Can the Sox stop trying a safety squeeze with one out when they clearly can't execute the play? That's two outs just given away (and two runners in scoring position cut down, even worse).

Compact upper body load with a quick toe tap stride. Short swing with a middle of the field approach. Balanced two-handed finish.

From these somewhat trained eyes, it appears Montgomery is guessing a lot at the plate, and the 30% strikeout rate is a direct result. Just go up there hunting fastballs and spit on the offspeed until 2 strikes, and I think the strikeouts shrink and production gets even better.
The strike 3 call on Chisolm was entirely predictable after he "expressed his displeasure" on the second strike call. He needed to be swinging at anything close. He didn't and got punched out. No one to blame but yourself buddy.
