Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander is known to speak his mind on social media, mostly responding to critics on Twitter.
Verlander and his new fiancé Kate Upton toured Washington D.C. on Monday with some help from Upton's uncle, Congressman Fred Upton.
Twitter user @JonMoses12 didn't think Verlander should have been taking part in trivial, non-baseball things and called him out.
@JustinVerlander should be working on that sorry ass arm of yours instead of touring the capital

You should be working on your life instead of being a #troll But thanks for the reminder. ???? #dontbemad https://t.co/5WIZYcSwkL
