The Loons kick off their 2019 season on Thursday, April 4 away from home against the Lake County Captains. They play the Captains again on Friday before returning to Midland for a six-game home stand, two against Lake County and four against the South Bend Cubs.
It should not be too difficult to get a better start to the season after the 2018 season in which they went 7-13 in April with six postponements due to inclement weather.
John Shoemaker returns as Loons manager while pitching coach Luis Meza, hitting coach Justin Viele and fourth coach Jason Bourgeois are new to the Loons although Meza and Viele are in their third year as coaches in the Dodgers minor League system.
