Ruh roh Chafin’

I'd be shocked if this Garver at-bat doesn't end up in a walk or extra base hit. Garver absolutely kills LHP.

Chafin can only face the mandatory 3. The moment he gives up a hit or walk, get Devin or Joel warming up

Chafin warming up.  Holy crap, it just can't be easy.  No way in hell I pitch this guy even with a 5 run lead.  He better have a REALLY short leash.

C'mon now...it's not like CC is throwing Alex Claudio out there.  Chafin is a very successful vet and the Brewers are up by 5.

I like your reasoning with the off days next week.  But I wouldn't have a problem with DWill just warming up and getting loose "just in case" and making sure he is available both weekend days.

Part of my logic is that with almost a whole week off he could be coming into a close game and be rusty.

I’m a little nervous 

[BruisedCrew]

Just what you want to see. Leadoff walk 

[Brewcrew82]

Of course. Way to start the inning.

[TURBO]

...and here we go.

[Bulldogboy]

Release this guy. I've seen enough.

Have you not seen him pitch as a Brewer?

C'mon now...

[Brewcrew82]

Get Devin up.

Okay fine...Chafin might be washed...🤐

[BruisedCrew]

Looks like Williams will be coming into a save situation with the dangerous top of the Rangers order looming. 

[HarryDoyle]

Just admit your mistake Arnold and DFA this washed up bum.

[Bulldogboy]

Insane putting this guy out there. You know you're going to need Williams anyway so just give him the inning. 

[yourout]

Amazing how many times teams try to get to the finish with a big lead and a scrub on the mound and still end up using the closer.

[Jopal78]

Chafin‘s club option looking real tasty for ‘23. I get they needed another lefty, too bad they traded for an aging lefty having a bad year. 

[Simba2020]

Daniel Norris was just DFAd. We can try him again.

Sad, yet true.

[Brewcrew82]

Take him out. 

[RobertCrawley]

Some old us questioned the wisdom of trading 5 year control of Strz over 60 games of Chafin’, but we were told Chafin’ was basically the second coming of Trevor Hoffman. 

[Brewcrew82]

Gotta DFA, Chafin. Can't have a reliever who you don't trust with a 5 run lead. 

[BruisedCrew]

Is Dillard drunk? If a ball is hit to Monasterio and he throws home I will have a stroke. I assume he’s playing in because of the batter’s speed speed, but of course you concede a run and take the play at first instead of a tag play at the plate.
