An amazing turn-around for sure!
His streak is impressive, but having watched last week's Pirates-Braves series I saw Uggla get awarded a hit by his home team scorer on a botched routine grounder to short; Ronnie (Don't call me Ozzie) Cedeno took a slow-motion approach to the ball and then bobbled it for a second before launching a wild throw beyond the first baseman's reach.
To me, if one were going to illustrate the proper assignment of an error, this was the play, but instead it was ruled a hit, his only hit of the night. Knowing this scorer is probably still at work, it'll color my view of Uggla's streak going forward.
