“What joke. It’s f — terrible. I mean it’s terrible, guy,” Turner said Friday night via 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 turns into the Savannah bananas.”
Turner was asked if Misiorowski nods the “cheaper” choice.
“Yes, 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 the one that sells the most tickets or has been put on social media the most. It is essential what it has become,” Turner added.
Misiorowski has been electric since he debuted. He has a 2.81 era and 33 strikes, with his only spot an excursion against the New York Mets on July 2nd.

He received support from his manager Pat Murphy and Los Angeles Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts in the middle of the rebellion.
“People want to see Miz Pitch,” Murphy said. “He’s the new shining toy in the league. It’s not deserving it has nothing to do with it. He’s got this opportunity. It’s not his fault.
“This wasn’t a flight-after-night decision. This is something they thought through. I think it would be really hard for the child to say no to it.”
Roberts said the nod will add some “more excitement” to the All-Star game.
Murphy compared Misiorowski to the former Detroit Tigers jug Mark “The Bird” Fidrych, who benefited from fans because of his idiosyncrasies on the haug. He was an all-star the first two seasons in his career.

“From what I know about the bird, it looks like he was really authentic and really super talented,” Murphy said. “There are some parallels there with certainty.”
