Check Your Sports App For Daily Performance Assessments

If you check sports recaps every day, you’re accustomed to seeing players and coaches talk about what they did right and what they did wrong after every single performance. Their stats are shown in a box score. And a commentator is probably providing some additional analysis – debating whether the Washington Nationals should have tapped Max Scherzer to pitch in the wildcard game against Milwaukee this week, for example.
