Bruce Bochy Last Quotations

We ran into a well-pitched game. After Ramon's homer, we really didn't create anything. That's the way it's been over the last couple of months.

We're not content with how it ended last year. The brand of ball we played, we'd like to improve on that. We've got a lot of work to do and things to cover this spring.

Obviously he's not locked in at the plate. He's a guy that's come through many times for us. (Third base) is the last place you want to hit that ball.

I got into the cab at the hotel to go to dinner with my wife (Kim) and sister (Terry) last night, ... Same cabbie.

I expect to see the same guy I did last year. I hope they'll limit him to 30 or 40 games. That first at-bat off Adam Eaton last year was very impressive. The guy hadn't played all year and Eaton was throwing 93-94 and he doubled off the wall. That bat speed is always there.

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 knows what he's doing out there. He competes well. He's really gotten so much better in his last five or six starts.

Roberts said it wasn't as bad as the last time he pulled the quad,

After a game like last night and with the way we've gone through the 'pen, we needed somebody to go deep in the ballgame.

They're going to need a break, though. Tomorrow we're going to do it by committee. They've been throwing a lot here in the last three days.

It's going to be tough to match the year he had last year. But if he makes all his starts ...

The need here is to get some help there behind the plate, ... Nevin did a nice job last night but he hasn't caught in quite a few years, so we need to get some insurance there.

The last thing we want to do is slide through the back door -- we'd like to come crashing through the front door,

I know he's pulling for us. I'd like for him to get it, believe me, especially coming off his last start. I know Adam is very eager to get on the mound and pitch. This would be a first time for him.

He's responded very well. He likes the No. 2 hole. He hit there a lot last year and he can use the whole field, hit behind the runner, hit and run, use his speed.
