Fister's hot start

Watching Fister blow through the Angels tonight made me think....what other Mariner pitchers came out of nowhere and were successful to start.

The two names that came to my mind were Dave Fleming in 1991-92 and Bob Wolcott in 1995.

Lets compare:

Dave Fleming

(1991) St 1 - v KC (W) 5 IP, 5 H, 2 K, 0 ER

(1992) St 2 - v. TEX (L) 6 IP, 9 H, 4 K, 8 ER

St. 3 - @ CHW (W) 7.2 IP, 6 H, 4 K, 0 ER

St. 4 - @ MIL (ND) 1.1 IP, 6 H, 1 K, 5 ER

St. 5 - @ CAL (W) 5.2 IP, 4 H, 6 K, 2 ER

TOT -  3-1, 25.2 IP, 30 H, 17 K, 15 ER

CAREER 38-32, 4.67 ERA

Bob Wolcott

(1995) St 1 - v.BOS (W) 5 IP, 7 H, 2 K, 2 ER

St 2 - v. BAL (L) 3.1 IP, 6 H, 1 K, 4 ER

St. 3 - @ BOS (W) 6 IP, 9 H, 4 K, 2 ER

St. 4 - @ NYY (W) 5.2 IP, 8 H, 4 K, 3 ER

St. 5 - v. KC (ND) 5 IP, 5 H, 2 K, 3 ER

TOT -3-1, 25 IP, 35 H, 13 K, 14 ER

CAREER 16-21, 5.86 ERA

Doug Fister

(2009) St. 1 v. CHW (ND) 6 IP, 1 H, 4 K, 0 ER

St. 2 v. NYY (W) 7 IP, 8 H, 4 K, 3 ER

St. 3 @ CLE (ND) 6.1 IP, 6 H, 4 K, 2 ER

St. 4 v. KC (L) 6.1 IP, 5 H, 5 K, 5 ER

St. 5 v. ANA (W) 7.1 IP, 5 H, 2 K, 1 ER

TOT 2-1 32.IP, 26 H, 19 K, 11 ER

Realistically Fister should have a third win, if it wasnt for the CHW game.  The numbers look very close.

Lets hope that Fister is more like Fleming than Wolcott.
