todd Frazier of the Yankees did it. The last out was in a run down while the man on third scored.

Sounds like an every day typical Yawnkee screw up.

I agree that the second hypothetical is most likely a double play, but probably outs are at home and first. It depends on where the hit goes and how fast it is fielded. The runner on second, with lead off and jump on the pitch, can get to third much quicker than the batter to first. But then if these guys on base are HR hitters (in the hypothetical), they might not be all that fast on the bases.
