Who's guaranteeing a win? I am stating that this is a game that this team should win. The matchups the next two days look unfavorable. A win tonight is crucial.

The Nats say they have turned the corner, well prove it and win tonight against a #5 pitcher and a weak offense at home.

This is baseball. Even in the worst of matchups the lesser team has probably a greater than 30% chance of victory. So it seems weird to me to emphasize any particular game as proving (or disproving) anything at all.

How many #5 pitchers have a career 3.97 ERA with a 1.28 WHIP?

I'll wait.

I'm not saying they won't... but to assume that from the start for a guy with a career 3.97 ERA and 1.28 WHIP is a joke.

We'd kill for a starter with those career numbers... and you go off and call him "a backend #5 SP at very best".

It's hilarious you use W/L record to justify why he's a bum.

He is certainly not a #3 or better pitcher and I wouldn't call him a #4 either. He's a typical #5 pitcher, nothing more nothing less.

Regardless of what you think of him, he is a guy the Nationals should beat if it is believed that we are a good team.

That's the best lineup we have. No excuse not to win tonight even with Livo on the mound.

dude you need help. it's not fun when you post crap like this.

Yeah... looking at Fister's career stats, it's not at all clear to me why spoprtsfan thinks he's a "fifth starter" (there is no such thing) or "career minor leaguer" when he has pretty good peripherals and ERA and made 28 starts last year...

Fister's peripherals are right in line with how he's pitching.

I looked it up the other day and he has been fairly even this year. Even slightly better on the road. Should look up career though, because he is off to good start and is playing better than his previous numbers indicate.

Your buddy John Lannan has similar numbers (slightly higher WHIP).

I'm not saying there is no value in having #5 caliber pitcher but it is a guy you should beat.

Why?

Because he is average, mediocre. We are at home where we play well. We have our best lineup on the field.

The Nats should win this game if they are legit.

Why shouldn't the Mariners win?

Are they also not legit?

Fister had a career 4.34 ERA in 421.1 Minor League innings. Gives up more hits than IP and does not rack up a lot of Ks.

He's mediocre through and through.

Sharp · « **Reply #67 on:** June 21, 2011, 01:41:37 pm »

For the last time, a "#5 caliber pitcher" is a replacement-level AAA player. At worst you might call Fister a fourth starter, but he's put up 5 fWAR in the three years he's been in the majors, two of which are incomplete... he's a far better pitcher than you're giving him credit for. Of course, the Safeco effect is very real, but that logic needs to be applied to all Mariners pitchers, not just Fister.

we should be able to beat him tonight. i've seen him pitch at home and on the road this season, he's a different pitcher.

So now his major league career (326 IP) doesn't count?

That's a new one from you.

Fister's ERA keeps rising this season:

April: 2.70 ERA
May: 3.79 ERA
June: 4.50 ERA

Getting worse it seems.

He's been such a loser lately. Disgraceful giving up 3 hits against that terrible Cards lineup. Lucky for him the game ended after 9 innings because for sure he was starting to tire and once again it would have fallen to the bullpen in the 12th or 13th to try to salvage the game.
