I’m sure it’s happened more recently but I’m pretty sure the 2000 Yankees went ~5-17 after clinching early like this Braves team and had no trouble turning it back on.

The success rate of teams clinching very early like this would be an interesting study.

We saw the Bobby Cox Braves do this routinely and those teams almost always lost Game 1 of the NLDS. I can't say for sure it's because they weren't sharp, but when it literally happens 6 years in a row... (2000-2005)
