What Satchel Paige Said

It doesn’t pay for the White Sox to look back, not after a sweep by the Dodgers (except maybe for the two hits, one a homerun, from Brooks Baldwin in last night’s 6-2 loss). Better to look ahead to the next series, with the Rockies. In what actually qualifies as a smart move, GM Chris Getz has called up shortstop Colson Montgomery, who should sport the nickname of Mr. Rollercoaster. The lefthand-hitting Montgomery arrives on a 10-for-18 tear for Triple-A Charlotte, with four homers, seven RBIs and ten runs scored. Here’s what I mean by rollercoaster—all that lifted Montgomery’s BA to .218. Hmm. At the risk of repeating myself until I turn blue in the face, Getz bring up Tim Elko while he’s at it. Why not jumpstart two careers instead of just one?
