Bandy, Pina quite the catch for Brewers

One of the questions this offseason was who was going to catch for the Milwaukee Brewers this season?

After all, Jonathan Lucroy had been dealt at midseason and Martin Maldonado was shipped off in December. Milwaukee got Jett Bandy in return, but he had hit just .237 in 72 games with the Angels from 2015-16.

Here were over a month into the season and it turns out maybe that shouldn’t have been a concern after all.

Bandy and Manny Pina, who entered the season having played 793 games in the minors and just 38 in the majors, are handling themselves just fine, thank you, especially at the plate.
