Los Angeles Dodgerspitcher Max Scherzer was in greatspiritsafter the team’s win on Wednesday.
Chris Taylor ultimately brought the team to victory after hitting a walk-off home run.
Immediately after the wild card game, Scherzer, 37, and his teammates popped bottles of champagne and cheered as they now head into their second postseason game.
The athlete may have had one too many sips, but nonetheless attempted to get through a postgame interview with TBS.
The Dodgers pitcher spoke shirtless and got flustered after hearing an echo in the headset he was given.
“You gotta get rid of this echo,” he said, adding, “can’t talk. I’m drunk, whatever.”

He later continued, “Yeah, Dave Roberts … understands where he wants – sorry, I got an echo – where he wants his relievers in every location. And so, look, he wanted Joe Kelly there. Even though I was good. He wanted Joe. So that’s how you win a ball game.”

Scherzer kept the good vibes going once he realized his former Washington Nationals teammates Juan Soto and coach Kevin Long were in the stands cheering him on.
The baseball player ran over to them and gave them each adouble high fiveand blew kisses towards them through the fence.
“It’s a cool feeling,” Scherzer said in anotherpostgame interviewof his former teammates watching the game. “In baseball circles, you get real close-knit and to have their support and have their presence here just adds to the experience.”
The Dodgers will face the San Francisco Giants in game two of the postseason on Saturday night.
