#Travis Stubbs

[skarsjoy]

Eric LaRue is is on VOD today (watch list)

Alex was fantastic in the the movie! I believe I counted he was in 14 scenes and smiling in just about all of them. This is a heavy-topic movie, but honestly didn’t feel super heavy to me. I did feel for Janice (played incredibly by Judy Greer) throughout the film though. It seems odd to say I enjoyed the film but I did. Alex’s Ron reminded me a lot of his character Travis Stubbs in ‘On Becoming a God in Central Florida.’ Ron wasn’t so crazy though. And apparently does offer a lot of neck massages.

I feel like we’re always talking about missed opportunities and ‘hidden knowledge’ (i.e. Dylan’s necklace extended discourse). So, in a similar vein: what do you think the counselor’s middle names would be?

I wanted to ask everyone this and kept forgetting! You’re going to wish you asked someone more creative than me because I have an incredibly lazy answer. A few months back I read a fic that gave Dylan a middle name I violently hated (bad personal associations) and I was like, okay, this sucks, but what would I give him instead? And then I thought, dumb idea, what if they all had their actors’ names as middle names? I figured no way, they couldn’t actually sound good, right? Too easy. But… it actually kinda works? For most of them anyway, I did make some tweaks.

I actually think Dylan’s middle name is Dylan. I think his first name is Miles and he goes by his middle. Flows better that way to my ear.

Miles Dylan Lenivy.

Ariel is too similar to Abigail, it’s too singsongy, but Winter is actually Ariel’s middle name. Abigail Winter Blyg didn’t really speak to me either but what if we shifted the season and gave her Autumn instead?

Abigail Autumn Blyg? Into it. Witchy fall girlie.

Ryan Justice Erzahler. Yes please.

Laura Siobhan Kearney. Poetry. Might be my favorite of the bunch. Consistently Irish.

Now, is Max just outright legally named Max, or is it short for something like Maxwell or Maximilian or Maximus? I think I like Maxwell best for him.

Maxwell Skyler Brinly. I like the echoed y sound. (Although Skyler’s middle name is Augustus and that would be a fun option for Max too.)

Nicholas Evan Furcillo. Fine. Serviceable.

Jacob Zachary Custos. Yep. ✅ That’s a perfectly nice middle of the road white boy name. Which is just what you want for our naked himbo babe.

Kaitlyn Brenda Ka. I just think giving her the middle name Brenda is very funny. It’s so incredibly 80’s. I’m obsessed with Kaitlyn naming her Barbadian D&D character Brenda in that one 80’s AU fic.

Emma Halston Mountebank. Yes. Sounds expensive. I don’t know what Emma’s social background is supposed to be but that name sounds like a horse girl to me. I feel like she wants to project wealth and success even if she has more humble roots than it seems.

And just for funsies, this handy plug-and-play formula gives us

Travis Theodore Hackett

Christopher David Hackett

Jedidiah Lance Hackett

Robert Ethan Hackett

Constance Lin (Grundy) Hackett

Eliza(beth?) Grace Vorez

Kaylee and Caleb can’t share the middle name of Uncredited Face Model, so I’m giving Caleb Travis as a middle name, since THackett and CHackett used to be tight, and Kaylee Amelia after her mother.

Silas I’m giving the middle name Peter, for both Peter and the Wolf and Peter Stubbe, ‘The Bedburg Werewolf’ so, Silas Peter Vorez.

Sometimes being lazy as fuck about naming characters works out I guess? But I wanna hear other headcanons because I could definitely be swayed on these!

[tplatow64]

offseason time (for real now)!

my early thoughts:

hoffman should come back. I'd say 2 years and 10 to 20 million.

turnbull I would like to have back as andrew painter insurance/long relief, but I would understand if he wanted a better chance to start full-time elsewhere.

estevez I don't care.

One name I think is worth looking into if turnbull doesn't come back is jakob junis - I got to see him a few times after he got traded to the reds and he did pretty well both as a starter and out of the pen.

As much as I would love to sell my soul and go all-in for juan soto I know in my heart of hearts he probably stays a yankee.

Another thing that I might have also said here last offseason is that I'd like to kick the tires on shintaro fujinami - definitely a caleb cotham project, but you can't really teach 98 mph gas - I'd try to get him on a minors deal with a spring training invite.

Alec bohm probably stays since he's still pretty cheap but I think aidan miller is on track to replace him.

Would perhaps like to see a shakeup at catcher and in the outfield - definitely marchan as the backup over stubbs (can rest JT without actively throwing), possibly consider trading marsh (much as i love him) or rojas?

oh yeah also hays can GTFO - I think wilson, kody, sosa, marchan is a fine enough bench?

I will definitely have more thoughts on this in the coming weeks and months - we will have to see what happens

Edit: braves declined option on travis d'arnaud, there's another option at catcher - won't set the world on fire but better than stubbs and more proven in MLB than any of our other catching depth

Timothy AbrahamBBC Sport Journalist at Lord's14 June 2025, 12:57 BST621 CommentsUpdated 2 hours agoWorld Test Championship final, Lord's (day four of five)Australia 212: Webster 72; Rabada 5-51 & 207: Starc 58* ; Rabada 4-59South Africa 138: Bedingham 45; Cummins 6-28 & 282-5: Markram 136; Starc 3-66South Africa won by five wicketsScorecardSouth Africa beat Australia by five wickets in the World Test Championship final to end their long wait for a major global title.The Proteas had resumed their second innings on 213-2 and needed 69 runs to wrap up victory on day four at Lord's.Australia captain Pat Cummins struck in the third over of the day to dismiss opposite number Temba Bavuma, caught behind for 66, to inject a semblance of belief.Then with 41 runs required, Mitchell Starc bowled Tristan Stubbs through the gate to cause a little more anxiety in the South Africa dressing room.However, centurion Aiden Markram continued where he left off from the previous day as he put South Africa on the brink of victory with a superb 136.Markram, the only player to make a hundred in the match, missed out on the chance to hit the winning runs when he flicked Josh Hazlewood into the hands of Travis Head at mid-wicket with the winning post in sight.That left David Bedingham and Kyle Verreynne to see South Africa over the line - Verreynne stroking a drive through the covers off Starc for a single to seal it before raising his arms in joyous celebration.South Africa's run chase was the joint second-highest in Test cricket at the ground - bettered only by West Indies' pursuit of 342 in 1984.They are the third team to be crowned World Test champions after New Zealand (2021) and Australia (2023). Proteas battle nervesWell-oiled South African fans had filtered out of Lord's yesterday evening buoyantly going through their repertoire of songs after a blissful day of batting. They shuffled through the gates on the fourth day decidedly more sombre, with the sobering reality there was still 69 runs to get.Ashwell Prince, South Africa's batting coach, acknowledged getting some sleep before Saturday's date with destiny might prove difficult for their players.So, almost inevitably, there were some sweaty palms and a few jitters. At least until the runs required trickled down to single figures when consternation turned to celebration.There were audible gasps when Cummins' eighth ball of the morning skidded through low, completely deceiving Markram.Then four deliveries later Bavuma dabbled at one which Cummins got to seam away and edged into the gloves of wicketkeeper Alex Carey.Australia couldn't do this, could they?Bavuma, who played the majority of his innings limping with a hamstring twang, hobbled off. It was an appropriate metaphor for the rest of the chase.Markram did provide flashes of aggression - cutting and pulling Cummins for four to raucous encouragement - before another Starc reality check.Stubbs' footwork had looked suspect to the Aussie left-arm quick round the wicket and he was bowled by one which nipped back through his defensive prod and pad to hit the top of off.Ice-cool Makram leads the wayNext ball Bedingham played and missed at a peach of a delivery from Starc which nipped away and narrowly avoided the edge of his bat. For a few moments, the tension was palpable.Having burned both their remaining reviews - a potential caught behind off Stubbs' glove and a flimsy lbw appeal against Bedingham - Cummins left himself no wriggle room in the event of some late drama.But when the dependable Bedingham - South Africa's top scorer in the first innings - settled in his rhythm alongside the ice-cool Markram the game was up for the Aussies.Markram whipped Josh Hazlewood for four then did the same next ball for three to bring the amount needed down to single figures.The opener missed his opportunity to provide the champagne moment when he whipped one off his pads to Head, who barely celebrated. Australia's players, practically to a man, came to shake his hand and Markram departed to a standing ov

IPL 2025: SRH vs DC - Match Preview, Prediction & Dream11 Tips | Sunriser

Hyderabad vs Dehli Capitals

IPL 2025: SRH vs DC - Match Preview, Prediction & Dream11 Tips Date: Monday, May 5 Time: 7:30 PM IST Venue: Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad

Match Preview: In what promises to be a crucial clash for both sides, Delhi Capitals travel to Hyderabad to face Sunrisers Hyderabad in a do-or-die contest. With 12 points from 10 games, DC are just outside the top four and need to win at least 3 of their remaining 4 games to stay alive. SRH, on the other hand, sit with just 6 points and require a miracle to reach the playoffs — but a win here could ignite hope.

While Delhi started strong, they've stumbled recently, winning just one of their last four. The return of Faf du Plessis and the consistent form of KL Rahul are positives. Axar Patel’s injury scare has been a concern, but his quick return in the last match gives hope. The high-scoring Hyderabad pitch means Delhi’s batting lineup needs to click as a unit.

For SRH, it’s been a disappointing season so far. Despite retaining their core, they’ve failed to produce match-winning performances. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma need to deliver big, while Pat Cummins will be hoping for better support from his bowling unit.

Pitch & Conditions: Expect a belter of a surface with plenty of runs on offer. Chasing has been the trend at this venue, with 4 of the last 5 matches won by teams batting second. Dew could play a role in the second innings. No rain interruptions expected.

Head-to-Head: SRH 13 - 12 DC Both teams have won 3 each in Hyderabad.

Fantasy Tips & Dream11 Prediction

Top Fantasy Picks:

KL Rahul – DC’s most consistent batter and leading run-scorer. Must-have for form and stability.

Abhishek Sharma – Aggressive start, plays spin well and has a good matchup against Kuldeep.

Mitchell Starc – SRH’s kryptonite, especially against Travis Head. Has picked 10 wickets in last 4 vs SRH.

Axar Patel – Captain leading from the front with bat and ball. Injury is a small concern, but he's likely to play.

Tristan Stubbs – High-impact player down the order with finishing ability.

Pat Cummins – Captain's role means he bowls at key times and can fetch wickets under pressure.

Dream11 Team Prediction (Small League)

Wicketkeepers:

KL Rahul (C)

Heinrich Klaasen

Batters:

Faf du Plessis

Abhishek Sharma (VC)

Travis Head

All-rounders:

Axar Patel

Nitish Kumar Reddy

Bowlers:

Mitchell Starc

Kuldeep Yadav

Pat Cummins

Mohammed Shami

Captain: KL Rahul Vice-Captain: Abhishek Sharma

Prediction: Expect a high-scoring thriller. DC have a more settled XI and better momentum. If Axar plays, Delhi holds a slight edge, especially with SRH's inconsistency and poor home form. Prediction: Delhi Capitals to win a close encounter.

[ad_1] Andre Russell For a period of time, there was enough suspense surrounding whether Andre Russell would be retained or not by the Kolkata Knight Riders. Eventually, the franchise took the decision to retain their star all-rounder. It also means that they won’t have the RTM option in the auction. Shreyas Iyer, the current KKR skipper, however, will now be a part of the auction. Their final list is as follows: Sunil Narine (12 cr), Rinku Singh (13 cr), Varun Chakravarthy (12 cr), Harshit Rana (4 cr), Russell (12 cr) and Ramandeep Singh (4 cr). SunRisers Hyderabad forked out 23 crore for Heinrich Klaasen. They’ve also re-signed captain Pat Cummins, Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head and Nitish Reddy. With all of them being capped, SRH’s RTM can only be used on an uncapped player. Rishabh Pant won’t represent Delhi Capitals for the next season. Instead, he will be back in the auction. Axar Patel, Tristan Stubbs, Kuldeep Yadav and Abhishek Porel will form their core.  KL Rahul, the LSG skipper, has decided to part ways with the franchise. Nicholas Pooran (21 cr), Ravi Bishnoi (11 cr), Mayank Yadav (11 cr), Mohsin Khan (4 cr) and Ayush Badoni (4 cr) are the cricketers who have been retained by LSG. On the other hand, Sanju Samson  (18 cr), Yashasvi Jaiswal (18 cr), Riyan Parag (14 cr), Dhruv Jurel (14 cr), Shimron Hetmyer (11 cr) and Sandeep Sharma (4cr) have been retained by Rajasthan Royals. So, Jos Buttler, one of their mainstays, has been let go of. RR won’t be able to use the RTM in the auction. For Mumbai Indians, Jasprit Bumrah (18 cr), Rohit Sharma (16.35 cr), Tilak Varma (8 cr), Hardik Pandya (16.35 cr) and Suryakumar Yadav (16.35 cr) make it to the retention list. Hardik will yet again lead the side. Gujarat Titans’ list includes Rashid Khan (18 cr), Shubman Gill (16.5 cr), Sai Sudarshan (8.5 cr), Rahul Tewatia (4 cr) and Shahrukh Khan (4 cr). Samson will continue to lead the set-up. Chennai Super Kings, the five-time champions, have also issued their retained players’ catalogue – Ruturaj Gaikwad, Matheesha Pathirana, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni. As per the new rules, Dhoni is now an uncapped retention, so they can still utilise the RTM. Meanwhile, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru have gone on to retain Virat Kohli (21 cr), Rajat Patidar and Yash Dayal. So, Faf du Plessis, the incumbent skipper, doesn’t find a place. Arshdeep Singh, one of the fulcrums of PBKS’ attack, has been released, while Shashank Singh (5.5 cr) and Prabhsimran Singh (4 cr) have been retained.    The following are the remaining purse for various IPL teams: CSK – 55 Cr MI – 45 Cr DC – 76.25 Cr KKR – 63 Cr RCB – 83 Cr LSG – 69 Cr PBKS – 110.5 Cr SRH – 45 Cr RR – 41 Cr GT – 69 Cr   The post Andre Russell retained by KKR; Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul back in auction pool appeared first on Sports News Portal | Latest Sports Articles | Revsports.

Driving Safely Around Austin’s Music Venues and Nightlife: A Teen's Guide to Navigating the Live Music Capital 🎶🚗

Austin is world-famous for its live music, buzzing nightlife, and vibrant streets. Whether you’re catching a show at Stubb’s or heading to a night out along Sixth Street, driving around Austin’s popular venues can be a challenge—especially for new teen drivers. 🚦 Crowded streets, heavy pedestrian traffic, and unpredictable road conditions make it important to know how to stay safe on the road while still enjoying everything the city has to offer.

At Travis Driving School, we understand the unique challenges that come with driving in Austin, particularly around its music and nightlife scene. Whether it’s navigating busy intersections, managing distracted pedestrians, or finding safe parking, we’re here to help you stay safe while you explore Austin’s famous venues. 🎸

Here’s a guide to help new teen drivers like you drive safely and confidently around Austin’s nightlife spots.

1. Be Mindful of Pedestrian Traffic 👫🚗

One of the biggest challenges of driving around Austin’s nightlife hotspots is the high volume of pedestrians. Whether it’s concertgoers crossing the street or crowds gathering outside clubs, it’s important to always stay alert. People may not always use crosswalks, and with the excitement of the night, they might not be paying attention to traffic.

Tips from Travis Driving School:

Drive slowly: Especially in high-traffic areas like Sixth Street or Red River, where people tend to spill out onto the streets.

Stay focused: Keep an eye out for pedestrians, especially near crosswalks or in areas without clear walkways.

Expect the unexpected: Not everyone will follow traffic rules, so be prepared to stop suddenly.

2. Keep an Eye on Parking Rules and Restrictions 🅿️

Austin’s music venues are often surrounded by limited street parking or paid lots. Finding a spot to park near places like ACL Live or the Mohawk can be tricky, and you need to be mindful of local parking signs and restrictions to avoid tickets or towing.

Tips from Travis Driving School:

Plan ahead: Look up parking garages or lots close to your destination before heading out. Don’t rely on finding street parking last minute.

Check for signs: Always pay attention to time limits, tow zones, and residential parking signs to avoid fines.

Parallel parking skills: In areas with tight spaces, you might need to parallel park. Our drivers ed courses at Travis Driving School make sure you’re ready for it!

3. Stay Sober and Focused: No Distractions Allowed 🍸🚫

Nightlife spots often mean there are people who have had a few drinks on the road. As a teen driver, it’s crucial to remain sober and fully alert at all times. The combination of loud music, crowds, and late-night driving can be overwhelming, but staying focused on the road is essential for your safety.

Tips from Travis Driving School:

No texting: Resist the temptation to use your phone or be distracted by social media. It only takes a second of inattention for an accident to happen.

Stay alert for drunk drivers: Sadly, not everyone makes responsible choices. Keep your distance from any car that seems to be swerving or driving erratically.

Designate a sober friend: If you’re out with friends, make sure everyone knows who’s the designated driver for the night. Even better, split the responsibility to take turns driving safely.

4. Navigating Busy Night Traffic 🚦

Austin’s nightlife scene brings a lot of cars into the downtown area, especially on weekends. Whether you’re heading to a concert at Emo’s or a club on Rainey Street, expect heavy traffic and crowded streets.

Tips from Travis Driving School:

Practice patience: Congested streets and bumper-to-bumper traffic can be stressful. Stay calm, avoid aggressive driving, and give yourself extra time to reach your destination.

Know your routes: Use apps like Google Maps or Waze to navigate and find alternative routes that might have less traffic.

Keep your distance: Leave plenty of space between you and the car ahead, especially in stop-and-go traffic where sudden stops are common.

5. Use Ride-Sharing When Needed 🚖

Sometimes the best decision is not to drive at all. If you’re feeling unsure about navigating Austin’s nightlife scene or you know parking will be impossible, don’t hesitate to use ride-sharing apps like Uber or Lyft.

Tips from Travis Driving School:

Safety first: If you’re too tired, or if your plans might involve drinking, it's better to rely on a ride-share service than risk it on the road.

Drop-off areas: Always arrange to be picked up or dropped off in a safe location, away from busy intersections or high-traffic spots.

Conclusion: Drive Smart, Drive Safe Around Austin’s Nightlife 🎶🚗

Driving around Austin’s popular music venues and nightlife spots can be exciting, but it comes with its own set of challenges.

Australia beat South Africa in second Twenty20 to win series, Mitch Marsh 76 not out

Mitch Marsh has continued his dream run as Australia’s Twenty20 captain, punishing the South African bowlers for the second time in as many games to propel his team to a series-clinching eight-wicket victory in Durban. .

Key points:

Australia hold an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series

Mitch Marsh and Matt Short combined to form a 100-run partnership

Marsh has scored 168 runs in both games of this series.

After hitting an unbeaten 92 on his captaincy debut in game one, Marsh produced an equally fearless encore, hitting an unbeaten 76 from 39 balls at Kingsmead on Saturday morning AEST.

His innings helped Australia hit 165 with 31 balls to spare and secure an unassailable 2-0 series lead.

The Proteas have been unable to find answers for Marsh, who hit six sixes on his thrilling drive and collected 168 runs on 86 balls for the series without being dismissed.

He had a winning partnership with Matt Short, who followed up his promising 20 in his debut in the series opener with 66 of 30 deliveries, which included four sixes.

After Travis Head started for 18, clean shots from Short and raw power from Marsh paved the way for a second straight belt.

Short crushed Lungi Ngidi’s second over for 20 to close out the power play strongly before Marsh crushed spinner Bjorn Fortuin’s first over for 18.

Marsh offered a difficult chance at the 32nd, Tavemba Bavuma nearly got a shoutout in the outfield.

Marsh and Short combined for 100 runs, Australia’s best partnership in the second wicket against South Africa, before Short cut spinner Tabraiz Shamsi towards Aiden Markram.

Marsh went to another level of aggression after Short’s exit, hitting hard until the end.

Earlier, South Africa captain Aiden Markram’s 49 helped the Proteas to a respectable 8-164 after their top order was destroyed.

Opener Temba Bavuma scored 35 of South Africa’s first 36 runs, but his departure led to a 4-10 collapse in the last three overs of the power play.

Seven of those runs came from a no-ball and a free, six from Rassie van der Dussen off Sean Abbott.

Markram and wicketkeeper Tristan Stubbs (27) joined forces at 4-46 and posted 51 for the fifth wicket to give their attack something to throw.

Deckhands Sean Abbott (3-22), Nathan Ellis (3-25) and Jason Behrendorff (2-25) managed to make appreciable lateral movement and make regular gains before Marsh and Short provided the real fireworks.

Proteas battle nervesWell-oiled South African fans had filtered out of Lord's yesterday evening buoyantly going through their repertoire of songs after a blissful day of batting. They shuffled through the gates on the fourth day decidedly more sombre, with the sobering reality there was still 69 runs to get.Ashwell Prince, South Africa's batting coach, acknowledged getting some sleep before Saturday's date with destiny might prove difficult for their players.So, almost inevitably, there were some sweaty palms and a few jitters. At least until the runs required trickled down to single figures when consternation turned to celebration.There were audible gasps when Cummins' eighth ball of the morning skidded through low, completely deceiving Markram.Then four deliveries later Bavuma dabbled at one which Cummins got to seam away and edged into the gloves of wicketkeeper Alex Carey.Australia couldn't do this, could they?Bavuma, who played the majority of his innings limping with a hamstring twang, hobbled off. It was an appropriate metaphor for the rest of the chase.Markram did provide flashes of aggression - cutting and pulling Cummins for four to raucous encouragement - before another Starc reality check.Stubbs' footwork had looked suspect to the Aussie left-arm quick round the wicket and he was bowled by one which nipped back through his defensive prod and pad to hit the top of off.Ice-cool Makram leads the wayNext ball Bedingham played and missed at a peach of a delivery from Starc which nipped away and narrowly avoided the edge of his bat. For a few moments, the tension was palpable.Having burned both their remaining reviews - a potential caught behind off Stubbs' glove and a flimsy lbw appeal against Bedingham - Cummins left himself no wriggle room in the event of some late drama.But when the dependable Bedingham - South Africa's top scorer in the first innings - settled in his rhythm alongside the ice-cool Markram the game was up for the Aussies.Markram whipped Josh Hazlewood for four then did the same next ball for three to bring the amount needed down to single figures.The opener missed his opportunity to provide the champagne moment when he whipped one off his pads to Head, who barely celebrated. Australia's players, practically to a man, came to shake his hand and Markram departed to a standing ova
