I'd go with a bit better, but I'm not sold on much better. Career Stats Grandal = .242 Avg and .794 OPS Pina = .257 Avg and .726 OPS Here are some defensive career stats - averaged over 150 games Grandal - 14 passed balls, 75 stolen bases with just 26 caught stealing Pina - 4 passed balls, 55 stolen bases (less people will try stealing on Pina) with 31 caught stealing Does anyone still believe in Travis Shaw. I understand that he has had a terrible 2019, but don't forget in 296 games with the Brewers in 2017 and 2018 He hit .258, .347, .497 with 57 doubles and 63 Homeruns. We need the Mayor of Ding Dong City to make a comeback.

Since June 1st the Brewers are 24-26. Since June 1st, Moustakas is hitting .246 with an OPS of .807 and Grandal is hitting .236 with an OPS of .816. Since June 1st - Many Pina is hitting .280 with an OPS of .979. If you look at those stats since July 1st - Its even more pronounced Moustakas .200, .642 - Grandal .232, .739, and Pina .375, 1.192 Also - The pitching staff has an E.R.A. of a run lower this season when Pina is catching instead of Grandal. This poor game caller rep is nothing new for Grandal and is a big reason why the Dodgers switched to the no-hitting Austin Barnes late last season, much of the post season, and the reason there wasn't much of a free-agent market for him as well. Everyone wants to bring up the change in pitching coaches, but how about the guy calling the majority of the games this season for part of the reason of having a disappointing pitching staff. I say lets get as much as we can for Moustakas and Grandal before they walk and lets see if Shaw and Pina can hit .250 with an OPS of .800 the rest of the year.
