With the Yankees holding the best record in baseball, Hal Steinbrenner has very little to quibble about. Even after a 5-4 loss to the Washington Nationals at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday, the Yankees were still a couple percentage points ahead of the Boston Red Sox in what Steinbrenner called a heck of a pennant race.
But the one area that concerns many Yankees fans is the starting pitching, and Steinbrenner, the team’s managing general partner, did not disagree.
“Look, I think there is definitely a need,” Steinbrenner said in the lobby of Major League Baseball’s headquarters in Midtown Manhattan.
