Alan Trammel Hit Quotations

It's time for the troops to dig a little deeper here. We get to find out what we're made of. We've hit pretty much a low point in the season for me, and there's no pity party.

We did get a few hits, but then he was able to get that sinker going and then we'd hit into a double play. Give him credit.

We're just not hitting right now. It isn't that we aren't trying.

We've said it before, when Carlos Pena hits a home run -- wow! That might be the furthest ball ever hit in this ballpark. He's been a different player since we brought him up six weeks ago. He's a better player.

Even though he hasn't hit that well against left-handers, we want to get him some playing time. He's opened some eyes -- what he's done hasn't been ordinary.

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

We got a lot of big hits today and that was one of them.

I thought we responded to everything well except for this last month. I think, looking back, it is fair to say that we hit a wall.

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.

First and third with one out, we needed to put that ball in play and we didn't. Not being able to get that hit and run down there kills us. He got the breaking ball, then he swung through it.

(Graffanino's) hit us whether he's been with the Royals, White Sox, Boston. He seems to always get on base, some how, some way. He's been a thorn in our side.

Omar hasn't been swinging all that well. He's hit a lot of pop-ups. I still think Omar will get more of the time, but it's going to be split up a little more, and I'll go with the hot hand.
