Pitch count

I've never seen a team as ineffective as Mets at driving up pitch count of opposing pitcher. They clearly do not make this a priority in their approach at the plate at all. This is a problem because (a) it allows opposing starter to stay in game long and (b) results in quick innings that force our starter back out quickly.

Fouling off pitches to drive up count is the least you could do if you're not hitting. Beltran, Wright, Green, Valentin, and Chavez are killing us in this series.
