Meh, paint it any way you want to, Chafin needs to go. Jewell or turd nugget, he has no place on this team.
I don't buy that he was acquired to be our 8th option out of the bullpen, but that is neither here nor there.
He sucks ass and needs to go.
Corbin Burnes was pulled from Sunday’s start against the Yankees after eight innings of no-hit baseball due to a sprained ankle.
Burnes threw 109 pitches in the ballgame, so it was unlikely that he was going to return for the ninth inning anyways, but the ankle may have also played a role in his removal. He suffered the injury on the final play of the seventh inning. Burnes told reporters after the game that he was fine and should be able to make his next start.

This didn't age well. lol
Sorry, had to do it.
He is an excellent manager, until he isn't, and using Chafin in that situation was NOT an excellent decision. We all knew it, except Craig.
Please do not replace Andrew with Donaldson for the stretch run. He has done all that can possibly be expected of him, and benching him for a guy who is out of gas and showing no signs of getting better in AAA, would be a seriously stupid thing to do.
