Letters to Sports: Why did the Dodgers keep their hands in pockets at trade deadline?
The self-confident, stay-as-they-are Dodgers did right by not panicking at the trade deadline and keeping the roster pretty much intact. This is still the same group of guys picked by most baseball experts to win a second straight championship. The slumps will pass. The injuries will go away. Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, Shohei Ohtani and the gang will be there at the end when it counts most. Marty ZwebenPalos Verdes Estates Though I don't agree with his breathless, sky-is-falling sense of urgency, I do think Bill Plaschke is right that the Dodgers should have been more aggressive at the trade deadline. It's a reasonable gamble to believe that their pitchers will stay healthy enough, their hitters will get untracked and Max Muncy will return and pick up where he left off. But it's a gamble nonetheless. And if you've already sunk $400 million into your payroll, what's another $10 million to $20 million for a playoff insurance policy: a proven closer and a better outfielder? John MerrymanRedondo Beach On Wednesday against the Reds, James Outman attempted to do his best Denzel Clarke-Cedric Mullins imitation by attempting to rob a homer. Unfortunately this last great effort typified Outman's career with the Dodgers, as it was another case of 'so close, but yet so far,' as the ball landed off the heel of Outman's glove for a two-run triple. The NL rookie of the month in April 2023 is a great athlete, but it was understandable why the Dodgers traded him. Ken FeldmanTarzana A few hours before baseball's trade deadline Thursday, MLB Network dived into how well top minor league prospects across baseball have succeeded in the major leagues over the years, and it's a pretty dismal percentage. Very few go on to successful big league careers, most just pop back and forth between the minors and majors, move from team to team, while many just fizzle out. They concluded that given the opportunity to garner a quality major league player, let alone an All-Star by just using your draft capital is a no-brainer. The Padres are one team that firmly believes in this while the Dodgers always seem hesitant to do so. They pointed to the Dodgers with an aging Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, Max Muncy and a 31-year-old, currently healthy Shohei Ohtani that the time to win is now and that holding onto all their draft capital when it could be used to immediately bolster the roster doesn't historically or statistically make much sense. Jerry LeibowitzCulver City Well the trade deadline passed without much movement from the Dodgers. With their deep pockets, I thought they might have become the first organization in MLB history to trade for an entire team. Joe KevanyMount Washington Halo hope When Arte Moreno sells the Angels this offseason, please bring in A.J. Preller, the architect behind the Padres, as the GM. Dean ConnorFontana Life of Riley So Lincoln Riley gets $80 million if USC lets him go before his contract is up. For that amount of money, I presume he's also curing cancer at the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center. Marty CooperEncino Redemption road As a Trojan fan searching for imminent signs of a return to football glory, it's oddly encouraging to see a certain columnist declare USC nationally irrelevant because if history has taught us anything, it's this: when Bill Plaschke buries you, resurrection tends to follow. Steve RossCarmel Bruins longshot I don't believe DeShaun Foster was "going full Joe Namath" when he guaranteed a packed Rose Bowl this coming football season. A critical college football playoff game will surely pack the place New Year's Day. As for his certainty of a jam-packed venue during the regular season — I wouldn't bet the house. David GriffinLos Angeles Role models What a great article Eric Sondheimer wrote on City section coaches uniting in challenging times. Reading about these new coaches, as well as some new stadiums, it has me quite excited about the upcoming season. They appear ready to lead their young men the right way in developing as players and students first and put the cheating at one unnamed City high school in the rearview mirror. These coaches are to be admired as they take on this arduous task with a lot less resources and financial compensation than many of their brethren at other CIF schools.

Where is the MLB Speedway Classic? Location, capacity, more to know Bristol Motor Speedway
For the first time ever, an MLB game is being held at the center of a race track. The Braves and Reds will face off in the 2025 MLB Speedway Classic, a specialty game that is expected to break the league's single-game attendance record. Baseball will be meeting motorsports, as the teams will face off on a field that was constructed inside a stadium that was built for NASCAR races. Saturday's matchup will also mark the first-ever MLB game in the state of Tennessee. 📲 Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp Here's everything to know about the location of the MLB Speedway Classic, including the size of the stadium. MORE:What to know about MLB's investigation into Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase Where is the MLB Speedway Classic? Location: Bristol, Tennessee The MLB Speedway Classic will be played in Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tenn. Known as "The Last Great Colosseum," the venue first opened in 1961 and has been holding NASCAR races for decades. However, this isn't the first non-racing event held at Bristol Motor Speedway. In 1961, an exhibition NFL game between Washington and Philadelphia was held in the stadium. Additionally, two college football games in 2013 were played there; the first was a Tennessee-Virginia Tech matchup in 2013, and the other was between East Tennessee State and Western Carolina. Not only will the MLB game be historic for taking place in the environment of a race track, but it will also be the league's first-ever game in Tennessee. MORE:Latest injury updates on Aaron Judge How big is the MLB Speedway Classic stadium? Bristol Motor Speedway holds a capacity of 146,000, so, MLB should have room for plenty of fans, which is one of the reasons why the game is expected to break the all-time attendance record of 84,587. MLB announced it was "set to break" that record with more than 85,000 tickets sold as of July 28. The diamond for the game itself was built across the track and infield of the speedway, with artificial turf instead of natural grass, and the dimensions are 330 feet to each foul pole, 375 feet to the right-field alley, 384 feet to the left-field alley, and 400 feet to straightaway center, per MLB's official announcement.

Pirates score 16 runs and lose for the first time since 1901, lose 17-16 to Colorado Rockies
Colorado Rockies outfielder Brenton Doyle had a hard time describing what had just taken place after he delivered the crowning blow in perhaps the wildest game of the major league season. Doyle hit a two-run homer with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning to cap Colorado's stunning comeback from a nine-run, first-inning deficit in a 17-16 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night. "Honestly, pretty speechless," Doyle told reporters. "It's hard to put into words. Just so proud of everyone in this clubhouse, never giving up. Man, what a win." Colorado won despite allowing nine runs during a first inning in which Pittsburgh's Oneil Cruz hit a grand slam and Andrew McCutchen had a three-run homer. According to Elias Sports Bureau and the Rockies were the first team to win after giving up nine runs in the first inning since Cleveland did it in a 15-13, 10-inning triumph over the Kansas City Royals in 2006. Cleveland trailed that game 10-1 after one inning. Back in 1989, the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Pirates 15-11 after falling behind 10-2 in the first inning. The three other occasions in which a team won a game after allowing at least nine runs in the first inning came way back in 1884, 1896 and 1913. "Getting down nine in the first, it's tough to come back from, but we kept the energy high," Doyle said. "We kept the fight in us. Oh my God, what a game." Colorado scored one run in the bottom of the first, three in the third, two in the fourth and four in the fifth to cut Pittsburgh's lead to 15-10. The Rockies still trailed 16-10 before scoring two runs in the eighth and five in the ninth. After Pittsburgh's Dennis Santana started the ninth by striking out Ezequiel Tovar, Hunter Goodman's 425-foot homer reduced the Pirates' lead to 16-13. Santana then walked Jordan Beck and allowed an RBI triple to Warming Bernabel. Thairo Estrada singled home Bernabel before Doyle delivered a 406-foot shot to end the game. The events in Colorado highlighted a night full of offense across the majors. According to StatsPerform, Friday marked the first time since June 23, 1930, that three major league games on the same day had at least 25 combined runs. The Miami Marlins erased an early 6-0 deficit and scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth to beat the New York Yankees 13-12. The Milwaukee Brewers had 25 hits while trouncing the Washington Nationals 16-9. ___ AP MLB:
