In 2016 the San Francisco Giants had the most blown saves as a team in all of baseball with 30, and they had the fifth worst save percentage at 58.9 percent.
The bullpen was not horrible for the Giants last year as they finished 15th in the league with an ERA of 3.65 in 478 innings. That was the fifth fewest innings thrown by a bullpen last year, which means our starters often went deep into games.
They also were ranked 12th in the league in batting average against at .240, which makes it even more perplexing that they weren’t able to hold leads late in games.
