Official Video: Adam Jones Smashed a Helmet w/a Bat Friday & Buck Showalter was Unhappy with Yanks Broadcast

YES Network cameras caught Orioles center fielder Adam Jones beating up his helmet and then throwing his bat in the tunnel under the visitor's dugout at Yankee Stadium Friday night. And AJ heard about it, from mom:

“I got a nice text from my mother saying, ‘I know you are real passionate. I know you care. But stop that. I know mom’s paying attention. She loves her son and she knows that sometimes I get a little frustrated, but, hey, it’s all part of the game and it happens.”



Jones took to Twitter to joke:


“I think it was needed. I hadn’t performed the way I would like to, so, hey, it’s better than me hitting something. It’s bad by the cameras to be all the way down there, I think there’s a certain amount of privacy that we should be able to get. Obviously, if I wanted to do it where everybody could see it I would have done it on the bench. But, hey, a little frustration, I don’t think that ever hurt anybody,” Jones said.

Interestingly, the Post reports that Buck Showalter was not happy...with YES Network:

Orioles manager Buck Showalter met with YES broadcaster Michael Kay and game producer Bill Boland to express his displeasure about an event from Friday night’s telecast.

Lighten up Francis, everyone else has.
