Tigers Pitcher Andrew Chafin Had Priceless Response to Reporter, and MLB Fans Loved It

In this story:
Detroit Tigers veteran left-handed pitcher Andrew Chafin has long been one of the funniest players in Major League Baseball, and he added to that reputation with a priceless line after Thursday’s spring training game against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Chafin pitched just one inning of relief and gave up a long home run to Toronto’s Daniel Vogelbach. The reliever later did an interview with the Bally Sports broadcast after his outing and had such a funny response after the reporter rambled a bit before not really asking him a question.
This might be the best moment of spring training so far:
