DAN UGGLA

[spahnandsain]

I'm not saying he's mark lemke, but geez guys it not even to the Allstar break. Braves are contending, he could catch fire, maybe I'm a Homer.

Told you so.

31 game hit streak, ties Rico Carty for braves record.

 

[koal]

what was his problem for so long??!!

I'm no expert but have heard, he was trying to hard/pressing. Kinda like playing golf firing at the pin for bird when your behind. Idk

If he breaks the record, or even gets close, he won't be knows as the guy who committed 12 errors in one inning
in the all star game.

No, he will be known as the most improbable hitting streak ever. 22 of the 30 games he had 1 hit.

The hitting streak is amazing but how is this guy still hitting .220? so strange

Hes hitting .220 because when the streak started he was batting .173

Just a side note;

Uggla entered todays game hitting .345 (41-for-119) with 12 homers and a .689 slugging percentage during current streak.

Too bad those wacky statisticians count April, May, and June into the overall season stats!!

Seriously, though, I really can't see him going much further. The low 30's is where a lot of streaks die off. Seems like there is one every season.

17th player since 1941 to hit in 31 straight, so its actually far rarer than you would think to even get this far

32. solo HR. 25 to go.

 

[SeattleSports]

I'm curious where he ranks as far as where he has batted in the lineup. Batting leadoff and getting a 50 game hitting streak is less impressive than batting 9th and hitting 40 in a row imo.

 

[Hallsgator]

HR #2. Can we can't that as 33?

 

[spahnandsain]

Wow, never thought less of a ball player than I do of zambrano now.

GO UGGS!

Edit: I don't think there is anything scarier than eric hinske running out of the dugout giving you a death stare! Ha!

Uggla just hit his 2nd home run of the game and the 5th of the night for the Braves.. Zambrano just got tossed for throwing at Chipper... Some bad blood in this series going back a few years with Ted Lilly throwing at Edgar Renteria in Atlanta

Uh, pretty sure I heard Freddie Freeman say he remembers watching that in middle school and that's fuel for the series.
