What's going on with Walker? Are they just shelving him for the year now?

[Guest]

Albert Almora is getting some BP at Wrigley today and hit two out.

 

Jorge Soler gets his turn tomorrow.

[Jake]

What's going on with Walker? Are they just shelving him for the year now?

Available for pinch hitting today.

[Careless]

Wow, I just realized the Pirates will only be one game over .500 after today.

[tfarks]

Castro with the 3-run shot :D

[sneakypower]

Castro with the quick hands turning on the inside pitch

[UMFan83]

It'd be really nice if Castro could finish with at least 15 this year and improve to 20 next year.

[bcl412]

I don't think the Pirates are finishing above .500
