Wake Up With Adam Jones Robbing Manny Machado Of A Home Run In The WBC

Nothing to see here, just two Orioles legends and free agents engaging in some friendly competition from the most recent World Baseball Classic. Manny Machado at the plate for the Dominican Republic, Tyler Clippard on the bump, you know how this usually ends.

Machado spanks one, I mean he really gives it a ride to right center. He pimps it a little bit, holds the batt out, nothing too fancy. Jones begins retreating immediately and sizes up the wall in San Diego. He times the leap PERFECT and has to fight off about 10 fans for the ball. Jones reaches out, snags the ball, bangs into the wall and brings it home. He glides right off the wall right into a high five with right fielder, Andrew McCutchen. Crowd goes crazy, Matty V has a great call for the player, Manny raises his helmet to acknowledge the catch, quite the scene.

I have a framed picture of this in my basement, not just because it was such an awesome play, not just because they were both Orioles, but it was for the faces in the background.

This guy right here in my favorite, I'm still not sure that he wasn't photoshopped in. A gigantic play happening 4 feet from him and he's still thinking about Todd from Wedding Crashers. No way that guy is real.

Enjoy your weekend, friends.
