Brewers pitcher Abner Uribe gets a one-game suspension for crotch-chopping celebration

Brewers pitcher Abner Uribe gets a one-game suspension for crotch-chopping celebration
100%
The [Milwaukee Brewers](https://www.foxnews.com/category/sports/mlb/milwaukee-brewers) will be without pitcher Abner Uribe for one game after he was suspended for breaking one of baseball's biggest unwritten rules: Never direct a Kenny Powers/[D-Generation X](https://www.foxnews.com/category/organization/wwe) crotch chop at the opposing dugout. .No, not even if it was very funny. [**ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!**](https://link.podtrac.com/dmwdd_article) Uribe hit the iconic celebration this weekend after an inning-ending strikeout against the [St. Louis Cardinals](https://www.foxnews.com/category/sports/mlb/st-louis-cardinals). Maybe a bit much when you're up 6-0. Brewers' manager Pat Murphy did not condone the celebration, and [Uribe himself apologized for it](https://www.foxnews.com/outkick-sports/brewers-pitcher-abner-uribe-apologizes-controversial-strikeout-celebration-sparks-backlash). "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," Uribe 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." Well, that should be enough in my book. Who hasn't gotten wound up in the [heat of competition and chopped](https://www.foxnews.com/outkick-sports/minor-league-pitcher-throws-wild-nsfw-celebration-catching-soft-line-drive-) their crotch at an opponent? I almost did it on Memorial Day while playing some game on Netflix. But, nope. [**SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS OUTFIELDERS GET TORCHED ONLINE FOR BIZARRE CELEBRATION FOLLOWING WIN OVER DODGERS**](https://www.foxnews.com/outkick-sports/san-francisco-giants-outfielders-get-torched-online-bizarre-celebration-following-win-dodgers) I think I can live with that punishment. The MLB has to do something. I mean, they've already got the [San Francisco Giants](https://www.foxnews.com/category/sports/mlb/san-francisco-giants) hip-thrusting in the outfield; the last thing they need is players feeling like they have carte blanche to crotch chop. Uribe — who was also hit with an undisclosed fine, per [MLB](https://www.mlb.com/news/abner-uribe-suspended-one-game-for-inappropriate-actions-vs-cardinals) — is appealing the decision, and I could not be more interested in seeing how that plays out for him. There's really no doubt about it: he crotch-chopped at the opposing dugout. But perhaps he has an explanation.
