ChiefsPlanet - Royals *** Official 2016 Royals Repository, Version 1 ***

I checked MLB, and they do have a procedure for a 4-way tie for the last WC spot, but none listed for 5 or 6 teams.

For 4 teams, they basically split the teams in pairs with the winners advancing to play the other winner.
For 5 or 6, I imagine the top 1 or 2 teams by tiebreaker formula would get a bye and play the prior winners, then those winners play each other.
No matter what, it would be a fun bunch of cluster**** chaos.

Couldn't help myself and I looked at the schedules...not only do we need to win 5 and need Baltimore to lose 5,
Detroit can only win at most 1 of 5 ( 2 vs cle, 3 vs atl)
Sea can only win at most 2 of 5 (vs hou and 4 vs As)
Hou can only win at most 2 of 4 (vs sea and 3 vs LAA)
Sea or Hou is guaranteed 1 win since they play each other
NYY has to first lose at least 1 of 2 games vs. bos, then win their 3 vs Balt.

And if all that happens, KC would tie Balt for the #2 wildcard.
If some other stuff happens, there could be a be a 3, 4, 5 or 6-way tie for the final wildcard at 85 wins. LMAO

With or without KC, it seems a multiple-way tie for #2 WC is very possible.

Regardless of KC's involvement... the butthurt over the necessity to have a wild card game to determine a wild card berth would fuel much discussion.

This team has given us so much since that failed run at the end of 2013. 2014 was amazing, and then last year we won it all. This year has been a bit of a disappointment, but only because our expectations have been raised. Basically, we have expectations now. Its frustrating knowing that we're probably in this thing if we don't get hit with injuries like we did and soria shitting the bed, but at least I can save some money on post season tickets and gear this year...

Go Royals!!!! 2017 is right around the corner.

THAT would be epic. I'm in!

One game playoff to knock Baltimore out would be glorious.

If there is a 3 or 4-way tie, there would have to be 2 rounds to get the wild card representative (team 1 vs 2 & team 3 vs 4, then the winners play each other to determine the #2 WC team).

Adding that 2nd wild card obviously keeps more teams contending deep into the season, but they have been lucky there haven't been more tie situations.

The 2014 wild card game is obviously an amazing part of Royals history, but I still hate the idea of a 1-game playoff "round" for baseball.

Zero sympathy.

You have 162 games to put you ahead of the four other teams in your division.

Don't want to have your season come down to a 1 game playoff? Win your damn division.

Manfred would lose his ****ing mind.

How are you going to wedge a five game runoff in the gap between Game 162 and the scheduled WC matchup?

Would any of those five games even be televised?

I don't know what sympathy has to do with it.
I just don't think a 1-game playoff round makes sense for baseball.

They would surely be on TV, but it would severely **** up the schedule.

Season ends Sun. AL wildcard is Tues. ALDS starts Thu.
But a 3 or 4 team tie would take 2 days to sort out. WC game would be pushed back to Wed.
5 or 6 team tie would require pushing everything back. It would **** up TV schedules which are set up so AL and NL aren't on at the same time.
The chaos would be pretty cool.

So tonight we need....

Royals win
Baltimore loss
Cleveland win
Houston or Seattle win
Boston win

Right?
