For instance, if a pitcher is the reason that the series keeps at a tie until the last game, then another pitcher in the team is the reason for the lost, that first pitcher can get the MVP.
Yep, just think about pitchers. Let's say that there were a couple of rainouts in the World Series and a starting pitcher performs like Madison Bumgarner did last year but did it in starts of Games 1, 4, and 6 but his team loses the rest of the games to lose the series. I can't agree with the thought process that says that guy wouldn't deserve MVP.
