Bruce Bochy Swing Quotations

He's got unbelievable power -- plus/plus power. You can see it coming. He's getting his swing down. The ball was really jumping off his bat. Look out for Italy.

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.

I think he's still feeling the effects from the broken toe. I don't think he's fully recovered; he's trying to find his swing right now. That's why I want to give him a couple of days off to clear his mind.

You look at their numbers and you'd think we were in a softball league. They have some young guys who can swing the bat. We fattened up some averages, that's for sure.

We didn't swing the bats at all today. We got the big hit there by Joe but we didn't create many opportunities, and we were dodging bullets all day.

It would be fair to say Ryan is searching for his swing a little. With the nagging injuries he has had, he just hasn't gotten a chance to get locked in at the plate.
