Ryan Walker Is Costing the Giants Games

The SF Giants are 14-23 and officially in crisis mode — and the Morning Roast is not holding back. The hosts break down a brutal loss to the Padres, call out Ryan Walker's mop-up disaster in the seventh inning, and ask the question nobody wants to say out loud: is it time to DFA him entirely? From a lineup that struck out 13 times with zero walks, to Matt Chapman sitting in a cold slump while Casey Schmidt keeps raking, there's a lot going wrong in San Francisco right now. The guys also dig into how the Giants front office may have mishandled the Walker-Doval closer situation last year — and whether that set Ryan Walker up to fail from the jump. And just to put it in perspective: the last time the Giants started this badly was 1985. This isn't a slow start. This is a dumpster fire.
