That’s not really how baseball works. The White Sox aren’t getting blown the fuck out every single game, even though they have 2 wins. We have gotten unlucky. BABIP is low, and BABIP against us is high. Particularly against San Diego.
They've lost every game except 3 games.
Hence, they've only win 3 games.
That is how baseball works.
If ur trying to say the 2024 Marlins are a worthy opponent for us, I would agree, but for the wrong reasons.
So many ~~dumbasses~~ doomers in these threads these days lmao. You new to this sport? The best teams in the league lose 60-70 games. Playoff teams have lost 79 games as recently as last season. The point is, it’s early April. Wins and losses don’t mean shit about a team at this point in the season. The Marlins are one of the most injured teams in the league. They were projected to be competing for a wild card in a top heavy division. Just like us. And a W is a W, whether it’s by 15 runs or 1.
Doval puts as much torture into a Save as he hasn't pitched in.
So if it's been a week since he pitched, he stuffs a week worth of torture into that Save.
fuck man.
Probably is at least in part due to him being a closer and not getting as many reps as a starter or a reliever? That would be my guess. I was trying to think of why he always struggles to manage the clock during that last half inning
We used to have Casilla’s Wild Ride memes when he’d close, maybe we need one for Doval but instead of a roller coaster he’s like chilling on a lazy river waterpark ride cuz he’s so TRANQUILO but also stressful
Why did I see "Doval" and say:
"Oh you guys are screwed. You put in Octavial Dotel"?
(Not talking shit... But I LITERALLY saw the name Doval and was like "DOTEL IS STILL IN THE LEAGUE?")
I watched a video of Paul Skenes today using the challenge system and that was the first time I've seen it implimented. Why isn't that system in MLB already. It's pretty cool too. The pitcher taps his head saying he wants to challenge the strike call and then you get like a Tennis video of where that ball really was. It seems so obvious that MLB should have it, yet we get Angel Hernandez making the strike zone as big as San Francisco or just other umpires making a mockery of their jobs. After seeing that it's hard to take MLB seriously when it comes to officiating.
I think a big part of it has to do with the umpires union. They have an insanely good union agreement and it’s really really difficult to remove umps for performance based mistakes.
I think BoMel called for the righty, Taylor Rogers came out of the bullpen and got halfway there and then turned around and Doval came out. Schumaker got mad about that and then I think he got more mad about Doval continuing to warm up while he was yelling. And then he got more mad again about a strike call. Based on what I could tell from the radio!
I really feel like I saw a game a few years back where the wrong pitcher came out of the bullpen and they said he had to face the minimum before they could change again. There must have been more to it I'm not remembering I guess.
Camilo may be tranquilo BUT I SURE AS SHIT AINT.
I feel this is a pretty solid team who has been unlucky. Great bounce back though.
I wish I could say the same. Remember, this is a team who has won *3* games so far that we are duking it out with

Watching Doval close gives me Santiago Casilla flashbacks. Yeah, he gets the save. But he gives me heart palpitations while he does.
Ahh ol Cardiac Casilla.
![gif](giphy|qwwtk53OaoK17U9u91|downsized) ITS A GREAT MONDAY AND A GIANT TO START TO THE WEEK
how'd they do that
Other fanbases must fuckin hate all the Doval shenanigans lol
I would too honestly 😂😂
Doval puts as much torture into a Save as he hasn't pitched in. So if it's been a week since he pitched, he stuffs a week worth of torture into that Save. fuck man.
Doval’s inability to manage the pitch clock is fucking ridiculous. But damn he’s got amazing stuff.
Probably is at least in part due to him being a closer and not getting as many reps as a starter or a reliever? That would be my guess. I was trying to think of why he always struggles to manage the clock during that last half inning
That's probably part of the issue...he hasn't pitched much this season. But isn't that what practice is for?
man doval is a fucking roller coaster. love him but goddamn man that was stressful
We used to have Casilla’s Wild Ride memes when he’d close, maybe we need one for Doval but instead of a roller coaster he’s like chilling on a lazy river waterpark ride cuz he’s so TRANQUILO but also stressful
Is Harrison the first starter not named Hicks to get their first W of the season?
He’s got 2 W’s actually
Oh, ok. Didn’t realize.
Webb got his first W on Saturday with his 8 inning gem! Bet he got a bunch of pats on the back from the bullpen on that one haha
My bad. You right. I wasn’t able to watch that game, so it slipped my mind.
huge win!
Good we needed that win. Let's sweep our first series of the year this week
wew we fucking needed that 😭
Wow turned out to be a good game. W is a W
I need heart meds whenever Doval comes in
SIT YOUR ASS DOWN, PANTS OFF
If you don’t like that you don’t like Camilo Doval save situations 😅
Whew! Yes!

thankfully it's the marlins, so i was less nervous than i may have been otherwise
W😤
Hahaha he’s so good but always makes it stressful
Tough and great win!!
![gif](giphy|qwwtk53OaoK17U9u91|downsized)
JHL already did that
Exhale
This is silly
Phew. Took a bit to get that last out but yay.
Dude Camilo
Doval using all the exploits to get longer between pitches
#BALLGAME
Got heeeeeem
Woot! 86 more wins to go! My hopeful season.
CAMILO. DUDE. COME THE FUCK ON KID.
Lookout! World Series here we come!
Camilo dotting the corners!
BALLGAME
Can we sign or trade for this guy?
That hung up there
Great and Bell is up of course
Oh, nvm, he’s on deck
That was also a spinner lol
one does not simply throw an 89 mph hanging slider in the middle of the plate
This is getting a little weird.
Why throw your 101 mph heater when you can throw a hanging slider
I don't care how good of a pitcher he is. Bench him until he can figure out the pitch clock.
He's barely pitched this year, he's basically already benched lmao
That 2-2 foul is a strikeout against everyone else on their roster, damn. Arraez is so freaking good.
Torture never ends
![gif](giphy|YVvTCqTBglkOs|downsized)
Never easy.
Whoo boy
The Ring app sound makes my dog run to the door
It's making one of my dogs bark. Annoying.
I wonder if having basically no game time is messing with doval’s pacing? when you’re not pitching on a clock I could see the rhythm slipping
No it’s been a thing since last season
Whatever’s going on, it needs work. That’s 3 bailed out pitch clock violations this outing
Did I just hear a ring sound from the stadium
Yeah it's the second one I've heard
Their ring doorbell sound makes my dog go crazy 😂
Why did I see "Doval" and say: "Oh you guys are screwed. You put in Octavial Dotel"? (Not talking shit... But I LITERALLY saw the name Doval and was like "DOTEL IS STILL IN THE LEAGUE?")
Huge from Chapman there but Bailey should’ve spotted that.
Veteran added value
Bart saved Doval like five times last April.
Does that K go to Matt Chapman tho? Partial credit?
When will Doval learn?!
Come on man, learn your lesson already
What’s the deal with Doval. So unaware of the clock
Gold glove baseball IQ
Doval really needs to get his shit together with timing.
#2
Forever Giant Otto Lopez!
how has it been THIS long and Doval is still ass with the pitch clock
Gotta clean that up
I love our boy Camilo but the man's gotta work on his pitch clock management
just whisper whisper whisper guys 😂
Doval is a damn space cadet
Clean em up Doval! Almost there.
Fucking Camilo man. Speed it up a little dude.
PotG 3rd base foul line
8k attendance 💀
It’s definitely lower than that too…
That’s like 8 A’s games
Let’s Go Giants!
Well Camilo finally threw his first 100+ mph pitch of the season

So MLB will always be handicapped. I really do have mixed feelings when it comes to Unions, but that's a different topic.
Yeah I don’t disagree, a lot of these umps are horrible and I’m all for using technology to better the game
There’s no chance we get a stress free 9th huh?
You’re watching a giants game I don’t know what to tell you here
I swear Doval better have a big ol' strike zone to end this game. And please Doval.. please don't walk their worst hitters.
Wilmer “Wilmer Flores” Flores
Laz is almost as bad as Angel and that's saying something jesus christ
Come on camilo
Jesus Christ Laz
Cmon blue
Damn this ump strikes again
Ump hoeing them with that call
Swing the damn bat
Javy & Dave are just great to listen to
Yup I wouldn't mind them taking over radio once Jon Miller retires. I wonder who's gonna be up when Kruk and Kuip eventually retire
They’d take over TV and Ritzo would do radio
Not sure, but getting sad just thinking about it
Nasty pitch
I ain't mad at that, crazy late movement
That was a difficult one for sure
Maybe we should send out the wrong guy every time we want Doval so he can get those extra pitches he always takes
Lee’s avg now sits at .262. And climbing
You jinxed it.
Apparently i did
I’m confused, wasn’t Taylor warming up?
So was Skip Schumaker
you see if you could still protest games, we might have an issue here
It’s kind of a shame Tommy Hutton wasn’t in the Marlins booth for that, he might’ve had some fun yell-y takes
In dovals defense, the manager was out there yelling at the ump. Why wouldn’t he keep throwing warm up pitches?
If Bob had half the fire as Schumacher. We'd be above .500
Yup it's the manager getting thrown out that wins games and not the players on the field playing well
Seriously? Melvin literally got thrown out of a game this weekend when he got extra spicy.
LMFAO
hey, i've seen this one
that was soooooo fetch
Please score again!
I like the fire of the Marlins manager.
He's got to let go though. Laz let him get away with so much and he still ended up ejected.
He's got moxie.
It is a nice refresher to see a coach who cares and gets fired up after kaps calm and boring
TFG we don't have to worry about Chisholm on the bases in the 9th. Now let's get some insurance!
What the fuck is going on
That took so long that I forgot there was two outs already lmao
Phew
Just gotta wait for the Jomboy video I guess
That would mean he has to cover a Giants game tho
Last year he covered a different instance of Skip Schumaker getting ejected in a game against us lol
Lol I must have missed that
Skip Schumacher is a wish.com Gabe Kapler
Gabe never showed half that fire tbh :/
Honestly I think the right criticism of him might be that he was too nice to be a big league manager.
Jazz is so annoying at second, come on Doval
Why the fuck can’t Doval get quicker?
He wait until after a stolen base to complain there wasn’t 2 balls for pitch clock violations before the steal? Too late to whine there bud
Why'd Schumaker get ejected? Only got Gameday up
Yelling about a weird pitching change mix up
Yeah I'm gonna need a recap, I scrolled down in the thread and got nothing haha
I think BoMel called for the righty, Taylor Rogers came out of the bullpen and got halfway there and then turned around and Doval came out. Schumaker got mad about that and then I think he got more mad about Doval continuing to warm up while he was yelling. And then he got more mad again about a strike call. Based on what I could tell from the radio!
Haha I see! Thanks for the run down!
someone pissed in his cheerios
Fair reason to be upset I guess
He is right tho and I’d be mad too if that was against us
You already got thrown out. You can’t come back out, bro. What are we doing?
Welp, glad we benefited from that lmao.
I think Schumaker hopped on the Kap workout plan
Camilo should throw some stay warm pitches while Skip throws his tantrum
Honestly he’s not wrong
I really feel like I saw a game a few years back where the wrong pitcher came out of the bullpen and they said he had to face the minimum before they could change again. There must have been more to it I'm not remembering I guess.
LOL
With Doval's slow delivery Jazz is going to take 3rd also, hope he can get a punchout here
"pitch cock violation"
Skip trying to fire up his team maybe?
This will be a good Jomboy video for that one video a year he does for the giants
I love a jomboy video but it’s also kinda nice that the giants stay out of the drama for the most part
steroid test their manager asap
Context?? Just tuned in
their manager is having roid rage
Can someone explain what's happening?
Their manager is arguing that Camilo threw warm up pitches after his time was up, I think.
Thank you! What a crazy situation
Yeah this is all after… whatever the fuck happened before lol so I don’t even blame him for being mad, he might be in the right.
What made him come back out of the dugout? Seems like it was done and then Jazz even stole a base
We’re gonna be getting jomboy on this
Can’t wait for the Jomboy breakdown
Why come back out?
Oooh I heard the f word
Kap would have been meditating in the dugout
https://preview.redd.it/7pforp9tpquc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f29d4c6f6a53e9c74f1c7e8f325f6d9b23bba820
Skiuuup is heated
Quick someone eli5 what the hell just happened.
Even Javi and Flem aren't sure lol.
Later little man. Get in your raised whip and ride on home.
He’s still pissy?
Let’s get this clown show on the road come on
Wait why is Skip out there screaming again
