However, the Philadelphia Phillies and their fans have a bone to pick with the player selection process. More specifically, their gripe is aimed at the Milwaukee Brewers rookie ace Jacob Misiorowski.

Jacob Misiorowski, the Milwaukee Brewers’ rookie right-hander, finally addressed the storm surrounding his All-Star selection after just five major league starts. And the flame-thrower didn’t just make the National League All-Star roster – he ignited a full-blown controversy that has Philadelphia Phillies players questioning everything they thought they knew about All-Star selections.

With the top four advancing from the first round, Raleigh tied Brent Rooker (17 home runs) for fourth. The tiebreaker was based on longest home run distance, meaning Raleigh (470.61 feet) advanced, while Rooker (470.53) was eliminated. To be clear: .08 feet is .96 inches. Raleigh advanced by less than one inch.
