• Quick Reminder of Why Justin Turner Spells Michael Busch Against Southpaws
There was a mild uproar Tuesday afternoon/evening when people discovered that Justin Turner was once again manning first base in place of Michael Busch. Heck, I even joked about it on Twitter. After all, Busch leads the team and all MLB first basemen with a 156 wRC+ while Turner boasts a 68 wRC+ that is … The post Quick Reminder of Why Justin Turner Spells Michael Busch Against Southpaws app...2025

• Cubs 6, Royals 0: All-Star Matthew Boyd shines bright

Photo by Matt Dirksen/Chicago Cubs/Getty Images The Cubs posted their 12th shutout of 2025. Matthew Boyd’s first career All-Star selection did not result in him playing in the game, mostly because the Cubs wanted him to rest for games exactly like this one. The well-rested Boyd, who had last pitched 10 days earlier, threw seven outstanding shutout innings and the Cubs put together a varied...2025

I lead this recap with that because of this, from BCB’s JohnW53: The Royals went into this game having hit 77 home runs, second fewest of all teams. Only the Pirates had hit fewer, 66.

I think that no matter how long I’ve been a baseball fan, I’ll never stop being fascinated how fast a bad team can look good and vice versa.

That looks like one that you laugh and say nothing went our way. But for seven and a half innings, this game could have gone either way.

"com/8JgMJCJPaz— Andy Martínez (@amartinez_11) April 23, 2025 Justin Turner, who’d entered the game in the eighth batting for Workman and stayed in playing first base, was called out on strikes to end the ninth, and so, for the second straight game, the Cubs would play extra innings."

2024
"Martinez: Red Sox He’s popular there and they need a DH with Justin Turner gone."

2023
"Stroman allowed a leadoff double in the fourth to Justin Turner, who scored on two ground outs to make it 6-1."

2022
"Beasley’s agent, Justin Turner, tells NFL Network that Beasley has retired from the NFL."

2021
"Justin Turner left today’s game due to what the Dodgers described as left groin discomfort, and manager Dave Roberts said the third baseman will have to miss at least a brief amount of time."

2020
"Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner took umbrage at commissioner Rob Manfred calling the World Series trophy a "piece of metal."

2019
"Justin Turner, who is entering the final year of his contract, would likely have to shift to the right side of the infield if L."

2018
"The fact that Justin Turner played hurt in the World Series isn't as much a reason he's a beloved Dodgers teammate as the fact that he wouldn't talk about it then and won't talk about it now."

2017
"Justin Turner hit a three-run homer run in the first inning off a victory in Game 1 of the National League Division Series presented by T-Mobile."

2016
"But that was then and this is the National League Championship Series and the Dodgers lead it, two games to one, after Yasmani Grandal and Justin Turner took Arrieta deep and Rich Hill silenced the Cubs in a 6-0 win on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium."

2015
"Buster Posey belted a grand slam and singled to contribute to a four-run outburst in the seventh inning as the San Francisco Giants subdued the Los Angeles Dodgers, 9-5, despite a three-hit effort from Justin Turner on Friday night at Dodger Stadium."

2014
"If they don’t and the free-agent pool doesn’t work for them, one of their own guys—Erisbel Arruebarrena, Miguel Rojas and/or Justin Turner—will have to fill the hole."
