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 Surez and Cristopher Snchez.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"What a joke. Thats f--- terrible. I mean, thats 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, "Its turning into the Savannah Bananas."Turner was asked whether the Misiorowski nod "cheapens" the selection."Yeah, 100%. I mean, its not the All-Star Game in the sense that the best players go there, or people who have had the best season. Its whoever sells the most tickets or has been put on social media the most. Thats essentially what its 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.YANKEES SLUGGER AARON JUDGE HITS MILESTONE HOME RUN AT BLISTERING FAST PACEHe received support from his manager Pat Murphy and Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts amid the uproar."People want to see Miz pitch," Murphy said. "Hes the new shiny toy in the league. Its not deserving, that has nothing to do with it. Hes been given this opportunity. Its not his fault."This wasnt a fly-by-night decision. This is something they thought through. I think it would be really tough for the kid to say no to that."Roberts said the nod will add some "more excitement" to the All-Star Game.Murphy likened Misiorowski to former Detroit Tigers pitcher Mark "The Bird" Fidrych, who gained favor with the fans because of his idiosyncrasies on the mound. He was an All-Star the first two seasons of his career."From what I know of The Bird, it just seems that he was really authentic and really super talented," Murphy said. "Theres some parallels there for sure."The Associated Press contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
