Baseball is all about pitching, and we know we have to improve our pitching.

Pitching is a priority.

I just want to pitch well enough for us to win. In my mind, that's what it's all about.

I'm a huge advocate of pitching. You have to have good pitching as the solid core, the foundation. It keeps you in every game.

Any time you can go out there and throw 12 pitches in any inning, you give your team some momentum coming in and get some confidence out on the mound.

You know in 1982, the year we came in tied for 3rd, we probably had a better team - I mean as far as talent. When we came back the following year and won it, our pitching staff was a little more experienced and it was such a thrill.

If you are used to going five innings and then go six or seven, you won't have your good stuff. They need to start that from the minor leagues and give pitchers strong arms.

Pitchers are going to break. You can limit their pitches and limit their innings, and they're still going to blow out. Pitching is hard on the arm.

We want to add an American League pennant... and to bring the World Series to Arlington.

We need three kinds of pitching: left handed, right handed, and relief.
