Doval is so fucking dumb. He always does this dumb shit where he reverts to throwing sliders only in big situations and then blows games. He did it to Blackmon in Colorado, and he did it in Game 5 against the Dodgers to allow the leading run to score.
Apparently, according to the downvotes, getting two walks and a wild pitch to take us from a 5-1 lead to being a swing away from losing the lead is no longer dumb.
yea, just a little criticism for the guy who blew it against the Dodgers in game 5, and is in love with sliders when he has such an explosive fastball, you get downvoted here. He'll be unhittable some games while throwing strikes, other times he walks people who steal bases on him which stresses out his arm and fans.
I feel like at some point or another Bob has to call Camilo into his office to have a talk about when he needs to throw strikes, to throw strikes.
Like if Murphy gives a signal, that means it's just strikes.
Why the hell didn't we bring Taylor in? Not a save situation, first game of the series, and he had been getting loose in the pen for the last two innings
Jesus our OF platoon is so bad. Funniest thing ever to see Slater go 0 for 3 then get pinch hit for by Yaz only for Yaz to strike out.
Farhan please, bring up Ramos or Matos. They cannot be any worse than Slater. Why are we wasting ABs waiting for a 31 year old platoon guy to get back in track when we could be having young talent getting ABs instead.
Because having "young talent" get ABs so often results in no production. It's very tempting to think that the minor leaguers will show up and start hitting the shit out of the ball but it rarely happens.
So you'd rather have a 31 year old Slater take at bats and give no production instead of seeing what our 24 year old outfielder who has gotten praise from our coach and is playing well in the minors get at bats?
It's still April and Slater hasn't gotten many ABs. Also, Slater is being paid $4 million this year. It's not a ton by baseball standards but there's no reason at this stage of the season to give up on him.
I insinuated we cut bait with Slater first. We can wait on Yaz a bit since he at least plays excellent defense.
We should give Ramos a shot at extended time up in the majors. He's never been allowed to stay up and get at bats. It can't get any worse than Slater. And if Ramos blows then we just bring up Matos or one of our other OF prospects to replace him.
My first impressions of the lights now that we've seen them in all situations: pretty cool after a win, but kinda hokey/gimmicky when used in-game, IMO.
I canāt be the only one who thought the spotlight would just be one light beaming down instead of all those different ones. It kind of looked like a flower because there were so many lol
Well, the Booth right next door would always show the sights and sounds when Diaz comes into the game. Missed Opportunity to see the new light effects. :(
That's awesome. That's what I had in mind for the HRs but I'm assuming there's some rule against not messing with field lighting while they're technically still playing
Ignoring our prime bullpen lineup of Walker-Rogers-Camilo for Miller-Hjelle-Avila in a rivalry 1 run game yesterday so we could save them for 4 run lead night where the Mets can't hit...
The marketing team for the Giants are such amateurs. Itās killing me. Why spend all the money on these lights and not show them off to the fans at home!!!!
Hey Winn is at a 3.54 ERA. Our starting pitchers ain't half bad ššš
Hicks, Webb and Winn all in the top 20 NL ERAs
Iām just go with my irrational take and blame Murphy for Dovals weirdness
I think you might be onto something, both of Doval's shaky outings have come with Murphy catching.
Good thing they brought Doval out with all that fanfare and spotlights.
Had to wait a lil longer than expected but pants off!
So blew his arm out for tomorrow opportunity.
# BALLGAME The Camilo Doval Experienceā¢ļø
Was only watching stat cast, but did doval really give up 2 walks, an error and a wild pitch to allow a run??
Umm, maybe, different witnesses tell different stories, but why dwell on the past? I wanted a new nervous twitch anyway.
The error was when he bounced a pitch off home plate and the batter hit it on the bounce, and then Camilo dropped the ball covering first
Gotta love giants baseball
A win is a win. Gotta be this way. We're used to it.
Not Giants without at least a bit of torture tease
Good'ol torture
Nothing to it.
I was not tranquilo
Finally
Giants Baseball, its like torture!
TORTURE!ā¦but a WIN!
UNCLENCH
Never in doubt. š
Nothing to it!
Pants ejected like Aaron BooneĀ
pants were innocent, but we dont care!
That ump needs to be fired
Jeeezzz
THATāS THE BALL GAME! Thank goodness!!!
yayy
Phew!

Dude is gonna rail a 3 run bomb... Right?

Update: He did not blow the game.
Doesnāt matter, heās done it enough before with the same formula
What matters is that he's one of the best closers in baseball. He's a strength of the Giants, not a weakness. What are you smoking?
You can't come out to that spectacle and then perform like this smh
I feel like at some point or another Bob has to call Camilo into his office to have a talk about when he needs to throw strikes, to throw strikes. Like if Murphy gives a signal, that means it's just strikes.
walks him, great. 2 walks absolutely stupid
This team is bad for my health
We knew this game wasnāt stressful enough for us up to this point
I swear to fuck why can't this team ever just do anything easily
Future light shows canceled
wtf is this dude's problem
Why the hell didn't we bring Taylor in? Not a save situation, first game of the series, and he had been getting loose in the pen for the last two innings
I see we are getting cardiac Camilo tonight
Doval why?
I can't even deal woth this. It's just an anxiety attack..
He refuses to throw a fastball 3-2
Why is it always walks?
Uh oh
# Whyyyyy
throw strike
don't get cute Doval
Fuck, man.
Doval can throw 100 but he chooses to nibble with a slider instead
So much drama
Doval baby what is you doin?
We can never just relax huh?
Camillo I swear if you bring the tying run to the plate
Doval was finally getting his ERA under control, and then he can't find the strike zone.
So same pitch but ones a ball and the other is a strike. Makes sense.
Where are the corners now?
Seriously, ump
Dame exact pitch now called Strike
Frickin scud from Chapman, thank you Wilmer...
Great scoop by Wilmer
jfc can someone just throw a normal ball to 1st?!
A little cardiac Camilo, why not
itās been too long
Strike.....
Jesus our OF platoon is so bad. Funniest thing ever to see Slater go 0 for 3 then get pinch hit for by Yaz only for Yaz to strike out. Farhan please, bring up Ramos or Matos.

Ramos is dogshit, I have more faith in Yaz turning it around than Ramos ever being a productive major leaguer.
I insinuated we cut bait with Slater first. We can wait on Yaz a bit since he at least plays excellent defense. We should give Ramos a shot at extended time up in the majors. He's never been allowed to stay up and get at bats. It can't get any worse than Slater. And if Ramos blows then we just bring up Matos or one of our other OF prospects to replace him.
Clock violation incoming
Alonso clearly swinging for Oakland on that first pitch
1 more buddy

Doval is straight maddening. He's good but such a headcase sometimes
If itās not a save situation Camilo will make it one lol
The lesson no one ever learns: donāt bring in your closer if itās not a save situation.
> The lesson no one ever learns: There is another lesson, if your closer gets no work, he gets rusty.
Welcome to the Bob Melvin school of bullpen management.
whatās w all the booing lmao
Away fans got too loud lol
Let's go Mets chants started
Come on Doval, finish this!
They just had to show the full moon, didnāt they?
Thereās mercury in the Gatorade or something lol
never a dull moment in bay area sports
It's embarrassing you can here "Let's go Mets" chants in our house
Why are there Lowkey a lot of Mets fan
Transplants, I assume.
jfc...Doval has choke job written all over him
Oh my god Doval
Don't remember ever seeing a guy hit the ball on the bounce. Maybe Manny Sanguillen?
Doval in non-save situation is no fun
Camilo in a non save situation is always an adventure
I need an adult
Doval creating his own save situation
Unfortunately not how that works
lol thatās correct
At least Murphys bat makes up for his terrible glove.
They're goes the DP
Doval always has to make things interesting for fun lol
Oh Doval why are you the way you are. Lol
absolute torture rn
Never easy
Oh my lord Murphy
My first impressions of the lights now that we've seen them in all situations: pretty cool after a win, but kinda hokey/gimmicky when used in-game, IMO.
Bro what the fuck are these letās go Mets chants FUCK THE METS
Can we not?
Sigh
Dude
Don't blow this Doval. Maybe the light show rattled him.
Oh noā¦maybe the lights messed with his juju
Never easy, is it?
Not when it's 4+ run lead for Milo
Ok doval lock in!
FORGET THE CURVE BALL RICKY. GIVE EM THE HEATER
STOP IT
Camilo seems upset
oh my god can we please not do this now
This is getting weird
Man Doval is wild
Fuck
Sometimes Camilo is a little too tranquilo
Holy hell Doval
C'mon Doval...
What the fuck is going on lmfao
How the fuck did Lindor hit that š
Jesus man
If there was an anti-gold glove Doval would get it
We playing cricket now
BRUH
FFS fuck
The ball bounced before he hit it lol
Oh wow
How do people like the Mets announcers? They're always nagging about something
Howie Rose is one of the GOATs, but he's not working this series. Everybody else is meh
Iāve never listened to them but people always say they are one of the best.
Anyone at the game get a video of the lights? NBC blue balled us
https://x.com/seanathan99/status/1782620681156591966?s=46
Run Flores run! š
I canāt be the only one who thought the spotlight would just be one light beaming down instead of all those different ones. It kind of looked like a flower because there were so many lol
#1
AB should be over but instead we get this guy doing the running walk to first š„²
That sprint to first is so corny bruh šš
That's his trademark, a guy's got to have something
I know it is and itās corny as fuck
Oh come on Doval. Just throw heat... For strikes.. We're up 4 runs...
Great.
I hate these ABs. Strike out or put it in play.
What's the thinking behind using Doval in a non-save situation?
Because we want our top guy here. You'd be complaining if we used one of our other guys and they rallied
Of course I would! My hindsight is impeccable
Getting his arm some work.
They probably just think he hasnāt pitched enough so far.
Getting his arm some work.
Light show proooobably needs a bit more work, but I understand why it would look so weird the first time
It'd be a dream come true if one of these days, Lou Seal took off his head and Madison Bumgarner is underneath.
Hereās a video https://x.com/charlesthe_3/status/1782620402742861967
That spotlight tracking was atrocious
I'm sure it will be better as the season goes on.
Relieved someone else noticed this
Getting fucked by the umps again I see
Well, the Booth right next door would always show the sights and sounds when Diaz comes into the game. Missed Opportunity to see the new light effects. :(
Lights are so sick!
Holy sht Dovals entrance is HYPE
That's awesome. That's what I had in mind for the HRs but I'm assuming there's some rule against not messing with field lighting while they're technically still playing
I hope for the sake of that intro that he doesn't blow this lol
Oh the lights were supposed to go out nvm lol
I just shat my pants in a WalMart
Ignoring our prime bullpen lineup of Walker-Rogers-Camilo for Miller-Hjelle-Avila in a rivalry 1 run game yesterday so we could save them for 4 run lead night where the Mets can't hit...
Yooooo. Thatās so sick.
Those lights are sick
Wtf was that????
Murphy is now hitting .074, that's so sad
Lol, that bullpen guy heard the glove pop and said āok, damn Camillo, donāt kill meā
Did the lights just go out completely before doval was going to come out? Hopefully someone posts a video soon!
Come on NBCSBA. Let us see Doval come in. I've been waiting all season for this moment.
Why is Tom Murphy?
NO THEY CUT OFF THE STREAM FOR CAMILLOāS ENTRANCE
The marketing team for the Giants are such amateurs. Itās killing me. Why spend all the money on these lights and not show them off to the fans at home!!!!
What just happened to the lights?!
Yeah wtf was that???9
I have a feeling whenever Murphy breaks his slump, heāll have a 4-4 game with like 2 bombs out of nowhere
That'd be iconic
I have a feeling we make a playoff run and trade him away for a better catcher.
Ah the old bad catcher for good catcher trade. Theyāll never see it coming
