The new manager found his hot start to the season begin to cool slightly as the Pharaohs move a little deeper into their season, but the fight is still there. The Pharaohs are now 23-21 and have fallen behind the Athens Fighting Centaurs by 2.5 games. (the Pharaohs have gone 15-18 since the last column was published). Asked about the team's performance, GM Skidmore said, "Look, the way I see it, we're still in fine shape. We're gonna keep playing 500 ball, and the more I get to know these guys, the more I can began to fit together the bigger picture."
GM Skidmore still hasn't made any dramatic changes to the organization, besides bringing in a new doctor who specializes in arm care. It seems the GM may be emphasizing the development of the pitching staff, as he also made the unusual move of drafting a large number of pitchers via the amateur draft.
On the field, Jung-Kyoo Kim has been swinging with power, tallying his 6th home run this week, as well has 25th run batted in. Millard Younger is batting at .341 and has stolen 3 bases this year so far. The Pharaoh's pitching unfortunately hasn't been able to keep up as well. They've given up the most runs so far in baseball, with an average starting ERA of 4.93, but the bullpen has done what it can to hold opponents at bay with a 2.89 ERA, the best in the GBC.
