I think for the playoffs just like after spring training all things are reset. We all know in the playoffs things just change from the regular season. More adrinilin is flowing for sure, the ability to choke (yes even your starter ace with a 2.xx era) Plus the season has whithered away some of the talent some players had. The Yankees and the Red Sox over the last few years have proven that just because you are great during the season doesn't mean you are going to win it all. Look how Detroit of last year sucked in the World Series. lol choke choke choke. Look how many years the Redsox got there and choked choked choked wasn't it like 100 years haha So, you can't expect just because you have the awesomest best team in the league that you're going to win it all in the playoffs or even ever (I've won more world series with an above average team than with the best money could buy Steinbrenner could take a lesson from that). If you did the game would get boring. By losing it just makes you want to do it again and shuffle some players around and hope you get the clutch performance players for when the playoffs arrive. There used to be a clutch performance stat in the sion page of old, but, I can't find it in this one, perhaps that is a "hidden" stat and during the playoffs it really shows up. BTW I just lost another World Series, but, I stomped on their ACE in the 2nd inning by 7 runs lol so it works both ways those 7 run innings vs aces lol.
