How many wild card teams are there now? Is the Wild Card game between the first and second wild card teams?



3.

There is now a best-of-three wild card round with a series between the 3rd place division winner and the 3rd wild card team and a series between the 1st and 2nd wild card teams

Obviously, we want to win the division, but we're about to be 6 clear of San Diego for the first wild card spot.

Padres are losing 8-0 to the Giants right now.


I also like that we are clear in front of everyone in the Central. That means if we win our division, we get a first round bye, if I understand the new dumb playoff format correctly. Assuming everything holds as is, of course.

He's hitting .282 now. Not even a low average.


Damn, I had no idea he’d gotten it up that high. Seems like it wasn’t long ago he was hitting in the .230s. I knew he’d picked it up, but thought it was still in the .250s. Too bad what he did today won’t count.

Yep.

Contreras made the all star roster

No Riley.

Yeah, that's the perils of having a midseason all star game. By season's end, there are going to be guys who we'll laugh at the fact that they were all stars, and shake our heads at other who were snubbed. Like Riley, last year, for instance.

Do they still do that thing where the fans vote for the last spot out of like 5 guys? Not sure how those guys are/were selected. But there can’t be more than 5 others more deserving than Austin.

I assume there will be the last man in vote, and Riley should be on that list.

Very true. But there’s really no better way to do it logistically, unfortunately.

Yeah, other than having it at the end of the season, but they'll never do that, so I probably didn't need to even mention that.

You would think so.

And we need to get him in as Braves Country if he is on that list.

You know how that list is compiled? And they haven’t mentioned it yet, I’m not sure it’s still a thing.

And wtf are the Yankees and Dodgers jerseys and hats doing on the center of that table? Who cares if they have the best records at the break, it should 100% be the Braves and Astros.

Yep... Just hope other fans don't screw it up for us.
