Offense as a whole goes down in the playoffs - not just for teams with power. The stats actually show that teams that rely on power have their offensive production drop less than teams that rely on small ball ( http://grantland.com/the-triangle/ml...yths-to-ignore). |
Sure offenxe goes down across the board, but if you can't bring a guy home from second with no outs because you really solely on power, you are a lot worse off than a team that only needs a little bloop single.
