Yoshinobu Yamamoto vs. Jose Quintana, 5p.
Jack Flaherty started, and the Dodgers got a shutout in Game 1. Walker Buehler started, and the Dodgers got a shutout in Game 3.
So now it's up to Yoshinobu Yamamoto in Game 4, to see if the Dodgers can keep their non-bullpen-game shutout streak alive here in the 2024 NLCS (that's right, I'm just trying to block Game 2 out of my memory).
Quintana has been great for the Mets this year: 10-10 with a 3.75 ERA during the regular season (2.5 WAR), and 11 innings across two 2024 postseason games in which he hasn't given up an earned run, leading the Mets to two victories (NLWC G3 vs. the Brewers; and NLDS G4 vs. the Phillies). Yamamoto has only gone 8 innings across his two postseason starts, lasting a mere three innings in NLDS G1.
Will Yoshi's story have length tonight? Or will he be shut down by an early boss battle?

Finally! Our best hitter in the cleanup spot! lol
Things I never thought I'd say about Edman.
Ugh, no Freeman. And Pages and Taylor in the 8/9 holes? Holy smokes, that is bold.
CT3 is 0-for-5 in the 2024 postseason, including a 0-for-4 game with 4 Ks (NLDS G4). Are we seriously starting CT3?!
Guessing Doc wanted to put in as many right-handed bats as possible.
Pages batted .357 vs lefties this year. Taylor only .183. I might have flipped them to have a better chance of getting someone on in front of Ohtani. We'll see how it plays out.
i think Roberts will have Taylor bunting all night. i would
this morning i was thinking how the Dodgers haven't had a legit cleanup hitter in a long time. now i see this lineup. smh
Okay I gotta get in a run to take out this tension. I'll be back soon. Hold the fort down for me, Quad and spank!
Let's GOOOOOO
@Spanky You’re probably right about Taylor bunting.
