re: How many third strikes has Kling looked at this year?

It’s all good. I would have loved for Bingham to go off today and make me eat crow. In the end the CF position is fricked right now, but I just don’t see a better option than Kling currently. It might surprise you but earlier in the season I was in favor of actually benching him for Bingham, but Bingham just hasn’t been enough of an upgrade and seems to be trending down. Makes more sense in my opinion to just accept that Kling is the best we have and hope that these at bats will benefit him in the long run.

He is 100% frustrating to watch at the plate and as of right now seems like he isn’t going to figure it out this season. Just get him some at bats, hope he has a good summer, and can improve for next year.
