Kyle Davies Plunks A.J. Pierzynski, Parade Noon Tomorrow at the Plaza

by Old Man Duggan on Jul 18, 2011 11:11 PM EDT in Royals Game Recaps

As comeuppance for being a supreme doucher, Kyle Davies plunked A.J. Pierzynski in the top of the fourth inning. Pierzynski, known to mankind as the worst person in its vile and violent history, has been playing with fire by simply continuing to exist. Hiram Davies knew that his opportunity had come when White Stockings starter Mark Buehrle hit rookie Mike Moustakas in the bottom of the second. Exhibiting a patience previously only shewn by people later Sainted, Davies resisted the urge to hit each and every South Sider in as prudent manner as possible.

The Royals still lost, but such inconsequential things matter little when ~~jerks~~ men as dastardly as Anthony John Pierzynski are hit with thrown balls.

There is absolutely no chance that Davies meant to hit AJ.

How do I know this? Because the pitch hit AJ.

Did I just miss the memo?

Had no idea, until a couple moments ago, that Matt Treanor was a Royal…14 years ago. WTF?

Wasn't it just in the minors?

That's Michael Barrett, right?

The gif moves too fast. If it could be slowed down, so we get the full impact of the blow, it would be even better.

pretty sick of it myself.

That's hypnotic

I keep staring and thinking that his head might roll off and hit the wall in the background. That could have have resulted in a 2 or 3 game suspension for Barrett.

Mendoza eh?

Hrmmmm

by NobodyFsWDeJesus on Jul 18, 2011 11:22 PM EDT via mobile reply actions

There are things to like:

2.06 ERA and 4-1 (as a starter) and the WHIP is low in an offense-heavy league. K-BB ratio of 22-16 not so much.

by kansasjohn on Jul 18, 2011 11:40 PM EDT up reply actions

obviously we have to keep Davies

or else Mendoza will be starting games for us

Let me guess

Rejuvenated Kyle Davies, in the hunt for a win but for a bad defensive play, really mixed up his pitches tonight and had his career strikeout high. Like the other Royals starters, he has become much less predictable. Pardon me while I PUKE!

I feel like I'm missing something

why do we hate AJ Pierzynski? I know he has a reputation of being a… doucher, as Will so eloquently put it. What events are that reputation built on?

I'm the eloquence-challenged fella who called Pierzynski a doucher.

Are you not watching the games? Every game offers a new nugget of douchebaggery. The balk nonsense in the Crow game. The fact that a catcher (Barrett in the beautiful .gif above) felt compelled to turn and punch A.J. while A.J. was batting. The Tomko kerfuffle in SF. The polling of the Royals outfielders as to who they’d want to rob of a home run and two of the four wanted that one player to be Pierzynski. He has a reputation throughout baseball as being one of the most loathsome players in baseball. It oozes from his pores.

Maybe when Davies gets released

we can all kick in a couple of bucks for a commemorative plaque reading something like, “You weren’t a very good pitcher, but thank you for plunking Pierzynski. It made up for your crummy ERA. From all Royals fans.”
