Ask anyone to describe Brett Anderson’s demeanor -- his teammates, his coaches, the men who decided to give him $10 million plus a bunch of incentives to pitch for the Dodgers this year -- and the one word they usually agree on is “quiet.”
It’s the kind of emotional makeup you would want for someone who will become the first visiting pitcher to start a playoff game at Citi Field on Monday. The New York Mets’ home park will not be quiet. Its capacity is listed at 45,000 for baseball, and Game 3 of the National League Division Series will be the first postseason baseball game it has hosted in six years of existence.
