During a recent game against the Milwaukee Brewers, St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol expressed concerns over the Brewers relaying signs from their dugout. This situation escalated when Brewers reliever Abner Uribe performed provocative gestures, which he claimed were prompted by Marmol's signs, suggesting they were intended to incite Cardinals pitchers to hit Brewers players, specifically outfielder Christian Yelich and catcher William Contreras. Marmol downplayed the incident, stating it was blown out of proportion and that he merely cautioned the Brewers about the potential risks of their sign-relaying. He also mentioned a prior discussion with a Brewers coach regarding the same issue. Yelich, while acknowledging Uribe's intent to protect his teammates, described the gesture as excessive and emphasized the need to avoid distractions. Both teams are focused on their performance, with the Brewers currently leading the series 2-0.
