Did MLB hit a home run with the Speedway Classic?
Yahoo Sports senior MLB analysts Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman reflect on baseball's record-setting--and rain delayed--game between the Braves and Reds at Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee. Hear the full conversation on the 'Baseball Bar-B-Cast' podcast - and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen. View more Video Transcript You know, maybe we should throw this one in turbo mode, Jordan, because they did go fast over the weekend at the first ever. MLB Speedway Classic between the Braves and the Reds, these two teams played a game. Almost kind of two games, played a game. At the Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee, a NASCAR track, a custom built field was constructed in the infield, I believe is what it is called in in NASCAR, in the middle of the track. For the purpose of, as, as I understand it, setting the record for the most fans at a regular season game. I love this idea, like, I think that like we want baseball to continue to try and do new stuff. I think this was an unbelievably ambitious version of that, that as we saw was pretty difficult to execute rain or not. Uh, that said, I don't want this to discourage the league from continuing to try new stuff. I agree. And this was, this was a hell of a spectacle and I, I know the rain impacted, I'm sure the broadcast and how it was received, whether you were there or not, uh, but the, but the scenes were, were amazing. Bristol Motor Speedway knows how to have 90,000 people show up in the middle of nowhere and accommodate, right? That happens twice a year, I believe when they have the races there. The issues seemed to be like, you got to have enough food. That is, I, I know that maybe the rain, complicated things, having enough food feels like a base level accommodation. I would say that starting the game and playing and eating on Saturday in those conditions felt like something of a. Sham. Like that was outrageous and ridiculous. I know that they wanted to get the game in. I understand that. But if Sunday was an option, they should have just banged it earlier. This was cool. Keep doing stuff like this, MLB. It is appreciated, it is interesting, it breaks up the season. It brings the sport to places that don't usually get to see the sport. There's a novelty to it. It is interesting. I would just say. Even though you got a a C+ on this paper, does it mean you should quit writing? Close

The Lakers have set Luka Dončić up to succeed as long as he's willing to wait
No one ever turns down an opportunity to be the face of the Los Angeles Lakers. Anyone who has ever been handed the keys to one of the most prestigious sports teams in the world takes them without hesitation. Luka Dončić is no different. You may have already heard the weekend's news. On Saturday, Dončić, who is a top-four player in the world on his worst day, agreed to a three-year, $165 million contract extension that should keep him in Lakers purple and gold until at least the summer of 2028. Contrary to some reports (and misunderstandings), Dončić did not take a discount by "only" getting $55 million in average annual value. Following his trade from the team that drafted him, the Dallas Mavericks, this was the maximum yearly salary Dončić was eligible for. Taking that amount of money wasn't a favor to the Lakers. However, Dončić's choosing to sign an extension now was, in fact, a gesture of good faith. It is him relinquishing his options and all the leverage he could've had by delaying the contract decision for another year. It is the All-NBA caliber forward's tacit acknowledgement that he'd like to see through his time with the Lakers, however long it will be, while giving them momentary peace of mind. As conversations about LeBron James' basketball future swirl, Dončić taking pen to paper now is his saying he genuinely believes the Lakers can construct a championship team around his talent. Dončić has every right to believe this. Recent foibles aside, the Lakers' historical precedent with superstars and contenders is unmatched. No one else in the NBA builds juggernauts overnight quite like the Lakers. No one else stacks and collects stars quite like the league's marquee franchise. That they got Dončić for pennies on the dollar in the first place is prime evidence of this phenomenon. To the chagrin of everyone outside of their bubble, this is what the Lakers do. The catch for Dončić is that he'll have to bide his time, smack dab in the middle of his prime, before the Lakers can find him a viable running mate. As it stands, James' contract is still eating up a sizable portion of the Lakers' salary cap sheet. That is, of course, money that will eventually be allocated toward an attempt at signing someone like, say, Giannis Antetokounmpo. Barring a shocking trade of James, it seems pretty likely that his deal will be a financial anchor of sorts on Los Angeles until next summer. The issue for the Lakers is that while they'd probably prefer to get active in signing someone to pair with Dončić right then and there, most franchise players who are worth the money won't become unrestricted free agents until 2027 at the earliest. So, at best, Dončić is spending two years of his career on a Lakers team that is slowly, gradually preparing a red carpet for his sidekick. He'll be 28 by the time the Lakers are ready to put a bona fide heavyweight supporting cast around him. To put it lightly, even if Dončić is seemingly starting to take better care of himself, this sort of basketball Purgatory is not ideal. I have sincere doubts that Dončić would ever seriously consider leaving the Lakers. They usually do what they want and get who they want, after all. He knows that. But don't discount how this semi-transition roster of players will present itself over the next two seasons. These Lakers might not be veritable Tier 1 title contenders, but they can't afford to tread water with someone like Dončić, either. How they fare competitively may determine just how patient Dončić is willing to be with the Lakers' plans for him. Please put the Giannis speculation to rest (for now) Look, I'm not going to pretend that Giannis Antetokounmpo is an absolute lock to be a Milwaukee Buck for life. There's a reason I mention him as a potential 2027 target for the Lakers. Two years is a long time, and the Bucks are far from stable even after an eventful and productive offseason. But for now, no one in Antetokounmpo's inner circle, no one in the Bucks organization, and not even Antetokounmpo has hinted that he still potentially wants to leave Milwaukee before this coming NBA season. In fact, the only reputable person still fanning the flames is ESPN's Shams Charania. On Monday, the reporter claimed that Antetokounmpo remains undecided about where he wants to play. Not in the long term, which is a lot safer to describe as up in the air. In the short term, with Antetokounmpo already clearly giving the Bucks a longer rope to figure things out. So, until I hear someone else closer to the situation verify these Antetokounmpo trade "rumors," I'm taking them with a grain of salt: "After the conclusion of the draft and free agency, all 30 rosters around the league are more or less set in stone. Anyone who would ostensibly even have the space to trade for [Giannis] Antetokounmpo now probably has much less flexibility to do so without moving mountains around their salary cap sheet. Everything has been accounted for, and it would be a huge headache to dig things up again. We're also roughly two months out from the start of NBA training camps. That sort of short turnaround timeline doesn't lend itself to one of the best players in the world making a seismic change in his career at this specific point." Here's more on the latest (speculative) update concerning Antetokounmpo. Shootaround This was Layup Lines, For the Win's basketball newsletter.

Big Dumper's big year: Cal Raleigh's ‘staggering' season leads an offensive surge by MLB catchers
Seattle's Cal Raleigh — better known by the catchy nickname 'Big Dumper' — has lived up to the moniker, dropping baseball into the outfield seats all over the big leagues this season. Manager Dan Wilson has been in awe of his talents. 'That's what you get from Cal,' Wilson said. 'Night in, night out, blocking balls, calling the game, leading a pitching staff, throwing runners out — that's what Cal does and he does it very well.' Oh ... wait a second. Wilson obviously wasn't taking about Raleigh's prodigious power — he's talking about how the 28-year-old handles the most demanding defensive position on the baseball field: Catcher. Raleigh has smashed 42 homers this season, putting him on pace for 60, with a chance to catch Aaron Judge's American League record of 62. That would be fun to watch under any circumstance. The fact that the All-Star and Home Run Derby champion is also responsible for guiding the Mariners' pitching staff on most nights makes it even more impressive. Seattle is currently in the thick of the American League playoff race with a 60-53 record, and the Mariners are relying on Raleigh's bat and his brain to try and make the playoffs for just the third time since 2001. There's the mental side of the job — meetings, film study, calling pitches — but there's also the wear and tear of the physical side. The 2024 Gold Glove winner is also squatting, handling the run game, taking painful foul tips off all parts of his body, putting his 6-foot-2, 235-pound frame through the ringer four or five nights a week. All while hitting those homers. Catching is demanding and can wear on power hitters The fact that it took Raleigh a few years in the big leagues to emerge as a true superstar — this is his fourth full season with the Mariners — isn't surprising. The learning curve for young catchers can be severe and the defensive part of the job takes precedence. There's a long list of backstops who couldn't hit a lick yet carved out long MLB careers. Raleigh is a man of many talents and his power was always evident. He hit 27 homers in 2022, 30 in 2023 and 34 last season. Now he's on pace for 50 long balls and maybe more. There are only five other players in big league history who have hit at least 40 homers while primarily playing catcher: Salvador Perez, Johnny Bench (twice), Roy Campanella, Todd Hundley and Mike Piazza (twice). Bench, Campanella and Piazza are Hall of Famers. It's evidence of a player at the top of his game — and one who has come through plenty of experience. 'I don't think I'm trying any harder or doing any more than I have in the past,' Raleigh said. 'Maybe a little more focused on the right things, and not constantly trying to tweak or change something that I have been in the past. So, I think that's been the biggest part to the success, and just trying to keep that consistent and steady.' Wilson was more direct, putting into perspective what Raleigh has accomplished through the first four months of the season. 'It's pretty staggering,' Wilson said. Raleigh's big numbers are part of an offensive surge for MLB catchers: Will Smith, Hunter Goodman, Logan O'Hoppe, Shea Langeliers, Alejandro Kirk, Salvador Perez and William Contreras are among roughly a dozen at the position who are more than holding their own at the plate. Veteran catcher Carson Kelly is on pace to have his best offensive season in the big leagues at 31, batting .272 with 13 homers and 36 RBIs for the Chicago Cubs. He's been in the big leagues for 10 years and said the balance between offense and defense is tough for young players. 'It's almost like you're drinking from a firehose with how much information you have,' Kelly said. 'And I think, as you see catchers, as the years go on, you get smarter. 'You get smarter in your routines. and you're able to focus on the little details,' he continued. 'When you get called up as a young guy, there's so much going on. And as the years go by and as the days go by, you get more comfortable. 'OK, I know this, I know that, how do I really funnel this down into a couple points?' 'I think that's, you know, when you see catchers kind of take off.' Some adjustments are helping catchers stay fresh One major factor for the increased offensive production for catchers could be the one-knee down defensive stance that's been adopted by nearly every MLB catcher over the past five years. The argument for the stance is its helpful for defensive reasons, including framing pitches on the corners. But there's also the added benefit that it's a little easier on the knees than squatting a couple hundred times per game. 'A hundred percent,' said Goodman, the Rockies primary catcher who is hitting .279 with 20 homers. 'You think about back in the day when everybody was squatting … being in a squat for that long can be can be hard on your legs. Getting on a knee gives your legs a little bit of rest for sure.' Statistical trends suggest he has a point. Catchers have accounted for 12.2% of all MLB homers this season, making a slow climb from 10% in 2018. Raleigh's been the best of the bunch and fans — along with his catching peers — are noticing. 'It just seems like on both sides of the ball, when he's behind the plate he's really focused on his pitchers and calling a good game and all the things that a catching position entails, and then when he comes up to the plate, he can do damage,' Kelly said.
