Holman is from Pennsylvania. I’m just wondering if someone back home caught wind and tried to make some money.
Just a odd deal all around.

One last wallow in self pity before moving on to Vandy. I knew the weekend was bad, but…. from the RBR postmortem…

Tiger batters pounced on any mistakes, hitting nine home runs in the series, most with runners on base. The Tide bullpen had a dismal performance, pitching a total of 13 innings, allowing 19 hits, 18 walks, three hit batters, and 20 runs, 19 of which were earned for a 13.15 ERA.

The story never made sense and I’m not necessarily worried yet, but this sounds a bit more ominous… (On3)

Report: NCAA 'gathering additional information' following report of Ohio betting halt on Alabama baseball
The NCAA is “gathering additional information” in light of an ESPN report about an Ohio betting halt on Alabama baseball, according to a statement sent to AL.com. ESPN published the report Monday regarding “suspicious” betting activity during the Crimson Tide’s game against LSU on Friday.
According to a message obtained by ESPN, Ohio Casino Control Commission executive director Matthew T. Schuler said “the acceptance of any wagers on University of Alabama baseball effective immediately” due to “suspicious wagering activity” at the BetMGM Sportsbook at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati. Alabama trailed LSU 8-1 in the eighth inning of Friday’s game before losing 8-6.
In a statement to AL.com, the NCAA said it is “actively gathering additional information” about the situation.
“The NCAA takes sports wagering very seriously and is committed to the protection of student-athlete well-being and the integrity of competition,” the statement read. “We are aware of this issue and actively gathering additional information.”
Since Alabama was playing LSU, Louisiana also received an alert about suspicious activity, according to NOLA.com. Chairman Ronnie Johns said since bets were placed in Cincinnati, they raised some red flags.
“There were a couple of bets made in Cincinnati, Ohio,” Johns said. “One was on a parlay which involved the LSU-Alabama game, and then there was another straight-up (money line) bet, I was told it was a large bet that involved LSU-Alabama.”
LSU was about a -245 favorite to win the game, according to ESPN, and Johns confirmed the bets were on the Tigers to win. That’s why he doesn’t think the suspicious activity came from the LSU side.
“That in itself indicates that there’s definitely no suspicious activity on the part of LSU,” Johns said. “You don’t typically suspect the team that was picked to win the game. The problem would have been whether someone on the Alabama side was suspicious of activity.”
Per NCAA rules, “participation in sports wagering activities and from providing information to individuals involved in or associated with any type of sports wagering activities concerning intercollegiate, amateur or professional athletics competition.”
Heading into the eighth inning of Friday’s game, LSU held an 8-1 lead before Alabama scored five runs over the final two innings, including four in the top of the ninth inning.
LSU pitcher Griffin Herring allowed five runs on six hits and two walks in 2.2 innings pitched. Bryce Collins then came in to close it out, allowing a hit and striking out the final batter of the inning.

This doesn’t make any sense to me, do they suspect Alabama of “throwing” games they aren’t supposed to win???

Reckon the “fishy” part was not just moving McMillan into the starting role Friday instead of going straight bull pen.
I’d assumed we didn’t start McMillan because his “warm-up” and routine is like a day long.
I said Friday that we conceded the game by not starting him. Not that I disagreed with the decision.
I absolutely hate that a sport book took a bad beat. Hate to see it.

So McMillan texts parents, “Hey make sure to watch. I’m starting tonight.”
Parents let everyone they know in on this so that they can watch. Information gets around…
If I am a betting man, I am not upping my wager because of this.
But I’m am like an earlier poster. I am glad a bookie took a beating.

All I heard was he woke up with a ‘stiff back’ on Friday. It wasn’t expected to be anything serious - I’m anticipating he’ll be back tomorrow but we should get the series preview later today and know for sure if that’s the plan. Also heard Hess was due back ‘before the end of the year’, which is rapidly approaching.

It's more than that. Most of these starters are on very specific routines that cover 5-6 days to recover from the last start and prepare for the next one. They line up their bullpens, strength work, recovery, etc., to start a specific day. So it's not always as easy as just moving the Saturday starter up a day.

Holman’s scheduled to be back. Still no Hess.
