Dodgers shared a look at Dave Roberts’ clubhouse speech after they clinched the NL West title

A very cool moment.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have been atop the National League standings for nearly the entire season, so their reclaiming of the NL West crown was inevitable. It got to the point where the Diamondbacks had security on hand to guard their outfield pool from celebrating Dodgers players.

But when it came time to actually celebrate their ninth NL West title in the past 10 seasons, the Dodgers were focused on larger goals.

The official Twitter account for the Dodgers shared a video from the clubhouse celebration following the 4-0 win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday. The video showed manager Dave Roberts emphasizing that this was just the first step towards a postseason journey. The celebration also included Clayton Kershaw getting put on the spot to give a speech.

Roberts said:

“This is the first step. This is the first step. We got a lot of first timers here. … There’s a lot of hard work in to winning the division. The championship, the west, is back in Los Angeles where it deserves to be. Where it belongs to be … Congratulations, everybody. Everybody’s that’s here, everybody’s that’s not here, it’s about you guys — the players.”

And then, of course, Kershaw followed with his delightfully uncomfortable speech.

Dodgers fans loved the video too, as expected.
