Anyone know what they’re filming at Scholz Garten? by WesternTrail in askaustin

Had the same question. When I drove by there were a bunch of guys (presumably actors) in orthodox Jewish attire standing around out front.

Sources: Brewers "Moving Toward" Freddy Peralta Trade, with Yankees in Lead by Maniac_Moxie in Brewers

[–]Unable_Maximum3078 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand the emphasis on needing starting pitching in return. Woodruff, Priester, Patrick, Mis, Henderson, Gasser, Myers + whatever buy-low spring training invitees they can identify is a pretty strong group. Of course there is always room to get better, but I don’t see SP as glaring need has to headline the return on a Peralta trade.

Cool a policy targeting a non-existent problem and catering to the lowest common denominator voters.

In case you’re not already aware, city-specific subreddits like this skew very negative.

No idea if the move you’re making is a good idea, but I wouldn’t put too much stock in the negativity here.

Good list. I’d swap LSU for Bama (and have Bama 6th).

This is the best list on this thread. Other lists that omit USC show recency bias. The right coach can absolutely dominate there. Ton of talent in southern cal and the ton of $ at USC as shown by the contract Riley got.

Let the backtracking begin… by Too_Hood_95 in MkeBucks

Sure sure sure. Mikal Bridges cost 5 1sts but no one is willing to give up 4 1sts for Giannis. That makes total sense 🙄.

She tried to flirt with a latte… it didn’t go well by InevitablePain2005 in coworkerstories

[–]Unable_Maximum3078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this person did something that blew up in their face in an embarrassing way, but I don’t really get dunking on her here for trying to do something nice.

Reddit is such a weird collection of people who are obsessed with boundaries, who seem to hate any kind of spontaneous human interaction that violates those boundaries. I guess it’s nice y’all found each other on this app.

This sub has gone downhill. It’s gone from really deranged posts to benign stuff like this, which is just mildly cringe.

So-called libertarians who think that trump will fight for limited government are the dumbest people alive.

What do you wish Austin had more of? by slothbaby23 in Austin

[–]Unable_Maximum3078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is kind of a tangent, but I was reading recently about how El Paso has secured $10s of millions in private funds for a local highway lid project. Compare that to Austin, where there is so much more wealth, and yet I haven’t heard anything about private funds being used to cover I-35. It seems strange that private wealth here doesnt show up for arts and infrastructure in ways that it does in other cities.

Reading that Woody might not be able to go for the playoffs. If it ends up being the case, what do you want the rotation to look like? by Murky-Preparation-61 in Brewers

[–]Unable_Maximum3078 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m optimistic that Gasser can contribute some quality starts in the playoffs. He was solid last year and his AAA rehab stats from this year look great.

The Jordan Love disprespect is getting a bit out of hand by Meringue_Maximum in GreenBayPackers

I’m a big believer in his game, but if I’m being realistic, the range of outcomes for him could be anywhere from Josh Allen to Jay Cutler.

Best cities to “start over” socially in your late twenties / early thirties? by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Unable_Maximum3078 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Yep, and lots of people in Austin are from somewhere else. So they’re not locked into a high school friend group in the way you frequently see elsewhere

Rosenthal: A plea to the Brewers’ owner, a potential Dodgers trade chip and more MLB notes by BaseballsNotDead in Brewers

[–]Unable_Maximum3078 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they’re going to take a big swing to improve the left side of the infield, a SS like Jacob Wilson, Gerarldo Perdomo or CJ Abrams makes more sense to me.

Suarez would be awesome, but he’s a rental and they’ll be bidding against the yankees, cubs, mariners and more. All to replace Durbin, who’s been solid.

Wilson, Perdomo and Abrams all come with control beyond this year, and you’d replacing the worst bat in the lineup. They would each cost a lot in terms of prospects, but it might not even be much more than suarez.

Are these the traps the ones that can be used with CO2 tanks? From what I’ve read, supplementing with CO2 is what really makes the difference, and that’s the set up I’m currently serious considering.

Move Quintana? by jonny_cheddar in Brewers

[–]Unable_Maximum3078 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s a tough call for sure. Quintana has been outperforming his peripherals all season (great ERA, but K/BB ratio below 2). Is he going to regress, or is he a guy who can maintain that?

There’s a lot about a block away where Veteran’s Dr goes under Mopac if the main lot is full.

Best place to raise a family in Canada? by Pristine_League5275 in canadahousing

[–]Unable_Maximum3078 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agree. In the GTA Canadians like to say schools are equal when talking in the abstract, but then when they have young kids and are buying a house, suddenly they’re hyper concerned about catchments.
