Reactions to G78 - Astros @ Giants

Coop:
"It was one of those nights. We hadn’t had one of these in quite a awhile."

Coop, on Paulino:
"Felipe’s stuff was as good as it was the last time. He just didn’t have good location."

More Coop, on Paulino:
"The breaking ball wasn't as good as it was before. Probably got too many pitches in the zone and didn't hit his spots very well. Seems like they knew what was coming."

Coop, on Fulchino:
"He's done a lot of that this year. Not just in this ballgame, but even in the games when it meant a whole lot and games were close, he still saved our staff because he pitched well for us. Even in that last inning when he went out, he said, 'Don't worry, I'm OK.' That showed me a lot right there."

Paulino:
"I was like, 'Wow, this is unbelievable.' I threw all my pitches, they hit everything I threw up there."

Blum:
"You’ve just got to battle through it. After two innings, you still have plenty of innings left to scratch back. But we didn’t put anybody on base."

Bruce Bochy, on Sadowski:
"The kid was good. He knows how to pitch. He works both sides of the plate. He can sink it. He has got great poise."
