Take a pitch

Welcome back DC!

Well, it looks like the Mets accept the declaration at the top of this blog page that all advice we offer should be followed to the letter.. I posted the other day my gripe that Mets were not taking pitches and driving up count. Here's the latest from the Post:

"After watching Jeff Suppan dominate them over eight innings in Game 3, the Mets decided to wait out rookie righty Anthony Reyes in Game 4. The approach Beltran talked about worked, as Reyes was spent after four innings and 86 pitches.

"What we did do was put [Game 3] behind us, and we went out there with, you know, a clean slate, with a good approach, different from [Saturday] night," Delgado said Sunday. "We took a lot of pitches. We made their guy work.

"He probably had 75 pitches by the third inning. We saw a lot of pitches and made him throw a lot of pitches and we got some guys on that came up with some big hits in key situations."
