Kyle Pearson pitched a ninth inning shutout to earn his and the team’s first save of the year. And Pearson would go on to earn three more saves in the month of April. Unfortunately though, he would be traded before he got to five. But we managed, and seven other guys would pick up a save before the end including the guy who led the team with nine, Kevin Roberts. Now, Roberts wasn’t always a sure thing as seen by his five losses, but he was as close to it as we would probably see this year. And since we’re on the topic of pitchers, let’s go over some of the others who left their mark on the 08 season. Starter Tony Watson was arguably the best pitcher we would see this year. He had eight wins, a 3.56 ERA, a 1.22 WHIP, and one hundred and four strikeouts; numbers that light a bright future for the southpaw out of Nebraska. Of course there was also Brian Holliday and Jared Hughes to bolster the staff, but two of the more memorable pitchers would be true enigmas. The first is Daniel Moskos, who started the season in the starting five, but ended up in the bullpen due to a high number of innings pitched. The thing about Moskos was that he either seemed to dominate or disappoint. It was so even that his record ended up being 7-7. An ERA of 5.95 would seem to illustrate the bad, but with seventy-eight strikeouts, he looked lights out.
