Although the Giants pitching, particularly the bullpen, failed at critical times, overall the pitching was better than the hitting. Once again the Giants proved the saying, you can never have too much pitching, as depth became a problem as the season progressed due to injuries and trades.

Takeaways: 1. Giants pitchers did three things really well: kept the ball on the ground, did not allow home runs, limited hard contact. 2. While it sure seemed like to a lot of fans, including me, that the season was lost due to blown saves, they were actually had the third lowest Blown Saves in MLB. The problem was they were not presented with enough Save Opportunities, mainly due to their poor hitting(This does not mean Blown Saves were not a problem nor that Ryan Walker should be the Closer next season).
