Talk:Major League Baseball Wild Card

Wild Card Records
Please fix chart "Combined division-series, LCS, and World Series record as wild-card winners". I don't understand what the records mean. For Boston (6-6) for example, does that mean they won 6 games as a wild card entrant and lost 6? They've been wild card entrants 7 times. I'm confused. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.172.59.95 (talk) 08:48, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

I agree with the above. That chart is meaningless crap without some sort of explanation. For instance, "Series Record" for the Mets is 3-3. What series? The Mets haven't been Wild Cards 6 times and they are 2-3 in World Series having won in 1969 and 1986, but losing in 1973, 2000, and 2015. So, where does this 3-3 come from? 192.249.47.181 (talk) 11:49, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

I tried to make an edit here, adding Cleveland s loss last night to tampa bay. I came out looking weird so I took it down. at the same time, it appeared that wiki sent me some sort of computer generated message on the nature of my edit--a message that was totally incomprehensible as though it was written in some computer code. I just find the whole wiki experience so overwhelming that I am discouraged from trying to make a contribution. here, obviously someone should update this page (although I see that wiki has other related pages which reflect the results of the Cleveland-tampa game). I wish there were a help line or some way for someone who is knowledgeable to walk me through things. again, I would like to contribute but the time I would have to spend to get up to speed on how to seems to be very daunting. if anyone wants to contact me on the phone, my name is mike and my phone is 516 506 8841. thanks 11:47, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

What happens?
Question: what happens with the team that wins? i.e. can St. Pete play the Yankees? There are four teams that go on for the league championship, how is the first round decided? 151.200.179.128 (talk) 04:56, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Classification of the Play-In Game
I still haven't read anything about how the initial Wild Card vs Wild Card matchup will be classified re the statistics. Will this be a 163rd regular-season game, or a new "tier" of the "postseason"? WHPratt (talk) 13:19, 26 September 2012 (UTC) It appears that it's definitely not a 163rd game, but rather a new (lower) level of the playoffs. WHPratt (talk) 14:11, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Should be re-named Wild Card (baseball)
As we've got World Series, League Championship Series & Division Series? This page should be renamed Wild Card (baseball). GoodDay (talk) 15:40, 3 September 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm putting forward a proposal to merge this page, making the renaming moot. See discussion at Talk:Wild card (sports) 162 etc. (talk) 20:45, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
