    Well, I'm finally doing one of these. I just got word that my time with @FiveThirtyEight is at an end. It was a joy to be able to write about analytics and sports for nearly a decade, and I want to thank you all for reading over the years.

    Khris Davis has hit .247 each of the past 3 seasons. He went into today's game with a .247 this year, too. He's currently 0-1. Assuming he has 3 more ABs in this game, he must go *exactly* 1-for-3 the rest of this game to land on .247 again. DRAMA!
