There is a great sine curve undulating through the thought of baseball. It pulses from the positive to the negative (amplitude varies) but there is nearly always a pulse up and a pulse down with a cross through 0, which in baseball terms is .500. Right now the Hokies are on the winning side of the sine curve with the starting wave nicely in positive territory. Maybe the VCU matchup changed the dynamic and marked the peak of the positive side of the curve. It’s hard to tell in just a few games, but with college baseball (a very long season for collegiate sports, but very short for baseball) a trip below 0 might mean the difference between making post season, and just making due.
