Twins game start times are like that one friend who says “I’ll be there in five minutes” but shows up an hour later. You just never really know. One day it’s a crisp 12:10 PM start for a “business special,” and the next, you’re scrambling to find the remote at 7:10 PM because you thought the game was already over.
It feels like the schedule is designed by someone who really loves surprises. “Surprise! It’s a 3:10 PM start on a Wednesday, just to mess with your lunch break.”
The “Is It a Night Game?” Anxiety
You’d think a night game means the sun is down. That’s logical, right? But with the Twins, a 6:10 PM start in July means you’re still squinting into the sun at first pitch. It’s not a night game. It’s a “please-burn-your-retinas” game.
Then there are the 1:10 PM starts. These are the gold standard for a relaxing afternoon. You can grill a hot dog, spill some mustard on your shirt, and take a nap by the fifth inning without feeling guilty. That’s the dream.
