Bruce Bochy Lose Quotations

He looks like he's going to miss a couple days. He's the one guy we can't lose on this ballclub. That would be a tremendous blow if we had him go down.

He's shown the Padres 80 times what he can do. You don't get too close to the stove without getting burned.

When you haven't had a lot of success up here, it comes down to confidence. He didn't have the same look he did this spring. It just looks like he loses his focus out there, especially with men on base. When things aren't going well, it looks like he tends to back off, instead of attacking the hitters.

There's a good possibility he may go on the disabled list. We want him real close if not 100 percent. It's the best thing for him and the club. We feel like we can give him a little bit of time right now if he does start on the disabled list.

I think it's been a while since there's been a division that's struggled as much as us, or has been devastated by injuries as much as we have. I think sometimes everybody loses sight of how hard every team has been hit by injuries.

To get this done went a little closer than I had hoped. This is huge for us. I know, for me, there's certainly going to be a sense of comfort in that ninth inning now that we have Trevor back.

I know a lot about his game, definitely. He's our best prospect. He's the closest to being an everyday guy here.

I hope that gets worked out with Trevor. I can't say enough about what he's done for the San Diego Padres , the community, myself. He's been my closer since I've been managing.

Swagger goes hand in hand with playing well. We have a lot of experience here. We're not looking for these guys to bounce back and have MVP years, but to be productive and have a year close to the previous year.

We don't want to lose him, ... We didn't want to designate anyone at this point. Our choice is that Paul would decide to stay and no one else will claim him.

He's been hitting for close to a week now and catching bullpens, and he's been cleared to go by our physicians. So he's in there. He says he's ready to go.

It's very close between the two. I wish I had a better reason besides what I just told you. I think Sweeney is our best guy coming off the bench.

It looks like he just loses his focus out there at times, especially with men on base.

It has to be close to a borderline miracle.
