They should have Cheo on more. Always like hearing from the stars of my youth. I'm not the type who can recall batting styles or windups, but envisioning him slapping and driving line drives all over the place is easy to recall.
Bat held straight up over left shoulder, high front leg kick, hair barely contained by batting helmet. He was my first favorite Astro.
1980 still breaks my heart. I remember crying my eyes out when they lost. I was only 11 years old at the time. I wanted so bad for Cruz, Puhl and that team to win it all and it was that season when my love for the Astros truly began. Most of my favorite Astros are from that era and Cruz was certainly one of them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That was a heart-breaking loss. I am convinced they would have been World Champs with a healthy J.R. Richard.
I feel the same way about 04 with Andy Pettitte Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
Or even a healthy Wade Miller. Backe stepped up big-time, but the drop off from Pettitte or Miller to Pete Munro was enormous.
Our bullpen was gassed.
