Hello and welcome from the 2025 NLCS celebration thread right after the Evaders then clinched their spot in the World Series Shohei Ohtani had perhaps the best individual performance ever in a baseball game, let alone in the playoffs, to sweep the Brewers in Game 4.
You’ll be shocked to learn that he was indeed the MVP based on that performance.

In terms of interviews and what not after the clincher, well Mookie Betts basically had the theme: they were happy with the progress, but they are really focused on four more wins.
“The job isn’t done yet.”

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 echoed that position and also pissed everyone off, furious about all that “ruining baseball” nonsense.
