My plan would be to hit the ball hard and score lots of runs.

Sounds about right.
LOL....I have said you have to be “aggressively patient” which sounds ridiculous.
Translation- plate discipline against an Ace is even more critical.
People will say....”work the count” and drive up his pitch count.
Much easier said than done.
If you are too passive and are constantly in the hole he will chew you up.
But hitting the ball the other way is super important.

Start out the game 1-7 with a bloop single to build his confidence, then "wham".

My suggestion was cards pitcher throws a shut out and cards scratch out 1 run but that plan has went awry

1. is always the best approach against a VG same-side pitcher.
2. If that doesn't work, try your luck by going full-on Kruk.
