Billy Wagner Turn Quotations

Right now, we're very confident. We're not letting one loss turn into two.

It's not the end of the world. We'll play as hard as we did tonight, and hopefully things will turn around for us.

Actually, I thought I threw the ball decently. I just felt in good conscience I wasn't going to be able to turn it up to that next level. I'd say my velocity was anywhere from 92 to probably 96 mph. But that's not as consistent as I need to be to face the competition we're going to have. I couldn't in good conscience go out there and put myself into that situation.

We know how important this month is. Guys turned it up for the second game. We're going to have some tough losses, but we didn't let one tough loss turn into two.

I've done everything I can do to be ready for it. Physically, I just don't think it's there. A lot of guys can turn it up. I can't.

I just didn't feel like I was ready yet. I didn't feel like I could, in good conscience, go out and try to push myself to that next level in early March. It's something that could turn out and I could hurt myself, and that's something I want to stay away from, because I want to go out there and do what's right for me and my future.
