• Factual errors: MLB games do not start so early in the day. When the score is told to Jack, he has 76 minutes to live, making the time approximately 10:30am (based on time that he is supposed to die at 11:45am). We could assume that it is an away game, but the score on the phone shows the Mariners up 3-1 with the Seattle score on the bottom which indicates that they are playing at home making the chances of an MLB game being played at that time of day, zero.
