Walkington Castillo.

 

He seems to have been putting together a lot of good at bats lately.

[TruffleShuffle]

gah, that was a chance to break it open... 2-0 count with bases loaded against a pitcher struggling with his command.

[Guest]

Great hustle by Ransom there.

[Illini Iceman]

We really need to get rid of Barney.
