Pregame 2 Press Conference

Q. Orlando, could you give us a bit of the vibe in the clubhouse this morning? Just how are the guys feeling after dropping Game 1?

ORLANDO ARCIA: What happened yesterday was yesterday. And today is a new day. I think we all came in with that same mentality that we're going to win tonight's game. And the vibe in there is the same as it always is, happy.

Q. This team has had a way of bouncing back after losses all season long. It's what you hung your hat on. Any reason tonight will be any different just because of the stakes?

ORLANDO ARCIA: That's one of the things I really liked once I was able to become a member of this team, just felt like whenever we lost a game, turned the page, on to the next day. Right?

So it's one of those teams where I think we keep fighting until the end. And we just take every game for that game. And we just expect and go out to win that day's game.

Q. Take me through your journey, when Ozzie went down and you were in, then they tried a couple other options. But now it appears that they're going with you. Take me through what that's been like for you?

ORLANDO ARCIA: I've always said that we're a team. It's hard to watch any of your teammates go down. So it was really unfortunate to see Ozzie get hurt. Then I got hurt. And obviously we gave other guys opportunities and they made the most of it.

But we're a team first. And I think we all share the same objective, which is to finish the season as champions.

Q. Do you feel a difference at all with this team, like last year's postseason run compared to this season's postseason run with them at all?

ORLANDO ARCIA: No, not really. I feel like with Herdy around I feel like we have that joy and happiness around. And I feel we do a good job of supporting one another.

Q. You guys have seen Wheeler a couple times this season. What are your challenges you think in facing him this evening?

ORLANDO ARCIA: Just battle. Have to battle every at-bat and just try to take advantage of every opportunity to get on base and just have the guys drive you in.
