NEW YORK -- Don't give in to the nibble. The mantra the Los Angeles Dodgers followed in their shellacking of the New York Mets on Thursday night in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series was introduced in the pregame hitters' meeting, carried over into the dugout and manifested itself on the field, where they blitzed the Mets early and never relented in a 10-2 victory.
Mets starter Jose Quintana entered the game with 0.00 ERA this postseason -- and by far the lowest percentage of pitches thrown in the strike zone. He is, in baseball parlance, a nibbler.
