St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said he warned the Milwaukee Brewers about relaying signs from the dugout during Tuesday night\u2019s game, a situation that came to a head when Milwaukee reliever Abner Uribe gestured<\/a> toward the St. Louis dugout with three WWE-style crotch chops after an inning-ending strikeout in the eighth.<\/p>\n

Uribe, speaking through an interpreter, said after the game that he believed Marmol had been making signs that led him to believe were meant to direct Cardinals pitchers to hit Brewers batters with pitches, in particular outfielder Christian Yelich and catcher William Contreras.<\/p>\n

Speaking with reporters before a Wednesday afternoon matchup between the teams, Marmol initially said he didn\u2019t have a reaction to Uribe\u2019s accusations.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019d rather not blow anything out of proportion,” Marmol said. “I think it already has been, to be quite honest with you.”<\/p>\n

When pressed further about the matter, he responded.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve got no issues telling you the full story, but I just think, like anything these days, it gets blown up. This is like an everyday occurrence,” Marmol said. “We felt like [the Brewers] were being pretty demonstrative about relaying signs from the dugout.”<\/p>\n

Marmol said that\u2019s when he mouthed and gestured to the Brewers’ dugout.<\/p>\n

“I looked over, and I said, \u2018Hey, you gotta do it, be smart, you\u2019re gonna get somebody hurt,\u2019” Marmol said, while pointing to his ribs. “Like, \u2018What we trying to do here?\u2019 That was it.”<\/p>\n

Marmol said there was also an incident involving an unnamed Brewers coach before the game concerning the sign-relaying issue. That same coach and Marmol spoke after the game, according to Marmol, who said he hadn\u2019t had any discussions with Brewers manager Pat Murphy, who condemned Uribe\u2019s antics, calling it “unacceptable.”<\/p>\n

When asked if the matter was settled, Marmol said: “I have no reason to think it\u2019s not. Usually, you just don\u2019t get that type of demonstrative reaction that spurs further questions. That\u2019s just the reality of it. But we have those types of interaction daily across the league.”<\/p>\n

Yelich, speaking in the Brewers’ clubhouse on Wednesday, described Uribe\u2019s gesture as “a little bit over the top.”<\/p>\n

“Obviously, I don\u2019t think the strikeout celebration is something we need to be doing,” Yelich said. “He\u2019s a guy that always has his teammates’ backs. I appreciate where he was coming from on it, but I think there\u2019s a different way to handle that situation, and he knows that.”<\/p>\n

Yelich also said there has been “some stuff going on during the series that I don\u2019t really know why it was going on,” but declined to elaborate.<\/p>\n

Yelich said the Brewers didn\u2019t want the matter to distract from their performance on the field. Milwaukee has taken the first two games of the series.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve all addressed it, and we\u2019ll move on and have it not become a big distraction,” he said.<\/p>\n
