<p>On Sunday, Dave Ortiz crushed three-run home run in the third inning to give the Red Sox an early 3-0 lead.</p>
<p>As you will see in the .GIF, Ortiz took his sweet time admiring his shot and sauntering his way around the bases.</p>
<p><img src=“https://d3j5vwomefv46c.cloudfront.net/photos/large/861689123.gif”></p>
<p>It takes Ortiz nearly 10 seconds to get from the batters box to first base. The rest of his trot was just as slow.</p>

<p>Chris Archer, the pitcher who gave up the home run, was none to pleased with Ortiz’s theatrics.</p>

<p>Ortiz’s comments are puzzling because not too long ago, <a href=“http://www.sportingnews.com/mlb/story/2014-05-31/war-of-words-between-ortiz-price-escalates”>he was the one making declarations of war</a> against the Rays. </p>
