Abner Uribe was feeling himself on Tuesday night. <\/p>\n

His manager was none too pleased. <\/p>\n

But the Brewers right-hander said he did it to defend his teammates.<\/p>\n

The late-inning reliever whipped out a version of the \u201csuck it\u201d crotch chop \u2014 made famous in the 1990s by the D-Generation X faction in WWF<\/a> \u2014 after striking out Cardinals first baseman Alec Burleson to end the top of the eighth in a 6-0 Milwaukee win. <\/p>\n

After the game, Uribe alleged that Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol signaled in the prior game to hit certain Brewers players.<\/p>\n

Uribe got the first two outs of the inning before yielding a four-pitch walk to Iv\u00e1n Herrera and a single to Jordan Walker.<\/p>\n

After the count went full to Burleson, Uribe got him looking with a low slider, which led to the three pumps chop celebration. Burleson challenged the call, and luckily for the Brewers reliever, the call was upheld. <\/p>\n

Milwaukee skipper Pat Murphy didn\u2019t mince words after the game \u2014 he didn\u2019t like what he saw. At all.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s unacceptable. Just unacceptable,\u201d Murphy told reporters<\/a> in his postgame press conference. \u201cI don\u2019t know what got over him, he\u2019s been an emotional guy, but that kind of thing, that\u2019s just not how we do things. I was embarrassed by it. Why are we doing it in a 6-0 game? What are we doing? There must be something deeper that I don\u2019t know about.\u201d<\/p>\n

Murphy said that he does like Uribe but that he just won\u2019t tolerate that type of celebration on the field. He said he talked to Uribe and speculated MLB could punish him in some shape or form.<\/p>\n

Uribe said through an interpreter after the game that he owed an apology to his teammates and coaching staff after the game and that he understood the chop was \u201cunacceptable.\u201d <\/p>\n

Nevertheless, he said Marmol apparently gestured on Monday that he wanted to hit Brewers players, so he wanted to have his Milwaukee teammates\u2019 backs. He said there was an event before the game that also led to him expressing himself through the celebration, but he did not elaborate on what the event was.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s very professional for them to be making gestures like that,\u201d Uribe said through the interpreter. \u201cAnd I don\u2019t think it\u2019s right for any of my guys to be going out there with any sort of fear in their heads that we may be getting thrown at or they can\u2019t play the game the way they want to be able to play.\u201d<\/p>\n

Herrera, who was on second during the celebration, called the chop \u201cdisrespectful\u201d but hoped the Cardinals \u201ctake care of it and we move on,\u201d according to the Belleville News-Democrat<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The teams play again on Wednesday afternoon, and this should add some extra intrigue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Abner Uribe was feeling himself on Tuesday night.
