Ten games under .500 just has a different feel to it, huh? Life doesn’t seem too bad at six or seven games under; it’s not hard to imagine a team ripping of seven wins out of eight and getting right back into it in those scenarios.

But ten? Ten is rough. You fall ten games under in May and you’re in serious risk of becoming one of baseball’s irrelevant teams. And while the Sox have been bad in my lifetime, they’ve never really been irrelevant.

Sonny Gray takes the hill today to get the team back to nine under. That’s much of a goal, but it’s something.
