Ricky O'Donnell @rickyodonn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026White Sox have had the bases loaded with 0 or 1 outs for Vargas, Murakami, and Colson Montgomery in this game, scored zero runs, and still lead 5-0. Okay. 1100
Ricky O'Donnell @rickyodonn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The White Sox have been around for 126 years, and Colson Montgomery hit more dingers this season than any shortstop in franchise history. I get why many fans have beef with him, but IDK that seems cool 1110
