The White Sox Continue Their Brilliant Strategy Of Marketing The Future Of The Organization By Promoting Jacob Gonzalez' Poor Minor League Stats

So White Sox fans hate the White Sox at like a 9 out of 10 level. It'd be a 10/10 if not for the news that they're "seriously considering" moving to the South Loop into INCREDIBLE new digs: 

It's for real the first time in legit years that White Sox fans have praised the White Sox for anything at all. 

The White Sox were going to have NONE of that though. On the heels of the massive news dump that was a move to the South Loop, they decided to promote their first 2023 1st round pick's pro debut. Ya know, get the fanbase going even MORE for what's to come in the future. 

I mean the kid DOES have a bright future, right? First round pick, stud in the SEC, up the middle player, blah blah blah. Everything you'd like about a prospect. MARKET THE SHIT OUT OF HIM ON SOCIAL MEDIA!!!! 

Oh wait, he had a pretty brutal pro debut… and it's not even that they're showing off an abysmal offensive output, albeit in a pretty meaningless sample after a long college season, it's that they followed up with a fucking roll over grounder to the left side of the infield as the highlight to promote him with: 

The baseball might have had an exit velo of 60 MPH. MIGHT HAVE. 

Like… wtf are we doing here guys. Yeah, nobody with a brain is calling it quits on him after like 70 pro at bats or whatever he had last summer, but when your consumer base detests your product as much as Sox fans detest the Sox right now, you just CANNOT feed us layups like this.

As I said, nobody hates the White Sox more than White Sox fans right now and because we hate them, we laugh at them more than anybody. I'd imagine the White Sox don't want us laughing at them like we do, so they should probably stop doing idiotic shit like this. 

It's Kobe to Shaq for us
