It is no secret, California is liberal. Just look at past election results to see California pulling for whoever was running for Democrat. It is safe to say California has been in political frustration with current President, Donald Trump and his eye-opening Twitter account. However, residents in Los Angeles did the unthinkable on Saturday night when the President took to Twitter to complain about something every Los Angeles Dodgers fan was also complaining about… Dave Roberts and his managing of the bullpen during the 2018 World Series.
During a critical Game 4, Roberts pulled Rich Hill after pitching 6.1 innings only allowing 1 run on 1 hit. The Dodger bullpen would go on to give up 8 runs in a 9-6 loss to the Boston Red Sox and just like that, the Dodgers find themselves in a bind needing to win 3 games in a row, 2 being on the road in Boston… a baseball death sentence. Trump agreed.
“Big mistake!” was tweeted by the President and no Dodger fans have disagreed so far. The Dodgers were destined to tie the series up 2 games to 2… and then the unraveling happened after Hill left the mound. Faster than the fireworks at Disneyland down the road, the Dodgers lead in Game 4 went “poof.” A complete and “shellacking” as the President referred it to.
The President’s use of Twitter has caused an uproar of responses from fans, analysts, and political junkies. The President tweeted about the baseball game just 11 hours after 11 people were shot and killed in a shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue. Even Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was asked about the tweet. Roberts, classily responded, “ I’m happy he was tuning in … I don’t think he was privy to the conversation. That’s one man’s opinion.”
The Red Sox now lead the series 3-1 and are a win away from winning their 4th World Series in 14 years. Game 5 will take place on Sunday, October 28 at 5:15 p.m. PST from Dodger Stadium.
