Just how are the Houston Astros doing it,
anyway?
There may be one or two prognosticators in the
world that tabbed the Astros to win the National
League West, but that’s an optimistic figure. This
is a baseball team that has wallowed in mediocrity
for the better part of four seasons, and now it is
starting to look like honest-to-gosh pennant
tenders.
.If the Astros continue their winning ways, many
pfople will be eating a lot of words come season’s
end. Myself included. The fact of the matter is, the
Astros show no signs of folding.
There are obviously plenty of ingredients that
lead to a first-place standing with the season
roughly one-fourth of the way complete. One of
tliose ingredients is a Los Angeles Dodgers squad
that is stinking up the West. The Cincinnati Reds
a^e also in the stinko department, which leaves the
top two spots in the division open for someone to
tdke.
,*One other Ingredient that seems to be making a
difference is rookie Manager Hal Lanier. He’s
taken virtually the same lineup that was pretty
ntediocre a year ago and made it look revitalized.
The bottom line, though, seems to be an Astro
trademark from former good years — pitching.
The last time Houston made a playoff appearance,
tlfe team featured such hurlers in their prime as
Nolan Ryan, J.R. Richard, Joe Niekro and Joe
Sambito. Of course, none of those arms are having
anything to do with the Astros’ current success.
JOnly Ryan is still with the club, and he appears
to be set for the most dismal year of his storied
career.
No, this year the names are Mike Scott, Bob
Knepper, Charlie Kerfeld and Dave Smith. Those
four are the main reason the Astros have a fine
team earned run average of 3.13. Kerfeld has the
Kn'epper’s not far behind at 9-3. Scott, of all people,
lea,ds the league in strikeouts and Smith leads the
league in saves with 13.
So, what’s going on here? Pitching, pitching, pit-
ching. As always, that’s what’s getting the job
done. If the Astros are able to pry Rick Rhoden
from the Pittsburgh Pirates, as has been rumored
since the first day of spring training, I’d almost be
tempted to concede them the division title. Almost.
fhere are still plenty of games to play, and a lot
of things can happen. Injuries, for example. Any
loss of playing time by Bill Doran, Glenn Davis or
Kevin Bass could prove fatal to the Houston of-
fense. The Astros don’t have an individual racking
up huge numbers, but the collective effort is more
than getting the job done.

Doran is among the league’s best second
basemen, along with Ryne Sandberg of the
Chicago Cubs and Johnny Ray of the Pirates.
Doran is hitting in the .270s with a team-high 14
stolen bases, and he provides a good glove as well.
Davis is also, surprisingly, hitting near .270.
That’s not bad for a power hitter, and he leads the
team with 10 home runs and 33 runs batted in.
Bass is doing his usual solid offensive job, with a
.280 average. His 16 RBI and five homers are dis-
tant seconds to Davis in the power department, but
they’re there nonetheless. Someday, Bass could
turn out to be one of the better players in the
league.
Part-timer Denny Walling has turned into an
almost full-timer. Formerly a platoon player at
third and first, his .311 average has made it hard
for Lanier to take him out of the lineup. He’d be
playing virtually every day if another platooner at
third, Phil Gamer, wasn’t hitting .299.
The two most vaunted members of the Houston
attack, outfielders Jose Cruz and Terry Puhl, have
yet to show up. They’re both hitting below .250 with
less than 30 RBI between them. Both are coming schimming.
off early-season injuries. If either or both return to wST"
the form they’ve exhibited in the past, the heat will
be off Doran, Davis and Bass to keep up the good Torres''
