And to say there's only 5 aces is a joke. Madbum is a top 10 pitcher- all 10 are aces.

i don't know if you watched either of those games but i remember constant 89-91 mph fastballs being left right over the middle. Let's just say he didn't look like his normal self on those days.

Here's a question and it shows how much history relies on other actions: if the Giants hadn't won Game 5 against the Cards and had gone on to lose the series, Madbum wouldn't have been able to dominate in the WS. My question is, would people still be talking about him as some sort of postseason god? Remember he gave up 3 HR to the Cards in game 5 and would've lost were it not for Morse and Ishikawa.

Is there a rule that says there has to be 10 aces? I don't know why your arbitrary cut off makes more sense than mine
