Brewer
hard lu<
By Richard Meyers
A??l*t?nt Sports Editor
In baseball terminology, a
hard luck pitcher is defined
as a moundsman who pitches
a fine ballgame, but
whose team doesn't score
enough runs for him and all
the pitcher has to show for
his effort are a low ERA and
one more loss. Milwaukee
Brewer pitcher Moose Haas
ic hairinit tlin l/inrl
u uTing utv ninu v>i oraouu
in 1980.
"Every team has a hard
luck pitcher that doesn't get
any runs, and in that case,
I'm it this year," Haas said.
Haas* record is very
deceiving. He has a lower
ERA (2.63), more strikeouts,
shutouts and a better
strikeout-walk ratio than the
major league's winningest
pitcher, Steve Stone. Yet
Ilaas' record is 14 wins and 9
losses, while Stone sports
baseball's best slate at 20-4.
Stranger still is that the
Brewers are known for their
heavy hitting-except when
Haas is on the mound. The
team ranks fifth in the major
leagues in hitting and is
second in home runs. But
the Brewer's bats seem to go
sleep when Haas is on the i
mound. They have averaged i
less than one run a game in
the right-handers nine
setbacks. I
"In my nine losses, I've t
goi a total of eight runs and 1
I've been shutout three i
times," Haas said. "I'm 5
losing games 2-1, 3-1, 4-1, 1
whereas with the club we <
got, we should be winning ]
some of those games with i
the kind of hitting we have."

berger thinks Haas, the !
Brewer leader in victories, i
strikeouts and shutouts. 1
could have about four or five 1
more wins if he got just a few t
runs a game to work with. i
"I've been very impressed
with Moose Haas. He has a 1
good arm, and four excellent <
pitches with a great com- i
mand of all of them. He has ?
pitched excellent baseball r
this year, but for some I
reason, every time he pit- t
ches, we can't get any runs t
for him. What it is, I don't t
know. But I do know that he t
could very easily have four g
or five more wins right h
now. r

"Last year, he was coming v
off a bad arm, and it took n
him about a half a year k
before he came back to be f<
the pitcher we thought he
could be. Plus he's one more

"You have to remember
that Moose is just a young
boy (24) in this game.
Putting all those things
together, finally, Moose is to
me, considered a top pitcher
now."
11AAS' ERA and strikeout
:otals have placed him in the
op five in the American
eague for the past two
nonins. He has tossed three
shutouts and appears to have
returned to the form that
enabled him to strikeout 14

second week of the 1978
season.

laving
n
Six days after setting the
lub record for most
trikeouts in a game, Haas
uffered a torn muscle in his
ight arm and spent the
etter part of two seasons on
tie road to a complete
ecovery.
* so tar, it's been a hard
lck year for me. I probably
ould be right up there with
tone and Gura and those
uys in wins, but there is
othing you can do about it.
; counts as a win mentally,
ecause I'm throwing the
all good, and I've only had
vo bad starts. The other
mes I've been throwing
ood, winning type
allgames. Whether the
jcord shows it or not, my
RA is down, my strikeoutalk
ratio is good so if your
imbers are good, people
low your team isn't hitting
ryou."
