So, is the Wild Card just one game? Is that basically a play in game for positioning if we end up with the same record as another team?

Its been so long since we have been here who the heck knows?

No, there are 3 rounds of playoffs this year, and then the World Series. The first wild card round is only one game, though, and if the season ended today I believe it would be held in Oakland. But if the O's don't win the division but finish ahead of the A's, then the game would be in Baltimore.

It is a play in game, right? So, the two wildcard teams plays each other in a 1 game elimination? So the only way of guaranteeing that you play in a 7 game series is to win your Division or win the wildcard game (right now that game is between us and Oakland?)

Yep, that's right. But the game will be played regardless, and not just if the two wild card teams have the same record. It's just a question of where the game would be.

If the Orioles and Yankees tie for the division, then there's another play-in game to see who's the division winner and who's the wild card. Right now, the O's hold the tiebreaker, so that game would be in Baltimore.

The WC game tickets are only if the Orioles are the first AL WC. Otherwise you get your money back

I thought only the Wild Card winner matchup was game 1 and 2 at WC and and game 3,4,5 at division winner.

    • Mayo coming back from injury could have his debut in Baltimore delayed. 
    • Wasn't a huge fan of his swing for that last out today but coming in to pinch hit with 2 outs isn't easy.
    • Interpreting Malike's comment that way is theoretically possible, but I didn't take it that way--didn't feel that shade was being thrown on me at all. But thanks for the concern.
    • People are being a bit ridiculous with the holier than thou takes criticizing a little humor. I am not saying what happened couldn’t cause a significant concussion, but it would be a bit of a fluke if it did. Mullins barely hit him with the bat and he had a helmet on. The fact that it was in the back of the head did make him more vulnerable, but this wasn’t the type of thing you see and think he was lucky to be alive.  Guys have probably hit their heads harder on the top of the dugout or on the fence making catches.  And note this comes from someone whose son has suffered severe concussions and who is well aware of the dangers associated with them. In short, people need to lighten up a bit on guys like Roy.  It was a little gallows humor. 
    • Yeah, you read that wrong. LA2 is one of my favorite posters here and he knows it. No harm, no foul. If you aren't familiar with the game threads, it doesn't matter what the team is doing, people complain about it and people did make that same joke in the game thread long before Roy said it here. Game thread in summary - when the O's are not doing well, it's insufferable, when they are doing well, it's mildly less insufferable. There, that wasn't hard. I'd appreciate it if you didn't assume I'm throwing shade at people. I'll leave that up to you to do, you're really good at it.
    • Comp a. Like Gunnar, and beavers…
    • Wasn't Westburg a 2nd round draft pick?  It's a little early to judge last year's draft.
