This week, there’s been a lot of buzz surrounding Manny Machado’s appearance at the Orioles’ minicamp. After season-ending surgery in 2014, the third baseman explained that he’s itching to get back out there.

In just 82 games this season, Machado reminded fans about his flashy, award-winning defense.

He also reminded Albert Pujols … twice.

In the second game of the Birds’ home series against the Angels, Pujols hit a grounder down the third base line. Gary Thorne’s play-by-play call says it all as he yelled, “Look at that arm! Have mercy! … Get that man a quarterback job.”

The very next day, Pujols hit another grounder Machado’s way, and we all knew what was coming as Thorne said, “Oh, boy. Here we go.”

Watch both incredible plays below and check back each week for more memorable moments from 2014.
