Odubel Herrera is notorious around baseball for taking his sweet time getting into the batter's box, but Washington Nationals ace Max Scherzer wasn't having any of that nonsense on Friday.
An impatient Scherzer dialed up Herrera - who wasn't paying attention or granted time by the home plate umpire - while the Philadelphia Phillies' outfielder was slowly taking his time getting into the box.
Herrera was one of Scherzer's seven strikeouts on the evening.
