| 0:00.0 | They win this game at a major sigh of relief, |
| 0:02.9 | especially after the guards we saw in the first game. |
| 0:05.0 | I mean, the first game was just, |
| 0:06.6 | it was a stinker. |
| 0:07.7 | You know, they score early against Ranger Suarez, |
| 0:11.4 | and that was great. But what I cannot get out of my head from game one |
| 0:16.2 | was in that fourth inning where the Phillies scored basically all their runs. |
| 0:19.3 | They scored the six runs in the fourth inning and Chase Shawman diet. It's not the price Harper home run. It's not that. It's the flyball |

| 1:28.0 | do she, I'm just kidding, I added that, obnoxious fans. No, he just had a bond with the city of Philadelphia and then said I'm going to become a fan of all the Philadelphia teams and fell in love with the game of baseball. So here's this guy, like a real breathing Phillies fan, who's British from the United Kingdom. |
