LOS ANGELES -- For the second consecutive series a Los Angeles Dodgers opponent ran the balk flag up the pole, and manager Dave Roberts is growing impatient with it.
Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon called the move to first base by Dodgers rookie pitcher Julio Urias "Balking 101." In the opening round series against the Washington Nationals, their manager Dusty Baker said that Clayton Kershaw's move to first base is a balk.
"You know what, for us, and I have said it all along, is for us to all eliminate noise," Roberts said before Game 4 on Wednesday.
