| 0:57.0 | Do lots and lots of goofy delays? |
| 0:58.5 | Yes, it's very strange. |
| 0:59.9 | It's the world's longest one-to-one game. |
| 1:03.2 | But they're going to take this series, one way or another, from the Texas Rangers. |
| 1:08.0 | Yeah, that was a concern that we expressed on our daily, or I guess our midweek podcast, off-the-record podcast. |
