Odubel Herrera knows how to take his time at the plate, and upset broadcasters while doing it.

On Thursday, the Philadelphia Phillies outfielder, who is notorious for taking his time to get into the batter's box after each swing, upset FOX Sports Ohio broadcaster Thom Brennaman.

Brennaman didn't show a particular fondness for Herrera's lackadaisical approach to getting ready to hit.

"You don't let the Odubel Herrera's of the world dictate the pace," he said during the at-bat.

He then thanked God after Herrera's at-bat concluded with a strike out against Reds starter Robert Stephenson.

At one point, Herrera was clocked at taking 29 seconds in-between swings by the broadcaster.
