What happened

Abner Uribe was feeling himself on Tuesday night.

Why it matters

But the Brewers right-hander said he did it to defend his teammates.

Common ground

The late-inning reliever whipped out a version of the “suck it” crotch chop — made famous in the 1990s by the D-Generation X faction in WWF — after striking out Cardinals first baseman Alec Burleson to end the top of the eighth in a 6-0 Milwaukee win.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
