so first off, I’m a Marte fan. Now that it’s out of the way...
Why is it that people meet the criticism that he receives in Pittsburgh with such disdain? Why is a guy who is 30 and still struggles with the mental and fundamental part of the game beyond criticism?
I don’t know why people think Marte is treated unfairly, but in regards to the people who are frustrated with him, I think they are frustrated because he came here with more tools than the beloved Cutch, but he’s underachieved and will not have the success that McCutchen had. Maybe thats not fair? Maybe expectations were just too high? Maybe he has attention deficit disorder. And if he does, he should be credited for being as good as he is.
