Just a couple days ago, the Dodgers had a mild celebration after clinching a spot in the 2018 playoffs. Now though, they had another mild celebration after clinching the 2018 NL West crown for the sixth consecutive season.

Dave Roberts talked with Alanna Rizzo after the game about the guy on the mound and stuff.

Confident dude.

Money quote from #Dodgers Walker Buehler when asked if he knew he was going to win today: "I won't say 'Yes.' (pause) But, yes."

Enrique Hernandez doesn’t seem to mind.

Alright, let's do this.

Enrique Hernandez on Walker Buehler: "He's got that 'F— you' mentality that you want to see as a teammate."

“We have zero problem with Walker being the cocky motherfucker that he is,” Kiké Hernández said.

Neither does Clayton Kershaw.

Swearing was a theme, and Buehler is good at it.

Oops.

Walker Buehler on dropping another f-bomb on a live mic: "I have some problems with that. I apologize to all the children, all the parents, all listening ears. But I’m from Kentucky. We don’t really hold back when we’re a little excited."

When the on-field celebration was over, it was time to get things underway in the locker room.

Chase Utley gave the speech.

Yasiel Puig is confident.

He loves Walker.

Perhaps my favorite moment of the tail end of the celebration is Yasiel Puig talking about Walker Buehler with Alanna Rizzo, then he sees Buehler and the reaction and response is priceless. Enjoy.#Dodgers pic.twitter.com/IPUG2OYbTI

Cody Bellinger appreciates the fans…
