Try to tell me with a straight face that a guy who got 30 starts in the post season with a 11-14 record, 3.27 ERA with a 1.24 WHIP for the Analytics guys is an all-time great. He wasn't.

That's a bad take. The era in which he pitched was a very high offense era (PEDs). Yes, Smoltz was a great post-season pitcher, and so were others like Schilling who couldn't match Maddux's overall career.

A 3.27 ERA in 30 starts against the very best teams (playoffs/world series) during his high-scoring era was very good. Here are a few others:

Roger Clemens, 34 postseason starts, 3.75 ERA
Tom Glavine, 35 postseason starts, 3.30 ERA
Pedro Martinez, 14 postseason starts, 3.46 ERA
Randy Johnson, 16 postseason starts, 3.50 ERA
