Alan Trammel Might Quotations

But it was a heck of a performance by our bullpen. Obviously it will be forgotten, but they deserve a lot of credit all the same. They had us wondering if something unbelievable (a 1-0 victory after a first-inning exit by a starting pitcher) might happen, but you know what, it didn't.

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're going to have to, ... I'm sure he'll be a topic. We're not over yet, so he might make that decision easy one way or another. But he's certainly opened some eyes. This has not been ordinary. It's been very good. Right now, he's a force. I'd certainly like to give him some credit, but is a few weeks enough? No.

You want to get that runner, ... Yes, they might still have runners on first and second with one out, but you will take your chances with that instead of letting the go-ahead run score that late.
