The SF Giants are officially eliminated from the playoffs. There are many reasons for this, but the back end of the bullpen is certainly one of them. The Giants have a very clear area of need at closer that they must to address in the offseason.
It was fitting in many ways that San Francisco's season was ultimately sunk thanks to a blown save from Ryan Walker on Tuesday night as the team lost to the St. Louis Cardinals. Walker has been struggling as of late so it seemed only right that he was the one to cough it up ultimately.
