The 2021 rotation has been even better and the offense has done enough to keep the club ahead of the Padres and Dodgers in the National League West, but bullpen woes have cost the Giants a chance to build up a sizable cushion in a division that promises to be one of the most competitive in the majors this year.Īside from calling on different personnel from the minor leagues, Kapler believes there’s one adjustment the Giants can make that will give their bullpen a chance to be more successful: Throwing more strikes. The 2016 Giants raced out to an impressive start thanks to excellent starting pitching and timely hitting, but the club faltered during the second half of the season due to bullpen issues and set a franchise record for blown saves.
