Bruce Bochy Hitter Quotations

We've discovered the hard way there's no way to pitch to him. He's such a disciplined hitter at the plate and has such good plate coverage, it's almost like you can't even trust your pitchers to pitch around him. You've just got to intentionally walk him.

We're going to approach him the way we always have and just take for granted that he's going to be swinging the way he usually swings. I mean this guy's one of the greatest hitters of all time, so we're not going to treat him any differently. We'll try to approach him the same way we have in the past and that's to make quality pitches and hopefully not make a mistake.

We're going to approach him like we always have, as if he's been playing all season. This guy's one of the greatest hitters of all time. You want to make quality pitches and not make mistakes.

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.
