Bruce Bochy Nic Quotations

There's going to be a little more sense of comfort with him now. He knows this club, he knows the city, so it's nice to have him on the bench. He gives us depth and insurance in case something happens.

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.

It's only spring training, but no question, anytime you win a game like that it's important. We're not as concerned with winning and losing in the spring, but that was a nice comeback.

That's the way it's been all year with us. It's what's kept us from getting on a nice roll.

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.

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.

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.

This is a black eye for baseball, no question. It would be nice to get rid of it and move on.

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.

What a great job he's done. He's been a nice surprise for us. When you make changes like we have in the bullpen, you need somebody to come through for you, and he has.

He was outstanding. What a nice job. B-Law gave us a great effort. He let one slider get away from him. Besides that, he was right on his game.

We've been very cyclical with our hitting. That's what has kept us from getting on a roll and a nice winning streak.

I wouldn't put him in the five-hole if I didn't think he was (capable). I think he's got discipline. He's got a nice swing and I think he could be a very productive guy in our lineup hitting in the 5-6-7 hole.

Jake was feeling the effects of everything that was going on between his teeth and hand, but he battled out there. He did a nice job.

It is nice to have him back. He got us going there with the home run. He swung it well tonight.

What a nice job he did, ... He gave us a great effort there. It was an outstanding ballgame. We needed it, because we didn't do a lot of scoring, either.

He knows this park as well as anybody. He had a nice series.

There's some pride here, ... We wanted to get that game. There's been a lot of talk about not finishing over .500. It'd be nice to play well the rest of the way.
