Los Angeles Dodgers star pitcher Tarik Skubal didn’t pitch in his team’s NLDS-clinching Game 4 win against the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday night.
But he still stole the show postgame, given his beer-soaked celebration tactics during two live interviews.
In one interview with Dodgers reporter Kirsten Watson, Skubal was asked about the celebration to come and said, “I can’t f****** wait.”
Then he chugged the two beers he was double-fisting, most of which missed his mouth and ran down his chest.
The celebrations continued moments later, when Skubal did a wild interview with Dodgers SportsNet LA reporter David Vassegh.
“I’ve got another beer in a place where it shouldn’t be,” Skubal said to Vassegh. Their interview paused so that beer could be thrown and poured on everybody in the vicinity, Vassegh included.
As Vassegh struggled to re-gather himself, Skubal said, “The game is speeding up on you, it is speeding up on you.”
Then Skubal got another beer poured down his back and said, “What’s running down my pants right now is so cold.
“It’s because these f****** guys!” he added before turning to throw more beer at the teammates behind him.
After Vassegh and Skubal gathered themselves once again, Skubal was asked how much the Dodgers meant to him and said, “It’s a great team. The culture they have here, the preparation, the expectation to win, I love being a part of it.”
Everybody associated with the Dodgers loved Skubal being a part of it, as well.
If this is how wild celebrating the NLDS is, it will be fun to see how Skubal would celebrate a World Series championship.
