Dodgers' Rich Hill responds to Donald Trump's tweet criticizing Dave Roberts [View all]

A day after the Los Angeles Dodgers lost Game 4 of the World Series, starting pitcher Rich Hill denounced President Trump's critical tweet questioning the Dodgers' strategy.

He said Trump should be more concerned with Saturday's shooting rampage at a Pittsburgh synagogue rather than decisions made by Dodgers manager Dave Roberts.

“There was a mass shooting yesterday," he told reporters. "The focus, in my opinion, of the president is to be on the country, and not on moves that are made in a World Series game.”

Trump was scorned for tweeting about the World Series hours after the synagogue massacre, and he was accused of insensitivity.
