For one fleeting moment, those liberal elites waxing their surfboards out in Los Angeles and President Donald Trump actually found a rare bit of common ground: What in the name of Vin Scully was Dodgers manager Dave Roberts thinking?

With a four-run lead and starter Rich Hill in complete cruise-control Saturday, the underdog Dodgers appeared destined to tie up the World Series at two games apiece. Then, in a real head-scratcher, Roberts turned to his relievers and it all unraveled in a 9-6 loss that put the men in blue on the brink of elimination.

Let the armchair managing begin... with the president:

As icky as it must have felt for this decidedly blue corner of the country, Dodgers fans had to admit, Trump wasn’t wrong. The internet had already been blowing up with cries of overmanagement. The game was theirs, and — poof! — with one quick gesture to the bullpen, hope was all but lost.

Here’s Roberts reacting to the news of Trump’s tweet:

Separately, Ryan Madson, the Dodgers pitcher who served up a devastating three-run homer, reportedly got a kick out of the president’s tweet.

“That’s amazing,” he said, smiling. “Everybody has their opinion. They don’t know what it feels like. But it’s O.K. Everybody’s entitled to their opinion. It’s fine. I’m sure there’s a lot of fans that said the same thing.”

He got that right. The slams echoing Trump’s take just kept piling up.

After all, Hill had thrown only 91 pitches, and he was hurling a one-hitter against the ferocious Red Sox lineup. Roberts explained later that his lefty starter had told him to “keep an eye on me,” which raised a yellow flag to the manager and led to the questionable call.

But that wasn’t good enough.

Ultimately, however, the united state of second-guessing Roberts soon gave way to the inevitable critique of the president’s questionable timing.

Even Hill himself thought Trump should have had other things on his mind. “There was a mass shooting yesterday,” he told the Los Angeles Times on Sunday. “I understand you’re watching the World Series, but there was a huge tragedy that happened. 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.”

Others, however, acknowledged the Machiavellian nature of the tweet:

Roberts and the Dodgers will get a chance at redemption in a must-win Game 5 Sunday. We’ll see if they take the WWTD (What Would Trump Do?) approach.
