Orioles set roster for Wild Card game

The Wild Card game is a different animal from the regular season because teams can set a 25-man roster for just this one game. The Orioles roster, announced on Tuesday morning, makes use of the fact that it’s just a one-game roster with ten pitchers, two catchers, seven infielders, and six outfielders.

It’s hardly the most important thing about the roster, but the thing that stood out to me the most on seeing it is that both Nolan Reimold and Drew Stubbs made the cut. They are, if nothing else, right-handed bats on the bench, and probably better late-inning defensive options than Hyun Soo Kim.
