Lance McCullers' greatest fear after giving up a homer to Yoenis Cespedes? Being made into a GIF

As humans, we fail all the time. We drop our phone into the toilet, we spill hot sauce on our brand new white shirt, we hit our toe on the edge of the bed and hop around on one foot like an idiot cursing the world. Fortunately, most of these moments aren't captured on camera for the world to see. We're usually by ourselves and, let's face it, nobody really cares.
But if you're a professional baseball player, everything you do on the baseball field is recorded. Your triumphs and your failures. It'll be all over the internet. So, when Lance McCullers gave up a dinger to Yoenis Céspedes during the Astros' 5-2 win over the Mets on Sunday, you can understand why this was the first through running through his head:


But look, Lance, we cut it so you're not even in it! Nobody will ever know.

There are some good GIFs of you out there, too. Maybe just focus on those:

Hope that makes you feel a little better.
