Let’s talk about narratives.
“David Price can’t pitch in the playoffs.” “Buckles under the pressure.”
This idea came mostly from the fact that he had never recorded a win as a starter in the playoffs.
Never mind that he once pitched the Rays into the playoffs with a complete game 163. That’s different. Somehow.
Never mind that, with Toronto, he pitched well enough to “deserve” a win, but never got it. A true ace would have done better.
Yes his overall playoff performance was worse than his overall regular season performance, wins aside.
