It’s not a Los Angeles Dodgers postseason celebration unless Kiké Hernández is partying with members of the media.
Since the Dodgers advanced to the NLCS following a 4-1 victory on the road against the Atlanta Braves, videos have started to emerge of Hernández pouring alcohol on everyone in the locker room.
That included members of the media.
Before the festivities began, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts had his team gathered in the locker room and told the team, “I want to give props to Kiké,” to which Hernández immediately responded by saying, “I do this s—. F— you talking about?”
Then the champagne popping commenced, and the party started in the visitors’ locker room at Truist Park.
Hernández was spotted soaking wet next to host of “Dodger Talk” David Vassegh who was just as wet due to the alcohol that was being sprayed throughout the room.
Vassegh was wearing a 1970s-inspired Dodgers shirt that featured Hernández’s face on it.
Vassegh told Hernández that he was the hype man for Edwin Diaz, and Hernández responded by saying, “I’m the hype man for a lot of people. That’s part of why I’m here.”
He then went on to joke with the host to tell him that he’s having a “wet t-shirt contest.” Hernández ended the interview by thanking him and saying, “Nice nipples,” leaving Vassegh in laughter.
Dodgers dugout reporter Kristen Watson had a more pleasant experience with Hernández as he started pouring a bottle of champagne over her head when their interview first started.
“Oh, baby, that’s cold,” Watson said as Hernández was pouring a bottle over her head. “But it feel so good.”
Watson went on to continue her question to Hernández by asking him about winning big games in the postseason, the group they have, and how they were able to pull through the NLDS.
“It doesn’t matter how many of these you have; you can’t take them for granted. These are special,” Hernández said to Watson. “Knowing we had to earn it. It was a great series. Very well-pitched series. We toughened it out.”
Hernández delivered in Tuesday night’s Game 3 matchup when he gave the Dodgers a 2-0 lead in the fourth inning by blasting his 17th career postseason home run against Chris Sale.
Shortly after, Freddie Freeman followed with a solo shot over the right field wall.
Near the midway point of his interview with Hernández was unaware that Tanner Scott was pouring alcohol down his shirt until Watson told him. “I’m so wet, that I didn’t even feel that I was getting more wet,” Hernández said.
