When did the Rangers become the Yankees? They are linked to literally EVERY free agent and trade option.

the day they failed in 2 straight WS, then failed to get to the playoffs the third year.

Wild Card game is still playoffs.

Vouch.
And going into the playoffs too, they had a good shot on paper to make it to the WS and lose again rofl.
Playoffs are coinflips bro

fixed

Braves made the playoffs. So did the Cardinals. And the Rangers and the Orioles.

tbh i don't get how you can consider it anymore being in the playoffs than when the tigers lost to the twins in game 163 a few years ago. a 1 game playoff game isn't considered playoffs in my mind.

None of that matters, its the rules now, rofl.

i know what the rules state and they differ from my opinion, losing the wild card play-in game is not considered playoffs in my mind. why it's called a "play-in" game.

its the Wild-Card round.
they play to get into the Divisional round. Once there, they play to get into the Championship round.

that's how I interpret the term play-in
