LOS ANGELES — Pitcher Brett Anderson describes himself “as pretty boring, for the most part.” Of course he does. He specializes in misdirection.
In a crowded bar, Anderson would be the one seated in a corner booth, drawing scant notice while scoping out the action, speaking only to make a wry remark that would slay his tablemates.
When it was suggested to Clayton Kershaw that Anderson is a quiet man, he smiled and said, “To you guys.”
Kershaw has known Anderson, who is scheduled to start against the Mets on Monday when the teams’ National League division series moves to Citi Field, longer than any Dodger.
