Lopez doing the catching.

Ray Sanchez is the shortstop.

Jason Marquis is an impressive-looking young right-hander.

A native of Staten Island.

Now Marquis getting a sign from Javi Lopez.

And the ground ball hit foul down the first baseline.

Yeah.

His catcher back then was Javi Lopez.

This was let's bring Ryan Klesko into Dirt from the Dugout.

And we appreciate old Rhino joining us there.

I'm not sure there's J.T.

Snow, Javi Lopez, Sean Estes, F.P. Santangelo, our own Jeremy Affel is in the mix, 100 pence.

So there's a lot of guys, and they're all great guys.

We know them all and like all those guys, and all of them would be a good fit, and they're all knowledgeable, and they all have kind of a sense of humor and all that stuff.

And in this day and age, it seems like especially a lot of the younger color announcers don't necessarily want to do it full time.

They've got young families or they've got other interests or they live far away.

Javi Lopez is also in the front office.

And I mean, he's absolutely sensational.

Fred McGriff at first base will bat fourth, six for 14, 429, two homers and six ribbies in the series, 16 for 51, 314, five homers and 16 ribbies in the postseason.

Javi Lopez will catch a bat fifth, three for 14, 214 with a ribby during the series, 18 for 45, 400, three homers and eight ribbies during the postseason.

Andrew Jones in left field will bat in the number 6 hole.

6 for 15, 400, 2 homers and 6 ribbies in the series.

He only goes up ahead at bat.

And now it goes after a steady dive of right handed as you can in the long ball.

Javi Lopez and then Andrew Jones.

Looking for that cutter, actually for a slider.

I had JT on the show.

And I know catchers and pitchers will form a relationship, right? And then, you know, look at guys like Greg Maddox and Glavin, you know, back those, they would only have, I think, I forgot exactly, so I'll screw it up saying it, but Javi Lopez would only catch.

You know what I'm saying? Tell me a little bit about that relationship.

I don't ask that question enough about the relationship you form with a certain pitcher.

... where it's like, where did he come from? And he's bounced around.

Javy López bounced around, almost retired.

Um, and then they end up being like all-time postseason guys.

So the Giants have actually been really good over the years at doing this.

Like now you've got to face three batters.

If it was back in the day, he would have been, you know, a Javi Lopez guy, a Ron Ballone guy, you know, come and get that lefty.

And, you know, he just – he's a little late to the game in that.

But, I mean, very serviceable player.
