Dave Roberts on Donald Trump's World Series second-guess: 'That's one man's opinion' image

One of the postgame questions for Dodgers manager Dave Roberts on Saturday night had to do with an in-game second-guess by President Donald Trump.

Trump tweeted his take (one shared by a lot of fans) after seeing Roberts pull LA starter Rich Hill with one out in the seventh inning and the Dodgers leading the Red Sox 4-0. The Sox went on to score nine runs against LA's relief corps and win Game 4 of the World Series 9-6.

Reporters relayed Trump's tweet to Roberts, who provided this as part of his reply:

And the complete exchange:

Roberts told reporters separately that Hill told him to monitor him during the seventh inning.

Roberts and the Dodgers will try to keep the Series going in Game 5 on Sunday night (8:15 p.m., Fox). LA trails the best-of-seven series three games to one.
