Edgy MD Site Manager Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Doug sets a new league record striking out nine straight big league batters.Yeah, it's the Royals in September, but it counts for everybody else, so it counts for Doug F. Fister.http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/gametracker/recap/MLB_20120927_KC@DET/firstplace-tigers-walk-off-with-w-over-royalsTom Seaver's record remains safe.

Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 The thing about Fister in that game, above and beyond the strike-outs, is that he carried a one-hit shut-out thru 7 but then started the 8th:2BRBI-2BGORBI-GO1BWPRBI-1Band couldn't finish the inningThat the pen then gave up a game-tying HR to lead off the 9th meant he didn't even get the win when the Tigers won via the always-popular 'walk-off fielder's choice' in bottom 9

Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Not to throw cold water on his accomplishment or anything, but I saw a sequence high-lights thing of all nine Ks and the reason many of them were looking as that article says is that a lot of the strike-threes were pretty borderline. Nothing outrageous on a Eric Gregg-ian scale or anything, but a bunch of Royals were muttering back over their shoulders as they left the plate.
