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 NLCS MVP on the strength of that performance.

World Series, here comes the Dodgers.
======
After they clinched, they had reactions and interviews and what not before they went down into the clubhouse.
Dave Roberts 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."
