Hi r/baseball! On what is potentially the Eve of the Fadening (or whatever name people come up with this year), we've decided to implement a new rule to help make things a little less confusing.

The rule is: Elimination posts can only be made after a team's"Magic Number" hits zero. Any other posts about a team being unable to make the Postseason will be removed and should be posted in the Around the Horn daily post.

The following types of posts are the only ones that will be allowed going forward (regarding elimination/clinching news):

• Elimination from playoff contention by "magic number"
• Clinching a playoff spot
• Clinching the First Wild Card
• Clinching a division

We hope this rule will make it easier for people to prepare for and anticipate eliminations, and reduce "false positives" like last night with the Twins.

Have a great Labor Day (and for the Canadians and others out there, a great Monday), and Let's Go Mets.
