Friday on The A-Team with Adam Clanton and Adam Wexler, Chandler Rome joined the show to discuss concerns about Ethan Pecko not being fully ready, but the Astros need him now, putting pressure on the rookie to step up. He also weighed in on Steven Okert landing on the injured list with a hamstring injury, which is a major blow to the bullpen. Okert is understandably bummed about the setback but believes the injury is minor. He’s arguably been the Astros’ most important reliever this season, even ahead of Josh Hader, who has missed significant time. Finally, Rome discussed Peter Lambert being tired and not having overpowering stuff, making command especially important for him. As for Tatsuya Imai, reliability appears to be the major factor in the decision not to pitch him, though money could also be playing a role.
