Seems intense. Like, wired, intense. A BLM shirt and a handgun necklace might get some attention.

Intense is the perfect word. I think Marcus is a gun guy, btw. I've seen a couple shots of him on IG at shooting ranges. Was a little relieved to hear he doesn't hate Pillar.

"Marcus, why don't you pound some Monster energy drinks and go talk to the media?"

Hard to tell if he is is intense, angry, or both.

Thought you had mixed this up with one of my favorite adult films, "Meat Marcus."

"High-strung" is another good word. Sometimes, the intensity is put to good purpose-- standing up to bullies, getting righteously righteous-- and sometimes, it's silly shit. But he does keep it interesting. Give him a league-average infield this season, and I think dude can surprise.

With that build and that energy and the Long Island roots, seems like he'd be a good bet to pursue the soccer route to athletic glory. And ... hey, look. The high-energy observation is nothing new.

Hard to tell if he is is intense, angry, or both. I do think it's hard to express how discombobulating the whole "on the line" thing is if you're not used to it. Not sure if he's able to see them or not. I don't like the guns but I'm ok with the BLM. I definitely think there's a bit of a 'people don't give me respect' in his head - in fairness if you're a short pitcher you've been told you can't succeed since day 1 so it takes a lot to have got there.

It's interesting to talk about his intense delivery, because beneath that, it's hard to plug more cliches-per-sentence into one's answers than he did.

that is the best male blonding I have seen since Piazza. I am very excited.

I think he is a bright guy who understands at some level that he's possessed of ridiculous self-delusion and persecution that he needs as fuel to succeed. That said exhibiting it the way he does strikes me as a questionable mindset. Baseball has a way of devouring over-the-top bravado

Y'know, unless you're taking fun vacation or food 'Gram photos or whatnot.

This is kinda backing what Duan said, but I bet a large chunk of his bravado is a life's worth of being told you're too short, you don't throw hard enough, and I would bet at some point or points, he's been treated differently than some of his white counterparts along the way. He may have a lot of valid reasons for chips on his shoulder.

Lefty Specialist Feb 19 2021 11:37 AM Re: Meet Marcus

Just hope that he's focused on the mound. He's got a lot going on from the necklace up.

Outspoken and thin skinned usually doesn't end well.
