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.

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.

You should do Shawn Kelley next.
Polls will be resumed on Monday morning
Oh good heavens look who happens to be next!
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.

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.

His name pushes it from like to love

Yeah, I’m immature.

I'm in this camp.
I'm loving that 2-seamer

He will probably crash down to earth, but I love Fister.

I love Fister more than any non Felix player on the team.
I love Fister too

It’s irrational, but I love players who improbably succeed with stuff that just shouldn’t work.

I like Doug Fister, I just refuse to get attatched to him as a player

No matter how good he pitches this season, the kid’s got a very low ceiling. In fact, we may have already seen it.

I dislike him because you guys like him and that annoys me
He's been growing on me.

Ever since the near no-no vs Baltimore a few weeks ago.
