Very exciting pennant race.  Anyone following? 
More specifically, wild card race. Though the whole things feels so strange now with the wild card play-in game. It really downgrades the achievement of the first wild card team. They can be miles better than the second wild card, but anyone can win one game.

They're a wild card team. Why should they be rewarded. What achievement is being downgraded?  If you remember fifteen years ago there was no wild card

You can have the 2nd best record in all of baseball and still be the 1st wild card. While that situation had always somewhat unfair in that such a wild card never had home field advantage and had to play the best team (unless they were in the same division), at least that team had a 5 game series in which you can shrug off one bad game. It's true that the 2nd best team in baseball could have missed the playoffs entirely if they didn't win their division before they added the wild card, but that's why the original wild card was actually a good idea, if not necessarily implemented as well as it could have been.

Still reading through this Wiki page, but already I found this gem:

...two teams tied for a division championship must play a tie breaking game even if both teams have already qualified for the postseason.

Anyone know if you can show up to the stadium with your Stubhub tickets on your phone without printing them out?

No, though I believe that Stubhub moved last week to a location right across the street from the stadium

FYI seemed like you need to print them, no one was scanning their phone.
