Bruce Bochy Good Quotations

We're in pretty good shape, everywhere from the bullpen to the position players. This is how you want to be at this stage.

We're going to rest some guys the next couple of days. But it's also good for us to get on a streak here.

What a job he did. He had good stuff, good command. It wasn't as pretty as we would have liked but we'll take it.

We know how good a team they have. Some things are hard to explain. There are some teams we should have a better record against and don't.

Woody was great, ... He did a terrific job. He was getting up there in pitches. He had good command, even though he logged some pitches. He was just missing.

One thing you want to get is good swings. It looks like we have gotten a little defensive. I think some guys have lost some confidence. For us to be in a rut this long, it shouldn't happen.

Barry has been good for the game. However you create interest in our game and bring fans to the ballpark, that's a good thing.

He was a real shot in the arm when we brought him up. He's done some damage with the bat, with extra-base hits, and he's played nice outfield. He's a good athlete. He's a guy who plays both sides of the ball well. The job that he did when we brought him up, I think, was the reason why we did want him on this roster. It gives us more flexibility against left-handed pitching.

He has a plus arm. This is a big jump -- he was in A ball last year. But it should be good for him.

He has really done a terrific job. He competes. He was a real good acquisition for us.

He doesn't play golf or poker like most players. He loves the outdoors. One thing about Ryan, he takes excellent care of himself. He doesn't stay out late and abuse himself. His interests are different. I do think he'll have a good year. He knows what's at stake.

He made some good pitches, but made a lot of mistakes.

He came out of it and I think after that (pitch), he hung in there and took some good swings.

What we want to do is play good ball like we did tonight, ... There's some pride involved.

He's as good as anybody. We aren't the first team he has shut out this year.

He's getting an opportunity, and he's taking advantage of it. He's been good from the first bullpen (of spring). He came in ready. He has the attitude that he wants to make this club.

He's done a nice job. He's a nice acquisition for us. We needed another starter. With his stuff, with his experience, it's worked out well. I think a change of scenery has done him well. It's good to have him in our rotation.

Greenie's coming along faster than we thought. He's feeling pretty good with it, and he's got the OK to do just about everything.

I thought Eaton was better. His overall stuff and command were better. He should feel good about that outing.

I think the change of scenery is good for him.

I think the change of scenery has been good for him. He's getting an opportunity and he's taking advantage of it.

Overall we played well. We did a lot of good things.

Overall I thought it was a pretty good effort by Chris. We made some mistakes at the back end.

Our objective is to get to the playoffs and play good baseball. We'll figure that out once that happens.

It does give Kevin (Towers) a lot more flexibility. These aren't long-term deals, but they're good players. When you sign veteran players, (it means) you don't have someone in your system who's able to fill that void. Some of the catchers we think a lot of aren't quite ready.

I thought he threw the ball fairly well. He got a couple of balls up there, but it was a pretty good effort by Chris.

That was fun. It was a little different, but it was a good experience for all of us.

That's two nights in a row we've been getting off to a good start and then getting shut down. That's not a good sign, obviously.

That's a very good ball club over there. And to split a series with them - and we had a chance to take three out of four - is a boost for our club.

We've discovered the hard way there's no way to pitch to him. He's such a disciplined hitter at the plate and has such good plate coverage, it's almost like you can't even trust your pitchers to pitch around him. You've just got to intentionally walk him.

We need to tighten up defensively right now. That's cost us, even though we've had a pretty good month.

We thought it would be good for him to get some playing time. He hit some balls hard, that were right at guys, but he's a little rusty. He's a Major League player. I like his swing. His legs, his health, he's doing much better there. He just needs some at-bats.

We knew he had some power. But he is showing real good power.

We had our guys up there in the eighth, and you can't ask for more than that. What you're hoping for there is to get the tying or winning run on, and we did both, but they got a very big out. Randa took a pretty good swing, but just got it up in the air.

Estes had especially good command with his fastball.

There's a good possibility Ryan won't be on the active roster when we open the season.

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.

The stuff was always there. I think the change of scenery was good for him. Chan Ho is going to have a nice year. I'm very encouraged by how he's thrown the ball.

Ryan has a good eye and a good on-base percentage.

Ryno's come off a pretty good week. He knocked in some runs. I don't want to let him get rusty after coming off a pretty good week.

This is something he's earned. He's pitched very well, and we're looking for a good season from him.

They're all such good athletes, ... and they play both sides of the ball so well.

At least we won't finish with a losing record. We want to play good baseball. Woody pitched well. It was a good solid game all around for us.

It looks like his stamina's there and his finger feels good. He threw some good sliders tonight. He used all his pitches and that's an indication that his hand feels fine.

It should be a good experience for him.

It's hard to throw much better than that, ... He made it look easy. He had great command, good sinking action and was getting ground balls. He made adjustments, and it looks like he took it out there.

It's good to see him out there. He's worked hard to get to this point.

That's about as good a play as I've ever seen a pitcher make -- and it was huge. That could have turned the game around.

That puts a little pressure on you, knowing you probably need a good spring to stay here. He handled it very well. He didn't back off. He was aggressive from the get-go and stayed that way. It was something similar to Khalil Greene.

Eaton did just a great job of helping us stop this little skid that we've been in. No getting around it, that's a good one to get, the way things have been going.

No matter what level, anytime you have good chemistry it's going to add to the play, ... You compare it to your home life, it plays a part. Getting along, they probably play better on the field together.

It turned out to be a good trip for us. We're playing better. It's good to see some guys break out with the bats.

It was good to see him out there. He needed a little work, too.

It's not an all-important thing to us, but there is some pride involved. We certainly didn't want to finish this year going into the postseason under .500 and have that stigma on us. More importantly, we played good baseball.

It's natural, I don't care how long you're in the game, to press a little. He's not being as selective as he normally is; he's not seeing the ball too well right now. He's too good a hitter -- he'll come out of it. He's doing a nice job behind the plate.

It's nice to start this trip like this. We had some good at-bats to get the walks.

Cameron has been cleared to go so we are not going to be cautious with him. He is good to go.

He's the guy you want out there. We needed a good effort, and we got it.

Honestly, that wasn't a very good outing. His velocity was fine, but he had trouble getting the ball down. His stuff was good, and that's encouraging, but he made way too many mistakes.

He's got a good idea of what he's doing. He's taking good swings.

He showed very good command this spring, and he was a little off tonight. He has to put this one behind him.

He picked a good time to get his hit. We needed something there. Anytime you get a two-out hit to win in extra innings, it doesn't get any better than that.

You can't go at him one way. He's that good of a hitter. It's not like he has a hole anywhere where you can attack him there. You have to mix up your patterns, make quality pitches. He has good power the other way.

This is a good lineup, and it's going to score some runs. I don't know who would have scored runs tonight (off Webb). But I have all the confidence in the world that this offense will get going.
