Twins vs. Rangers: A Wild Game of Baseball and the Strange 7:07 Start Time
Fans were left perplexed by the unusual start time of tonight’s game between the Minnesota Twins and the Texas Rangers. The first pitch was scheduled for 7:07 PM, prompting some fans to joke that whoever chose the time might have some questionable hobbies involving basements.
**First Inning Action:**
Bailey Ober took the mound for the Twins with confidence, but the Rangers’ bats got to work quickly. Adolis García drove in a run with an RBI single, and Josh Jung added a sacrifice fly to make it 2-0 early. While the Rangers collected a few more hits, they didn’t factor into the scoring, so naturally, we’re not going to talk about those.
**What is Red Rover, Anyway?**
For those wondering, “Red Rover” isn’t about Mars, Martians, or anything interplanetary. It’s an old-school playground game where players try to break through a human chain. Think of it like a metaphorical baseball game—except instead of base hits, you have children charging full speed into each other.
**Second Inning Response:**
The Twins came roaring back in the top of the 2nd inning. Willi Castro, dubbed “Steamboat Willi” and now apparently a public domain figure, launched a solo homer off Rangers starter John Gray (henceforth known as “John Rangerspitcher”). Moments later, Kyle Farmer lined a hit into the outfield, leading to chaos as he raced around the bases. The ball ricocheted awkwardly, sending Farmer speeding home in what appeared to be an inside-the-park home run. Unfortunately, this was officially ruled a triple due to interference by “Big Triple,” a shady conspiracy ensuring fewer home runs in favor of triples, according to sources close to the situation.
The game is shaping up to be a bizarre one—on and off the field—leaving us to wonder if more strange start times and odd rulings awaits
