I don’t like relying on the "Eye Test."

Always second-guessing what I’m seeing, I want to seek out data-driven evidence to parse out what I believe is transpiring in front of me. I know the game I’m watching but I always want more. Unfortunately, there are some things in sports that can’t quite be measured or proven and in those instances you must trust what you’re seeing.
