32 games after tonight's HR, good enough for 23rd all-time.
Is this the most unlikely hitting streak in MLB history?

Yea, it is unreal. I traded Jose Altuve to B-Fly in our keeper league to get Uggla's final year as I make a push for the league title -
Haven't seen the definitive article describing why this is impossible, but yes it is impossible.
My hunch is that some hitting guru just hit the lottery?finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

And Uggla was hitting around .165 when his started, which is silly even granting that he's not that bad,finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

Benito Santiago never struck me as the kind of guy who would hit in 34 straight.Originally posted by revo View PostOriginally posted by Kevin SeitzerComment

But his streak was as a rookie, and he ended up rookie of the year no less (and hit .300 that season). So in hindsight, sure, I agree. But if you were a baseball fan in 1987, year of the hitter, and one of the top prospects in baseball had a 34-game streak, it was par for the course that year.Originally posted by Erik View Post
But Uggla has so many things going against him here that we already know -- he's a slugger; he whiffs a lot; he's a .240-ish career hitter; he was in a slump of epic proportions; and he was hitting an unbelievable .165 when it started.Comment

Uggla 2-for-3 so far tonight, one of them a homer. The streak is now 33. Incredible!Only the madman is absolutely sure. -Robert Anton Wilson, novelist (1932-2007)

And you can thank me when (and if) you win the RJEL...as well as your patience. He is what he is...30 HR's 100 RBI every year. He just happens to be getting all of his hits for the season in one fell swoop.Originally posted by revo View Post

Still hitting only .229, took a chance on him in May and he's still hitting under .170 in extra-base hits (-HR) + BB to PA ratio (Great metric that judges best non dominate HR hitters like Gwynn or Helton - closer to runs above replacment) His Bombs are big and 26 he isn't just a 30 hr guy this year closer to 40 with 33 games and counting. I must say I love a streak and how is Rose not in hall of fame (oops wrong forum)Originally posted by Hornsby View PostAnd you can thank me when (and if) you win the RJEL...as well as your patience.

FYI, I dealt for Adam Dunn in my 'big' redraft league.

how many 1-4 games has he had in the streak?"You know what's wrong with America? If I lovingly tongue a woman's nipple in a movie, it gets an "NC-17" rating, if I chop it off with a machete, it's an "R". That's what's wrong with America, man...."--Dennis Hopper
