Any more info on this?


I didn’t get to watch much of the game so I can’t recall if he was in the dugout. But he was definitely celebrating last night after the win.

Kling had an ok series at Bama. Was surprised he didn't get more PT vs OM (and since).



Yeah. He batted .333(2 for 6) and was on base .500 (5 for 10). He has basically been riding the bench lately except for late games subs.

Because Bingham at least makes contact every once in a while.

Could have easily been a hit also. Bingham hit it hard though.


Maybe but it was ruled an error bc the third baseman should have got it. He made good contact though. Several people in here said he got a base hit and an rbi. That isn’t accurate.

Kling has had a prolific bad season at the plate. K’s almost 40% of the time in SEC. Coach J had given him more chances than any of us would have.

Higher chance of putting one over the fence

Just did some quick math so anyone is welcome to correct me if I am wrong…

Bingham is 7 for 54 against SEC pitching since his slump began at the beginning of April. Batting roughly .130. Kling is about .250 in that same time frame.

Before Bingham’s slump, he was doing fine and Kling was pretty terrible. But things have changed and it’s odd that people are so fixated on how bad Kling was two months ago.
