The Philadelphia Phillies are furious over Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski's controversial All-Star selection, deeming it a joke. Misiorowski's selection, after only five starts, surpasses the previous record. The Phillies argue that their own pitchers, Christopher Sánchez and Ranger Suárez, who boast superior stats, were unfairly snubbed despite Zack Wheeler opting out. Teammates expressed their disapproval, noting Sánchez and Suárez's outstanding performances and suggesting their exclusion was due to scheduling conflicts and a lack of willingness to pitch a single inning in the All-Star game, something both players reportedly declined.
