00:00 Yeah, I mean there's no secret they're number one in the country for a reason pretty unanimously
00:04 You know it's a really really good pitching staff
00:06 And they've got Dave Van Horn. I mean that guy's just a winner
00:09 You know I think a lot of the coaches that I kind of grew up under coached under coach Van Horn at some point
00:15 And you know that's what they've always said so when he's got the best team he wins and we've got the worst team he wins
00:19 That's just the kind of coach he is so they're gonna be really prepared. There's a lot of firepower on the mound
00:24 There's some power at the plate, so it's just a great opportunity for us. You know we no secret
00:28 We haven't been playing our awesome baseball last week
00:30 But it's a beauty in this league you get a chance to get back in the saddle on Friday
00:34 And we've had a couple good days of practice and ready to get back on the field with them
00:37 Think for everybody around here it does you know obviously it's an exciting weekend you get the spring football game coming up a day you got
00:49 Softball here in town we've got them coming in I think it adds a lot of excitement for the fans and for people to talk
00:56 About but the end of the day we just got to go out and execute you know and I think they're obviously a really really
01:01 Talented team they're very well coached team, and it's a great opportunity for us, but for our guys guys just be business as usual
01:06 No, there's no secret. I mean it's a heck of a lot more fun to play at home
01:13 You know especially when you're playing a team like Arkansas. I mean when that place gets going up in Fayetteville
01:18 It's it's rocking that's there. They're obviously really talented and very good, but even harder to beat on the road
01:23 So having mid-home's huge will have the home field advantage
01:26 We should have beautiful weather this weekend a lot of people in town, so it's a great opportunity. We're excited to get going
01:31 I mean there's no secret
01:35 We played a little bit better at home this year up to this point that we have on the road
01:39 And and I think that's it's just the support of them is awesome
01:41 We had a rainy kind of crappy day on Tuesday
01:44 We didn't play good
01:45 It didn't play good enough
01:47 But we still had people here supporting us and still had guys investing in us in the amount of
01:50 Emails and text messages and stuff would just support from the fans. It's been awesome
01:55 So like I said we're excited to get back out there you when you have a game like Tuesday
02:00 It kind of leaves a bad taste in your mouth when you have a last
02:02 Seven days like we've had it leaves a bad taste in your mouth
02:05 So it's just exciting to be able to get back out there in front of our guys on Friday evening
02:09 I mean it's gonna start with the guys on the mound. I mean
02:16 There's no secret that they can really pitch you know
02:20 So I think it's not gonna be one of those games. We're probably gonna go out and see a slugfest on either side
02:25 I think the strength of Arkansas is definitely their pitching staff, so we're just gonna have to get good starts
02:31 We're gonna have to everybody coming to do their jobs
02:32 And you might see some new faces in some new spots and some guys have really been working and they're kind of ready for an opportunity
02:37 And then just from the offensive standpoint. It's just gonna be about doing it together
02:43 You know we talked about the pack offense and how we operate if we try to go one-on-one against those starters
02:48 We're gonna be in trouble, but I think as a group if we play together we grind out at bats
02:52 We get into that bullpen
02:53 You hopefully look up in the seventh and in a good spot with the chance to win and bring in AD and slam that door
