Diamondbacks pitcher Kevin Ginkel went viral this week for doing something really strange in the ninth inning of Wednesday night’s win over the Braves

In case you missed it, the right hander didn’t like that Ronald Acuña Jr. was taking a very big lead at third so he walked over to him and tried to stare him down while waving his arms at him. The Braves star seemed confused by the whole thing, and rightfully so—his lead shouldn’t have upset Ginkel as much as it look like it did. 

Acuña got the last laugh moments later when he scored on a wild pitch and stared at Ginkel as he crossed home plate. Good for him, too, because this was just some lame behavior from the Arizona reliever.
