Phillies Slam MLB’s Controversial All-Star Pick: Why Misiorowski Over Sánchez and Suárez Has Everyone Talking
The chief objection among the Phillies’ gripers is that Misiorowski was named to the team despite making only five starts in his fledgling major-league career. Compare that to Sánchez, who has made 18 starts while collecting a 2.59 ERA and 7-2 record with 116 strikeouts in 107 2/3 innings. Suárez has a 1.94 ERA, 7-3 record and 78 strikeouts in 83 2/3 innings.
Both pitchers were reportedly offered All-Star nods by MLB if they agreed to pitch on Tuesday, but each of them declined, opting to rest instead. In Sánchez’s case, that decision cost him a $200,000 bonus in his contract.
