Milwaukee Brewers rookie phenom Jacob Misiorowski's appointment as a replacement on the National League roster for Tuesday's MLB All-Star Game was met with skepticism from some pundits. The decision was even met with some backlash, most notably from the Philadelphia Phillies, who believed they had at least one pitcher deserving of receiving the nod over the still-green Misiorowski, who has just five career games under his belt.
But Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who will also be managing Misiorowski as the NL's manager at the All-Star Game, sees reason in MLB's decision to include the Brewers famelthrowing rookie in the Midsummer Classic.
