Dodgers celebrate their hard-fought 2026 NLDS victory, but they’re already focused on the NLCS

Hello and welcome from the 2026 NLDS celebration thread, which follows the Dodgers clinching their spot in the NLCS after shutting down the Braves in Game 4 of the NLDS. It was a lot less dramatic than last year, but it’s just as great nonetheless.

Thankfully, it ended rather casually.

Not unlike the initial on-field celebration.

Speaking of, Mookie Betts amusingly had to drag Andy Pages away from Ken Rosenthal for the team photo.

The social media team got instant reactions from the players as well

——

Onto the real action, right? Right.

As is tradition, before things got underway, Miguel Rojas had his bell thing ready to go and started with a speech to the players.

Then Dave Roberts gave his speech to the team. Notably he was talking that talk, saying, “We’re smarter, we’re better, and we’re tougher.”

Teoscar Hernandez added some levity by noting that they are also “dinosaurs”.

First time for everything, like Josue De Paula not showing discipline for once.

Enrique also knows his role.

Offical media.

Teoscar Hernandez drinking and toasting with David Ortiz.

Everybody was getting Tarik Skubal and David Vassegh in this one. Some sus moments, lol.

“I got another beer in a place that it shouldn’t be.”

Alright.

Speaking of, he’s feeling the burn.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto got it from all directions.

Shohei Ohtani trying to drown Will Smith.

His first this year since he was injured for the clincher.

Miguel Rojas wishing Mookie Betts a happy birthday.

It was tough for him, lol.

Kirsten Watson talks to Max Muncy while narrowly avoiding being got.

Speaking of, Enrique Hernandez did get her.

Thankfully it was nicer than the Vassegh interview.

“Nice nipples.”

Tyler Glasnow talking about the team’s togetherness.

This was a fun clip.

Which transitions into photo time perfectly.
