Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy was far from pleased with star reliever Abner Uribe after his double "crotch chop" gesture to the St. Louis Cardinals at the end of the eighth inning.

Uribe was one correct challenge away from dealing with the bases loaded with two outs. In a six run game that doesn't seem so bad, but that's exactly why Murphy was upset with Uribe in the first place.

Things went according to plan against the first two batters, but Uribe then allowed a walk and single that made things interesting. He got himself out of the jam and celebrated in only a way Uribe can do.

That celebration crossed the line, and Murphy made sure Uribe was made aware of that. After the game, Uribe issued an apology but also explained why he reacted that way in the first place.

"First and foremost, everyone here knows me and knows who I am, and knows I have a bit of a history of being emotional out there,” he said. “I owe an apology to the Brewers, I owe an apology to my teammates, to my manager, all the bosses of the team. I understand that’s unacceptable to go out there and react in a way like that.”

Even though there hasn't been a single hit by pitch in the first two games of the series, Uribe got wind of something that he thought was going down and made sure to address it through his translator.

"I don’t think it’s professional for their manager to be making signs toward our dugout saying that he’s going to be hitting guys,” Uribe added. "There’s an event that occurred during the practice today, too, and I don’t think that’s right. I have my teammates’ back, always.”

Uribe explained what he believed to have seen from Oliver Marmol was a sign every time Christian Yelich or William Contreras came up to the plate.

"I don’t think it’s very professional for them to be making gestures like that, and I don’t think it’s right for any of my guys to be going out there with any fear in their heads that we may be getting thrown at, or they can’t play the game they want to be able to play,” he said.

The "crotch chop" move is one made famous in the WWE by the "D-Generation X" tag team of Triple H (Paul Levesque) and Shawn Michaels.

Trevor Megill closed out game two as emotions are arguably the highest they've been all season heading into the series finale. It'll be a bullpen game for the Brew Crew as they go up against Dustin May (3-5, 5.00 ERA) in a game that could further the Brewers' 3 1/2-game lead in the NL Central.
