Can we face an Ace every game?

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

The Brewers have won games where Zambrano, Cueto, and Santana have pitched this year. I don't have any numbers on this, but it seems like the Brewers hit very well against good pitchers. We did lose to Harang, but he's a pitcher that seems to own us. Any theories on why this is?

We didn't hit well against Zambrano or Cueto.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

Yeah, that's true, so it must just be that we've gotten good pitching on our end when facing good opposing pitchers.

[wisportswriter]

We can if Sheeter is pitching against them, as he has all 3 times.

JMO, but I think that's probably been more the factor than anything else. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Harang is Cincy's ace and that didnt work out so well

Zambrano blanked the Brewers, Cueto pretty much blanked the Brewers, Harang certainly blanked the Brewers.

 

So no, facing an ace every game would likely result in a 40 win season.

I think I started this thread in frustration of losing to that garbage pitcher last night.

And Barry Zito!

I would be more than happy to face Zito for 162 games a year.

 

Harang drives me absolutely nuts. I have a feeling the Reds pitchers will make me throw many things at the TV this year.

Let's hope the trend continues with Adam Wainwright. If we even face him this week. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Instead of an ace every game, can we have the Giants at home every game?

Adam Wainwright is St. Louis's ace, which is like being named valedictorian of your summer school class.

 

Aces don't bother us this season as much as bustout ex-Brewers, whether they're pitchers or catchers. Nelson Figueroa, Raul Casanova, even Paul freakin' Bako. I shudder to think of when we'll face Henry Blanco in Chicago, Glendon Rusch in San Diego. Just hope no one signs Keith Osik or Wes Obermueller...
