Article that additonally exonerates former Astros GM Jeff Luhnow. Brent Strom himself, who had nothing to gain said the following:He didn't know what was going on' The Astros still are booed wherever they go on the road, with fans incensed that they used illegal video to steal signs, but all that remains are four position players, a pitcher, and Strom. All are gainfully employed without being punished.
Strom, sitting at the end of the Astros bench, where signs were relayed with the pounding of trash cans, remains convinced that Luhnow is innocent, and never should have been suspended.
“He didn’t know (expletive) what was going on down here,’’ Strom told USA TODAY Sports. “He didn’t know. He didn’t get involved in people’s business. Now, should he have known? I don’t know.
“But I knew more about it than he did. I sat right (expletive) there when I heard it. If anybody should have been (expletive) going out, it should have been me, and not him.
“I was on the pitching side of things, and had nothing to do with that side of of the ball, but I was still part of the team.’’
=============================================================================
I have done quite a bit of research on the scandal, and I have found zero instances of where Luhnow could be incriminated.
And there it is folks why I have basically given up this f'n game. COB office and team owner prefered making an innocent GM a scapegoat while the criminals walk. Luhnow built this team and it is now on a run of 3 world series in 5 years. Jim Crane and Manfred are blowflies and I hope they burn in hell.
