Sometimes, analysts talk out of their asses. Actually, oftentimes, analysts talk out of their asses. MLB Network's Mitch Williams was doing exactly that when he recently tried to use Brandon McCarthy's horrifying head injury as a teaching tool for "pitching in," essentially assigning blame to McCarthy for a freak moment in time — one that he's still recovering from.
"If you don't pitch in, this is what's gonna happen." – Mitch Williams, during a clip of @BMcCarthy32's injury last year.

First, McCarthy fired back in serious fashion…
.@WildThingMLBN I hope the clip of me nearly dying helped you make one of your asinine points.

We'd like to propose a variation of this meme in which we swap the teacher with the example.
How 'bout: If you grow a mullet, this is what's gonna happen…
That still gives me chills.
