Heck there is a real chance they have their best record since 2012 this year too. OKC just had an incredible season this year.Brad wrote:Unfortunately the chasers were eliminated tonight, ending a great run over the past several years. Too bad the MiLB doesn't have a wild card...

Re: 2015 Omaha Storm Chasers
Martinez is currently hitting .383 which I believe is close to the league record with a few games left...

Re: 2015 Omaha Storm Chasers
The Best Minor League Baseball Towns of 2015
Omaha, Nebraska Omaha Storm Chasers
Winners of back-to-back Triple-A championships in 2013 and 2014, the Storm Chasers have at last been dethroned, though not for lack of trying. Their 80-64 regular season record this year is better than the record they posted in either championship season, but because of fierce competition in the PCL’s American Conference, they failed to make the playoffs.
Nonetheless, Storm Chasers fans have plenty to feel good about. Their city enjoys the fourth lowest unemployment rate of any MiLB town, at just 2.9% (as of June 2015).
Re: 2015 Omaha Storm Chasers
For those interested, Chasers have a lot of KC Royals post season stuff in stock right now.

Re: 2015 Omaha Storm Chasers
I see on November 16 they are doing a 5th anniversary announcement at DJ's in Bellevue. Wonder what that will be?

Omaha will become the Cubs affiliate, and Iowa will become the Royals' affiliate.

SO was my comment at some level.
I agree with you on the name. Wasn't sure when they first came out with it but really like it and would hate to see it change.
Big Royals fan here too. Was at the Saturday game for the ALCS when they came back in the seventh and beat the Blue Jays. I have to say that was the loudest I have ever experienced in an open ended stadium. (meaning non bowl or enclosed) It was crazy.
Here was my view

Re: 2015 Omaha Storm Chasers
Name change kinda makes sense... Weren't their away jerseys clearance priced at the end of the season?

It would also work if they are just updating the jerseys. I think it was on Mavpuck someone said they are just updating the Chasers jerseys to more resemble KC's.

Very cool, fantastic seats. We were at the game 5 clincher against Houston (4th row upper deck, way down near right field, where the Mets fans sat in the WS). Last year was in upper deck between 3rd and home for the wild card game. I agree on the crowd. The volume, along with the stadium vibrating/shaking was more like a football crowd. Crazy fun. Unbelievable experience that I feel very lucky to have been a part of. Can't stop smiling today.

Re: 2015 Omaha Storm Chasers
I'll throw my hat in the ring for guesses. They announce when the WS trophy will make its trip up north for us AAA fans to see.

Possible but they are no more far off than others in their minor system. Here is what is on display at the stadium in KC

That may happen but the announcement date was announced long before the trophy was in hand.

The latest email I got from them said, "Celebrate As We Re-Dedicate Omaha Baseball To The 2015 World Series Champions."
Re: 2015 Omaha Storm Chasers
Due to the large response this event has been moved to Ralston Arena.

Re: 2015 Omaha Storm Chasers
It was a good event. KC's Director of Minor League Development was there and gave a speech. Omaha and KC continue the longest affiliation in baseball. They've been together for their entire existence. It was great news.
I'm glad they kept the Chasers name. I'm not a fan of the Black jerseys but they seemed real popular with the kids there. I love that they are adding the powder blue like KC. Both the jerseys and hats are fantastic.
