Hello and welcome from the 2025 NLCS celebration thread right after the Dodgers clinched their spot in the World Series after Shohei Ohtani had arguably the greatest indvidual performance in a baseball game ever, much less in the playoffs, to clinch a sweep of the Brewers in Game 4.
You will be shocked to learn he was indeed the MVP on the strength of that performance.

Will probably update this tomorrow after I find more stuff, but I need to sleep.

In terms of interviews and what not after the clincher, well Mookie Betts basically had the theme of things, which is they were happy about advancing, but they’re really focused on four more wins.
“The job’s not done.”

He did talk about Shohei, comparing him to Michael Jordan and the Dodgers to the Bulls.
“We’re like the Bulls and he’s Michael Jordan.”

Dave Roberts reiterated that stance, and also made everybody mad, ragebaiting about all the “ruining baseball” crap.
