On April 13th we needed a win very badly and we needed a starter that could go deep into a game

Fister went 8 innings and gave up 3 hits and 0 walks and I immediately told my friend “Fister just stole my heart” and I’m sticking to it.

He's a useful arm to have.

Plus his moments of brilliance are just damn entertaining.

Everything is Rob Johnson's fault.

I was there for his first win against the Yankees

So I like to pretend that I have some sort of unique personal stake in his career.

I've loved him since he came up.

He’s pitched really well since he came up last year, and I enjoy how he’s been able to overcome mediocre stuff to be an asset.

Also, I’m super annoying, end enjoy going, “Fister?! I ’ardly know ’er!” Because like I said, I’m really annoying.

50!

For me, there's not only Felix Day...

… but there’s now a Doug Fister Day as well. He has nothing more than mediocre stuff, yet carries himself as such an intense competitor. No emotion when he toes the rubber. He just goes right after guys. I can imagine him being a royal pain in the ass to the fans of other AL teams a la the Angel version of Chone Figgins.
