Bruce Bochy Needed Quotations

We needed a great outing today, and we got it.

We needed a big hit, we have been missing it. He came through big time. It sure makes life easier when you get a big hit.

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.

We needed someone to do what (Park) did. Really, I thought Chan Ho Park bowed his neck and made some great pitches.

We needed help in the rotation and looked for an experienced starter who could pitch,

What was impressive is Jake knew what we were looking for, he knew the boys needed a rest down there in the bullpen, he just went out there and pitched his heart out, that's just a terrific effort, he really picked us up there.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
