Expectations with xStats, a broken metronome, and keeping an eye on the Atlanta outfield
Eno and DVR discuss xStats and the limited appeal of using them for in-season evaluations while examining the first-half performances of Nathan Eovaldi, Sonny Gray, Nolan Arenado and Anthony Rendon. Plus, expectations for Atlanta outfield prospect Drew Waters, Jackson Kowar's brief debut, and whether the time is right to pick up or target Logan Gilbert in a trade.
