Phillies players rip decision to put Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski in All-Star Game

The MLB on FOX crew discus what Shohei Ohtani's pitching expectations are for the 2025 season.

The selection of Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski to the MLB All-Star Game after only five career starts drew immense backlash from some players in the league.

Philadelphia Phillies defended their own as they began to learn that Misiorowski was given the nod over players like Trea Turner, Ranger Suárez and Cristopher Sánchez.

"What a joke. That’s f--- terrible. I mean, that’s terrible, dude," Turner said on Friday night, via The Athletic.

Phillies star Nick Castellanos said he remembered what former reliever Craig Kimbrel told him once when it came to the MLB All-Star Game, "It’s turning into the Savannah Bananas."

Turner was asked whether the Misiorowski nod "cheapens" the selection.

"Yeah, 100%. I mean, it’s not the All-Star Game in the sense that the best players go there, or people who have had the best season. It’s whoever sells the most tickets or has been put on social media the most. That’s essentially what it’s turned into," Turner added.

Misiorowski has been electric since he made his debut. He has a 2.81 ERA and 33 strikeouts, with his only blemish being an outing against the New York Mets on July 2.
