I had the same thing happen to me (although not numerous years) In my 2nd season, (Historical, 1978) I coasted to a 105 win season, and in the best of 5 NLCS, my ace (Richard Wortham 20-4) got shelled for 7 runs in the first inning and lost, then my 2nd best pitcher got shelled for 8 runs in the first three innings and lost gm 2. I ended up losing a decisive game 5, with my ace getting shelled again.

I had the feeling that the opponent stepped up its intensity for the playoffs and I could do nothing about it. My bunts for hits stopped working, my stolen bases all failed and I couldn't stop the other team's offense.
