It's growing difficult to downplay Colson Montgomery's su...

A couple weeks ago on the Sox Machine Podcast, I offered the idea that Colson Montgomery hasn’t quite been right since missing a few games for a back injury in the first half of June, which Josh helpf

Based on Will Venable's pregame comments Tuesday, it sounds like he's also considering it more of a corporeal concern.

"[Mental breaks are] something that's always on the table as a solution for guys. I just don't think that we're there yet with him, or that we're going to get there with him," Venable told reporters.

"First of all, he went through this really tough stretch and he had some really good swings on our last road trip. So I get the question and the bigger body of work maybe recently. But I think that right now he's in a good spot.

It's certainly one of the sophomore slumps of all time.

They called me crazy for saying he's hurt and pressing at the plate to compensate.

CM needs a reset and a break

It has been painful to watch and I feel bad for the guy. If he had back issues then rest him

Otherwise he needs to concentrate on contact and not to drive everything out of the park. His performance is key to establishing the Sox as a legit post season contender. I wonder how many runners he failed to drive in.

it's so obvious that he has 1 swing only, would be nice to see him make adjustments after 2 strikes. if the coaches aren't telling him this then we need new coaches quite frankly

Colson is a 2 outcome player. Strikeout or Home run. I wish he would learn how to lay off bad pitches but he just can't at this point and then we will look at one right down the middle.

4 homers to opposite field last year, 0 this year

Last night was the first time where I thought it looked like he was just throwing away his plate appearances due to his head not really being in the game at all. I don't mean it like he wasn't putting forth effort or anything, but in the sense that he looked like he really had no idea what he was doing. Made me wonder if he's the one about to go on bereavement leave.

True, needs to do it more. That how you bust out of a slump.

I don't want to make fun of you because I think you have a learning disability. Like genuinely.

On the radio side, weeks ago DJ was saying that Colson needs to work on hitting the ball the opposite way to help him break out of this. I remember thinking don't they have coaches to work on that with him?
