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.

The casual ending was rather nice.

It was 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 while on the field 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 Hernandez also knows his role.

Then … well, the celebration.

——

Great stuff from state media to start.

Teoscar was 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.

He was … let’s say, excited.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto got it from all directions.

Shohei Ohtani was trying to drown Will Smith.

This was his first celebration this year since he was injured for the clincher.

Miggy wished Mookie a happy birthday.

It was tough for him, lol.

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

Enrique got her, tho.

Thankfully, it was nicer than his Vassegh interview.

“Nice nipples.“

Here’s a scene you probably wouldn’t have predicted:

Same for this:

This was a fun clip.

Which transitions into photo time perfectly.

Even Osamu Yada got it.

I’ll add more as we go along, and you can share others in the comments.

See you Sunday.
