On the SF Giants podcast with Morris:

#1 Morris, talk about the struggles that Giants reliever Camilo Doval had as Doval was demoted on Friday night to triple A Sacramento.

#2 Doval as opposed to his All Star season he had in 2023 in 46 relief appearances had cooled off with a raised ERA and career worst 4.70.

#3 Asked about what is expected from Doval for his path to get back the show Giants manager Bob Melvin said, “When you’re a guy like him, you don’t expect to hear that, so he’s processing it right now and hopefully he takes it the right way and gets back here and does the role that he’s done in the past very successfully,”

#4 Doval has 22 saves in 27 opportunities what Melvin and the Giants are looking at he’s allowed 42 hits and of the 25 runs he’s surrendered 23 which were earned runs. Do you see this demotion an effort to try and settle him down?

#5 You saw him throw the ice chest in the dugout after being lifted on Sun Jun 16th, he was no doubt frustrated and even after that incident he still couldn’t get tracked. What are some of the things that he needs to work on in Sacramento.

#6 Morris, talk about reliever Ryan Walker and his role as the closer now. Walker as of Saturday is 7-3, ERA 2.24 and is expected to do some impressive work in the closing role.
