Still mainly 6 game sets with Mondays off except for July 4. A few more teams from the east on the schedule too.

With Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (Yankees AAA club) coming, I could see big crowds for that series.

Storm Chasers manager Brian Poldberg to retire from managing

Omaha Storm Chasers wrote:Poldberg, 64, has managed the Omaha Storm Chasers since 2014, winning 475 games over seven seasons (2014-pres.). Poldberg ranks second in Omaha franchise history in both wins (475) and seasons (7), trailing only Mike Jirschele (995 wins in 14 seasons). Since beginning his managerial career in 1988, Poldberg has amassed 1,350 wins across 21 seasons, sixth-most all-time among active minor league managers. He first coached for Omaha in 1991, when he served as the hitting coach for Sal Rende.

“The time’s here,” Storm Chasers manager Brian Poldberg said. “I’ve been in it for 40-plus years and my body’s telling me that it’s harder to get out there every day and do the things that I feel I need to do to do the job right. After 41 years of being in baseball and being married for 36, I’ve never spent a summer with my family, so I’m looking forward to that. It’s been a great honor to have played for and managed my hometown team. It’s odd to be in professional baseball and be in your hometown and work and I’ve been very fortunate the last seven years to do that.”
