[expletive] it, I'll go full meatball here. How'd we do in the playoffs again? Honestly, I get what you're saying, but I've always had it in my head that pitching wins in the playoffs. Cold weather, elite stuff, keeps bats at bay. Time to go to bed. May be. But seriously, can someone give me something that backs up why elite pitching doesn't win in the playoffs? Elite anything wins in the playoffs. Doesn't have to be pitching. No one on last year's Red Sox staff fits the definition of 'elite' (save Koji I suppose)
