Bruce Bochy Tough Quotations

Woody threw the ball well, just had some tough luck in the (two-run) first inning.

Lowe was tough on us today. He is coming off some well-pitched games, and we didn't hit that many balls hard early. A sinkerballer gets groundballs, and that's what he has been able to do against us.

He's given himself some better at-bats against some tough right-handers. He's come a long way there. He's responded well.

He didn't have a full tank. It's tough to pitch when you're not at full strength. He's still battling this thing. He hasn't gained all of his weight back.

He deserves a shot to try to get a 'W.' He's had some tough luck.

I thought Woody, overall, pitched fairly well. He's gotten the ball up a couple times, but tonight he was better. He had some tough luck that first inning.

We had golden opportunities. We just didn't cash in. Those are always tough when you create as many chances as we did and don't execute.

It's a tough loss. I thought Adam (Eaton) threw the ball well. We just couldn't quite cash in on a couple of opportunities there.

It was a tough day for our pitchers. Our young kids made a lot of mistakes. We made errors, missed cutoff men. It was pretty ugly.

It's a different game if that gets through. It was hard not getting a run there. That's a tough one because we played very well until the eighth.

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

It's how you want to face him. It looked like he didn't have a chance. He fought off some tough pitches and then crushed one to center. You can't forget how awesome he is just because his knee is bothering him.

He's what you're looking for -- tough and strong, a guy who loves to be out there.
