Padres News: Nick Martinez Hilariously Impersonates Fernando Tatis Jr Mid-Game

Nick got himself a new look during Wednesday's matchup

After grabbing the first of three against the Kansas City Royals, your San Diego Padres dropped the last two and will go into their off-day four games under .500 and fourth in the NL West. The Padres have not played good baseball, but the team is doing its best to light up the mood.

During their match on Wednesday, the game was tied at zero in the third inning, and the camera panned to the Padres dugout. In the dugout, you could see someone wearing a wig, helmet, and shades impersonating Padres superstar Fernando Tatis Jr; come to find out, it's Padres RHP Nick Martinez.

Martinez had pitched on Monday and Tuesday of this series, so Wednesday was his day off. The 32-year-old was enjoying himself on the bench and decided to impersonate the 24-year-old superstar. You could tell teammates around Nick found it funny, and it was. Martinez has a short buzz cut, but if he decided to grow his hair out, he wouldn't look too bad. 

There's no harm in having fun, regardless of the situation for the Friars, and it's nice to see the Padres are still loose in the dugout. The Padres didn't get the job done on Wednesday, but they have plenty of opportunities to get back on track.
