Dodgers manager Dave Roberts admits using Manny Machado drama as a 'diversion' for his team

Early in their NLDS, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts accused Manny Machado of throwing a baseball "directed at me with something behind it." 

Apparently, it was all gamesmanship.

Roberts first discussed the incident Monday, about 24 hours after the San Diego Padres had smacked around the Dodgers in their own ballpark for a 10-2 win in Game 2 of the series.

The incident occurred during that game, and tempers had flared between Machado and Jack Flaherty during the game.
