Maybe he needs some handwashing tips from Edwin Diaz?

I have no earthly idea what has got Camilo throwing meatballs so consistently but it's maddening. Had to watch him give up a 3-run lead in the 9th at Citi Field earlier this year while wearing a Giants jersey (Will Clark '89 BP throwback from Mitchell & Ness 👍)

I got pretty mercilessly mocked by the Flushing faithful for that.

Surprised you didn’t at least mention the comments made by the normally cheery and glass half full Mike Krukow re: Doval on the KNBR morning show recently. He went so far as to suggest a trip back to Sacramento might be in order for Camilo.

I think Sacramento might be a bit much, but demoting him to middle relief to figure it out and making Ryan Walker the closer might be warranted. I worry that in AAA, he wouldn't be facing hitters who are good enough to crush 99 MPH mistakes. That might be something that happens only in the majors, so his improvement would have to come in the majors.

So he suggested Camilo hit El Camino?

I regret nothing!!

Good one, Maestro.

The Internet Cowboys are all saying he's 'thrown his last pitch' for los G's. But, given the numbers you've highlighted - who would want him?

[Rhetorical question.]

I mean, he still has really good stuff. You don't give up on a guy the first time he stumbles. That's just silly.

Good point. I just wish he'd learn to cover 1B.
