Abner Uribe was fired up.
So was Pat Murphy – albeit in a different way.
Uribe capped his inning-ending strikeout of St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Alec Burleson with a double crotch chop celebration directed directly toward the visiting dugout.
The ever-passionate Uribe typically ends his outings with some sort of outward expression of emotion, but this one reached a different height.
As he walked off the field, his manager came up off the top step and stood on the dirt warning track looking like a stern parent. Murphy had some words for Uribe as he walked past him and into the dugout.
Previously in the inning, Uribe challenged a pitch outside the strike zone for the first ABS challenge issued by a Brewers pitcher all year. Later, Uribe was seen exchanging words with Cardinals catcher Ivan Herrera during their at-bat.
