Trammell, nicknamed "Tram", played his entire career with the Tigers, highlighted by a World Series championship in 1984 and an American League East division championship in 1987. Although his arm was not overpowering, he had a quick release and made accurate throws, ultimately winning four Gold Glove awards. Trammell's defense perfectly complemented his double-play partner, Lou...
double few hit
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.
ball brought furthest hits home might player run since six weeks
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.
best capable confidence games good mind options remains sean though
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.
games home seemed
We haven't had too many of these games lately. Carlos comes out right from the get-go with a home run, and it seemed to kind of snowball from there.
ask given run
We haven't given him a whole lot of run support. He's doing his job, I'll tell you. I can't ask for any more than the way he's pitched.
lessons talked
Those are lessons that we need to learn. I made my statement. I talked to him. It's over.
ball good three
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.
best capable games good options though
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.
good great hard history
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.
block might runs score stop
In the sixth, not being able to block the ball, that was huge. We might still be playing. ... We didn't stop them after that, but we didn't score any runs either, so it's a moot point.
guy light sure
In light of how things are going, this guy is too valuable. We want to make sure that he's OK. Hopefully, it's just one start.
good middle pitches
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.
days five liked
I liked what I saw, ... We're going to see him five days from now.
guys initially latter normally
I'm reserving judgment, but normally I like to put (young) guys initially at the latter part (of the lineup), a kind of coattail,
