Overthrew every pitch to a RHB. Guy is completely lacking confidence.

Take him out. 

Mind boggling.

[shanedog19]

Okay the. Chafin experiment needs to promptly end.

[TURBO]

CC just trying to get Devin Williams lined up for a save to pad his stats.  Mission accomplished, now get this freaking bum out of there.

[duewizard]

Before tonight Chafin had a 7.20 ERA in 5 IP with the Brewers...

[YelichPosse]

DFA plz

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'd take Claudio over this scrub every time and twice on Sunday.

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. 

To be fair, Strzlecki is sucking in AAA, too, and has lost his velocity.

Counsell please stop acting like you have the Hader Williams combo. Just play and pitch the best players.

Just stopping by to see how everyone's doing.

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

We have a few guys that make you pucker no matter how big the lead.

[Brewcrew82]

I say we should never trade for a reliever at the deadline ever again.

[igor67]

How is that we can seemingly identify and redeem pitchers all the time except bullpen guys at the deadline?

[Bulldogboy]

Brewers the only team who don't understand that guys are available because they aren't any good.

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.

Not everybody does this. I’ve seen plenty of closers start the ninth with leads over 3 runs. 
 

Do you want to see Semien or Seager or Lowe as the potential tying or winning run?

Basically a collective stroke that has triggered a mass anxiety attack.

[TURBO]

In all seriousness, who didn't see this coming..........except for CC and Oxy.  lol

[Brewcrew82]

Good god.

But where will he be in two or theee years? Maybe a bust but maybe a gamer

I doubt it. He's already 28. 

[HarryDoyle]

This is going to sting big time if they lose this game.

[duewizard]

Why did we trade for Chafin? The 2023 Bush/Norris

Honestly I just paused it because it is making me mad.
