I haven't seen anything to make me wonder. I've seen a lot of players underperform in the playoffs, and players overperform in the playoffs.

In 2032 my team was by far the most dominant there was, only team to win over 100, and I won 133 games. My ace, O'Halligan, won 31 games that season (starting 35) and lost 1 with a 1.52 ERA. In fact, my other starters were 16-5, 16-6, 18-6, and 16-5 that year. They destroyed everything that came on the field.

I did some fancy footwork to make sure O'Halligan would start game one of the divisional series... he won it easily with a shutout. I went on to sweep the divisional series and went on to fact Chicago who I beat out in the Central division by over 30 games. O'Halligan started the game, and lost it 5-0. Borunda started game 2, and lost 10-2. Alfronso started game 3 in Chicago and lost 7-1. O'Halligan came on for game 4 and lost 10-3.

In 2033 I "only" win 113 games. We struggle through the division series and go on to sweep the league championship and World series. O'Halligan wins 23 games that season, but the next closest starter won 15. The star of the postseason was Lagumbay, who went 4-0 in the playoffs with a 1.2 ERA after going 12-8 on the regular season with a 4.8 ERA.

Beechey and Regaldo were some of the most dominating players to ever play the OF for me, ending their careers with over 600 HRs each, over 3500 hits each, and both ended with over .330 averages for their career. Their totals in the playoffs are junk, neither hit over .250 and only 5 HRs combined in the postseason... both of them played in every postseason from 2007 to 2026 and got 8 WS rings in that time.

In 37 seasons played I've gone 4341-1653, .724 win percent. I've "only" won 17 WS titles. For 36 years I've been the most dominating team in baseball (didn't make the playoffs in the inaugral season), and I had a 6 year stretch where I couldn't get past the first round, 8 years of missing the WS.
