8 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 27

Abner Uribe apologized to the Brewers, his teammates and manager Pat Murphy after unleashing WWE-style crotch chops following a strikeout with Milwaukee leading St. Louis 6-0 in the eighth inning.
Murphy said he was "embarrassed" by the display and called it unacceptable given the score, underscoring that the reliever's antics drew criticism from inside his own clubhouse as well as online.
Uribe, 25, also accused Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol of making signs toward Milwaukee's dugout about hitting batters and referenced another practice-field incident, raising fears of retaliation in the rivalry.
The flare-up revived debate over baseball's unwritten rules and whether Uribe has earned that swagger; he entered Tuesday with a 4.42 ERA over 18.1 innings, above his 2.60 career mark.

Was Uribe's taunt a classless outburst, or a justified response to alleged dangerous signs from the opposing dugout?
