• Cubs 14, Marlins 1: You get a hit! And you get a hit! And you, and you...

Photo by Carmen Mandato/Getty Images The Cubs had some fun with the bats in Miami. One thing that can get a team back on track after a rough loss like the one Monday is to come back the next day and absolutely annihilate the opposition. And that’s exactly what the Cubs did, with a 21-hit attack that matched their season high. From BCB’s JohnW53: They had 21 at Sacramento on March 31 while ...2025

Photo by Michael B. Thomas/Getty Images At least you’re not a Cardinals fan! *Please Note This Is Satire* I usually write serious articles. This is not one of them. Trash talk has been an integral part of baseball since its inception. All the way back in 1912, Ty Cobb ran into the crowd during a game to beat up a fan who was yelling some ... less than savory things at him. To be very cle...2025

Photo by Griffin Quinn/MLB Photos via Getty Images The Cubs take care of business in a 7-3 win. I know there are some who are looking for this team to just obliterate some of these lesser opponents. This week has not been a work of art. I see all of the things that you all do. And yet, the Cubs have won four of five. They remain one ahead of the surprising Cardinals. As an aside, I’m neve...2025

Photo by Matt Dirksen/Chicago Cubs/Getty Images The Crosstown Classic all-time series is now tied. The Cubs’ 7-3 win over the White Sox Saturday afternoon at Wrigley Field was their seventh straight over the South Siders (and the Cubs have won nine of 10 since the beginning of the 2023 season). It also evened up the all-time series between the two clubs at 74 wins each. The Cubs are 37-38 ...2025

Photo by Matt Dirksen/Chicago Cubs/Getty Images The Cubs offense was ineffective in a 3-1 loss. Worried is the wrong word. But the offensive malaise is lingering a bit longer than I expected. The Cubs have scored 27 runs over their last eight games. I don’t think there is any question that the injury to Ian Happ is part of the equation. The tailing off of Kyle Tucker is a piece of it. It’...2025

Davey Lopes with the Cubs in 1984 | Getty Images Justin Turner, formerly a very good player, had been awful for the Cubs until his walkoff hit Tuesday. How have similar Cubs acquisitions worked out? Justin Turner had struggled all year until he hit his stunning walkoff double Tuesday evening at Wrigley Field. That prompted me to take a look back at Cubs history to see what happened when th...2025

"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."

His only real mistake in four innings was a three-run homer by Brett Baty. (Baty homered again later off Julian Merryweather.) Horton struck out five and the Cubs...2025
