I almost forgot to post about this. As a few people probably noticed based on the streak-tracker I had posted on the blog, Juan Richardson just had his 10 game hitting streak snapped when he went 0 for 3 on May 17. I thought I'd take a minute to look at what Richardson's numbers did during the streak, as he was impressive but not great.
During the streak Richardson hit .410 (16 for 39), raising his season average from .243 to .290 (22nd in the Texas League). That's good, but not great (for a streak of this length), afterall, Shane Robinson leads the Texas League in hitting with a .410 average for the whole season. Also, Richardson scored only 8 runs, drove in only 5 RBI and hit only one bomb during the streak.
He was hot, but not as hot as you might expect for a streak of that length. Afterall, in 6 of the 10 games in the streak, Richardson managed only a single hit.

About this Blog:
In this, the Northwest Arkansas Naturals' inaugural season, I thought it would be fun to create a blog to discuss the team, and to provide some additional, original content on Arkansas' newest professional sports franchise.
I will try to focus on three things:
1. Day to day results of the Naturals' games, including as many first-hand accounts as I can give you.
2. Rehab assignments and call-ups to and from the Royals.
3. Game strategy notes plucked from Naturals games. I'll discuss pitching changes and offensive strategies, evaluating each as we go. Afterall, it's not just the players, but also the the managers and coaches who are trying to make it to the show.
