Bruce Bochy Time Quotations

He's fine. He's going to get a little time here and get healed up everywhere. I just want to give him a break right now.

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

I think overall with his game, he's a little rusty. He's a major-league player; he's a major-league hitter. He's going to be back up here. I just think, at this point, he needs some time down there.

There is no question Doug was a time bomb. More than anything, I'm glad we found this before anything serious happened on the field.

When you pick up somebody like this in a desperate time and have him come through the way he has, I don't think anybody could've expected it.

We had a hard time figuring Hernandez out. He sure looked like the same guy as in '98. He mixed his pitches up and hit spots.

Brian never had any arm trouble. He made every start the whole time he was here. I don't remember him having any soreness.

I wanted to increase his playing time against right-handers and he started struggling a little there against right-handers (in recent games). That's why we're going back to the way we were.

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 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.

But wins this time of year are important. We don't have to look at the scoreboard. You can't help yourself because the board is so big, and it's a natural thing to look, but we control our future.

It's that time of year. You've got to keep grinding. We've leaked a little bit here with our pitching, more than we're accustomed. ... We need to tighten up a little bit.

It's not really a time to start picking at the corners. We're down four at that point. You've pretty much got to challenge them, and we lost the challenge.

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.
