lol people are *****ing about the players celebrating clinching a playoff spot? Wow.

Bro you cant make everyone happy, who cares. Players are going to continue to celebrate, and rightfully so. Some people dont see it that way, but its never going to change, and i gurantee if any of them worked their whole life to get to a stage where they even can play in a wild card game, theyd celebrate too.

Nothing moral about it, it's silly. They've earned the right to play 1 game, that is all. Getting to an actual series is the real accomplishment. Plus minus the pitching staff, these guys should be embarrassed

Why do you care so much?

The Annex
A single elimination game in baseball is not playoffs, after playing 162 games, if you are going to reward a team for making the playoffs, it can't be a single game series

How is it not playoffs? The playoffs is literally extra games played after the regular season is over, with the winners of those games continuing further into the playoffs. The wild-card playoff isn't part of the season so how is it not part of the playoffs? Just because you've made up an arbitrary rule saying that 1-game playoffs can't be part of the playoffs doesn't mean that is true.

Edit: MLB also disagrees with you that this 1-game playoff isn't part of the post-season http://m.mlb.com/postseason-schedule

To be fair that was because of Cecil's injury. That bullpen situation is interesting though.

After Biagini, Osuna, Grilli, Cecil and one of the starters in the current 5 man rotation, its really hard to say who will make the playoff roster cut for the bullpen. Also, what is going on with Gavin Floyd?

how does the roster work for the WC game? Do we get to name a 25 man roster for just the 1 game? Which means we only need to put 1 of the starters on it. So can have 9 or 10 in the pen and 5 or 6 bench players? Or some 15 combination of both since you have 1 starter and 9 starting hitters.
