The number one rule of being a casual Twins fan is never trust your memory. You will swear the game is at 7:10 PM, but you check the app at 6:45 PM, and it’s already the second inning. How? Why? Nobody knows.

This is why I’ve developed a foolproof system. I set three separate alarms on my phone. One is a gentle nudge at 10 AM. Another is a frantic buzzer an hour before. The third is a panicked siren that goes off ten minutes before first pitch, just in case I’m in the shower or, more likely, staring at the fridge wondering if I have any cheese.
The “Doubleheader” Existential Crisis
Ah, the doubleheader. This is where start times become a full-time job. Your phone calendar looks like a war strategy map. “Game one at 12:10 PM. Game two at… wait, 40 minutes after Game one ends?” What does that even mean? It insists you clear your entire Saturday for the privilege of watching seven hours of baseball and eating a whole bag of peanuts.
You try to plan a quick errand between games. “I’ll just run to the store,” you say. You come back fourteen minutes later. The second game is already in the third inning. Disrespectful. That’s what it is.
