This has gone on quite a while now. It’s probably the longest one I’ve seen a club go through. Hopefully, when we come out of it, we’ll come out if it for a long time,...

He came through in a big way for us, on both sides of the ball. But Ramon is experienced, and our pitching staff is very comfortable with him. He’ll do most of the catching. But...

He’s a major league player, a major league hitter. He’s going to be back up here.

Overall, that was one of the best plays I’ve ever seen.

Khalil is a great talent with a tremendous work ethic. We’d love to see him make it through a season without any injuries. He gives us production on both sides of the ball, and he’s...

He’s got a nice, easy swing. The ball flies off his bat.

We’re probably going to need only four starters for the playoffs.

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...

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...

It definitely hurt because we’ve got a couple of guys down now so we’re not at full strength,

Mike has hit in the 5-6 hole a lot in his career. He also has experience at the top of the order, so we have some flexibility. For now, though, I want Mike hitting down...

There’s going to be a little more sense of comfort with him now. He knows this club, he knows the city, so it’s nice to have him on the bench. He gives us depth and...

That’s a big blow to their hopes, … And a big turnaround for us.

It was as scary a moment that you can have on the field. Our thoughts are with them.

We’re getting hit pretty bad. We always say it’s going to take 25 men to accomplish what we want, and we’re getting called on already.

Come out and get three and we stop after that. It’s puzzling. We didn’t even threaten.

[Against St. Louis Game 3 starter Matt Morris, San Diego has] got to get some timely hits, … We’ve had our chances. We’ve just been unable to get that big hit to break through.

He’s been consistent and it looks like he’s gotten in the groove. He’s helped solidify this rotation, and I can’t say enough about the job he’s done since we acquired him.

We had our chances. We’re just missing the big hit. It was similar to the first game.

[Bochy declined comment when asked if Johnson could snatch more starts from Klesko.] He (Johnson) deserves playing time, … He’s playing some great baseball right now. You want somebody to force your hand. You always...

It’s fair to say we’re disappointed we haven’t done a better job of getting some more wins and widening the gap. I’m sure other teams would say the same thing, [that] they’re disappointed they haven’t...

In fact,

We are disappointed we couldn’t make it more of a series and win some games. We didn’t play well in St. Louis. Today, they got the big lead and we couldn’t climb out of it.

It turned out to be a good trip for us. We’re playing better. It’s good to see some guys break out with the bats.

It’s in our hands. We like to win ballgames. That’s what we need to do – take care of business.

I think Mike’s got something to prove. Obviously in New York they tried to make him do the transition to first. He could’ve signed with an American League team and been a (designated hitter). It...

We’ve got to come out of this. It seems like we’re giving (opposing pitchers) credit a lot lately. We can’t get down. There is no easy answer.

How we go about things as far as stations is a little different, but nothing major. We always work hard on fundamentals, and we’ve turned up the volume on that.

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.

When you first come up, you don’t know what you’re getting into. He thought he took too many pitches. This time, he’s getting his swings. That doesn’t mean he’s out of control, just that he’s...

We’ve been cautious with him. If he feels anything, we’re going to back him off.

Pedro has pitched great for us. He’s a guy we need down the stretch.

I know a lot about his game, definitely. He’s our best prospect. He’s the closest to being an everyday guy here.

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.

He came out of it and I think after that (pitch), he hung in there and took some good swings.

He could make his debut Saturday or Sunday.

That’s what you’re looking for, to stop the momentum. Clay stopped it for us. He did an incredible job.

I’d like to think we can. That’s not asking a lot.

We haven’t swung the bats well here, or even on the road, it’s fair to say.

Petey has stepped in and thrown as well as anybody in our rotation. That’s a great acquisition for us.

I think the change of scenery is good for him.

I certainly enjoyed having Grady here on the staff. He was a big help to me. I’m glad he got another opportunity to manage.

He could’ve taken another couple of weeks off. That would’ve been fine.

Ash is one of my all-time favorite ballplayers.

I guess this park isn’t too big for him. That shows you how strong he is.

It is nice to have him back. He got us going there with the home run. He swung it well tonight.

Ryno is a presence, a force, … When he’s right, he can carry the ballclub. I thought he swung pretty good [on Monday night, going 1-for-3]. He needs to quit breaking it down [mentally] and...

It just doesn’t get any better than this.

[Manager Bruce Bochy wants to reacclimate Klesko to first so he can put Klesko’s left-handed bat in the lineup more frequently.] We know Ryno has the capability of being a force, … That gives us...

He’s played very well, and to be honest, he’s flat-out earned this. He took it upon himself to win this job, and that’s what he’s done.
