With six weeks remaining in the regular season, the Baltimore Orioles have a sub-.500 record and are hovering near last place in the American League East, but they somehow find themselves in contention for a playoff spot.
An implausible scenario that has Orioles fans in Maryland cautiously optimistic.
"I think it’s crazy," said Sheivon, of Clarksville, at Camden Yards. "We’re still in the hunt. It’s awesome. I’m excited."
Entering Tuesday night’s home game with the division rival New York Yankees, the O’s were tied with Texas and Detroit for the third and final AL wild card spot.
