Alan Trammel Good Quotations

Obviously, you always like to win. I'm not sure if a good finish can make up for that month.

He kind of grows on you, ... He's a good baseball player with good instincts. He's already a major league outfielder. This is more than just a look-see. We think Curtis is definitely a part of our future.

Going back to July, we had a pretty good month, ... Shelton was hitting third and Pudge was hitting sixth.

He had a cramp and just couldn't get rid of it. He was in the dugout later in the game, so that was a good sign.

He had a good curveball. Talking with the Toledo staff, when he's pitching well, that's something he has to have.

It actually played well. I give Dave Mellor and his staff a lot of credit for getting it in good shape. Certainly, it's not perfect, but how could it be?

That's two out of three that he's done a good job. He has to keep the ball down. When he does that, he's much more effective. He's not overpowering.

That was -- pick an adjective -- brilliant, outstanding. He was on the plate and he stayed ahead of the hitters. He's had seven outings for us, and six of them have been good ones, but this one might have been his best.

We battled. We didn't give up. As we say, we still lost, but I feel good about the fact that we certainly battled right until the end.

We battled and we didn't give up. We still lost but I'll stand by that. We talked about this before - that's the kind of game there's a good chance you're going to get into playing here.

What a big hit. He's been a different player since coming back from the minors. The way he's been swinging the bat, you're going to get good production.

When you think you might see him, you don't, then there he is. It was good to see him.

With the options we have right now, Sean remains our best one, even though he's not pitched well and it hasn't been pretty lately. I think he's capable in my mind -- he's pitched some good games -- but I think his confidence right now is a big part of it.

A starter gives you seven or eight good innings, you'd like to see him rewarded with a win. It hasn't worked out as much as we'd like.

We didn't muster much. Ryan Franklin had good command of his breaking ball, slider, change and curve. He throws all four pitches.

This guy is a good contact hitter. He can put the ball in play. He hit 17 home runs last year. He's a good hitter, and he's a good infielder.

There's a good chance he stays down in instructional ball,

To say you're pressing, that's true, no doubt, ... Even the coaching staff. We haven't been hitting, our pitching hasn't been as good as the first half...nice to stop the bleeding.

This is exactly what the Detroit Tigers need. He's what I call a good ballplayer who does a little bit of everything.

In his short career, he's pitched well against us, ... I know he's 5-16. I know he's had some tough luck and all, but I think he's going to be a good one. This year's been a struggle for him, but from what I've seen of him, he can pitch.

I know some of them were good hitting, but I'd say there have been way too many pitches in the middle of the plate.

It toughens you up. Sometimes you go into little streaks of, why is this and this happening? I'm past that. If I'm going to be a manager and do this for a long period, these are things that can help. I want to look at some good times, but I've been through some tough things. I've stood up, and I handled them.

I know it didn't look good when it happened, but it's hard to say how long it's going to be. I feel for Rondell because he's had a history of injuries, and he's a great guy.

I just think with the options we have that it's my best option, ... even though he has not pitched well. He has pitched some good games and he's capable in my mind, but it hasn't been real pretty here lately.

He started in Double-A and made it to Triple-A, which is a good sign,

This team is playing well and deserves some credit. This is a good time to be playing good baseball.
