Five NL wild-card questions

— -- The last time the San Francisco Giants played the Pittsburgh Pirates in the postseason was 1971. Willie Mays and Roberto Clemente were active, as were Willie McCovey and Willie Stargell.

There is star power this year with these two teams, maybe not like in 1971, but that was a five-game series. This is a one-game series, the National League wild-card game.

And it should be wild.

Here are five questions.

What will PNC Park be like on Wednesday night?

Will the crowd shake Giants starter Madison Bumgarner?

What should be expected from Pirates starter Edinson Volquez?

What sort of role will the catchers play in this game?

How much have injuries changed the look of the Giants?

The pick: Pirates
