Yamamoto dominated last night, but McFARLAND thinks his 2025 great season is a little bit of a mirage and to expect some regression. Here's how an over the top Gen Z'er would talk about it:

As much as it pains me to say (because I hate the Yanks with every fiber of my being), Ben Rice had a big HR against the Red Sox last night.

McFARLAND sees a lot to like about Rice going forward: mcfarland.onrender.com?mode=single&...

It thinks Witt Jr. is a better bet for 2026 than Cal 😮

I like to picture Julio Rodriguez and the Mariners holding the Astros' head down in the toilet and flushing, repeatedly. No hate against the 'Stros but I'm tired of seeing them in the playoffs every year.

Check McFARLAND for the story of Julio's year. mcfarland.onrender.com?player=23697...

Second-half Blake Snell is upon us! In the past 30d he's 3rd in MLB with 1.2 fWAR.

Phillies lock up the NL East supported in part by a clutch HR from Bryce Harper. Who hasn't had a stellar season but is still a threat.

Here's McFARLAND telling his 2025 story as if it were the 1970's:

Pete Alonso and the #Mets have let a promising playoff position almost slip away. Pete himself is going to have an interesting free agency after taking a disappointing deal last offseason.

The Texas Rangers are somewhat surprisingly fighting for a postseason spot. Wyatt Langford has been their hottest hitter over the past 30 days: .264/.405/.540 with good defense.

McFARLAND thinks this is a legitimate breakout at age 23: mcfarland.onrender.com?player=33333...

Mason Miller hosed us last night with an immaculate inning. He's having a very good year, if slightly off his dominant 2024.

Shakespeare has the goods:
