Fernandez posed after connecting, stared down the Atlanta Braves dugout, and took his sweet-ass time rounding the bases.

This didn’t sit well with the Braves, of course, especially third baseman Chris Johnson. Upon reaching home plate, Fernandez was confronted by catcher Brian McCann and the benches emptied before cooler heads prevailed.

The Marlins pitcher apologized for acting like such a showboat after the game, which is disappointing. Baseball needs all the professional wrestling-like heels it can get.
