Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn said Wednesday afternoon that he was still undecided on who would pitch for the No. 9 Razorbacks on Saturday and Sunday against No. 12 LSU.
Obviously, 6-foot-3 junior left-hander Dallas Keuchel will make his Friday night start as usual. As for the next two days, Van Horn said that 6-foot-4 sophomore right-hander Brett Eibner would start one game and that 6-foot-6 junior right-hander T.J. Forrest would start the other.
Forrest, played at LSU as a freshman, didn’t pitch this past weekend, meaning he didn’t throw on the weekend for only the second time this season. Forrest was simply resting a “tired arm,” but Van Horn said Forrest has looked better throwing the ball early this week.
“We’ve flip-flopped on it back and forth this week,” Van Horn said. “We’re going to see T.J. throw a little bit more today and see how he feels before we decide. We’ll know tonight or in the morning. He needed the weekend off and got the rest.”
Keuchel is 6-1 with a 4.30 ERA this season. Eibner is 4-2 with a 3.23 ERA, and Forrest is 2-3 with a 4.74 ERA.
