In looking at the bullpen... Dusty has really made sure that each of the six mainstays in the bullpen end up having pretty equal usage:

Sean Marshall - 38 appearances - 33 innings
Jose Arredondo - 37 appearances - 35.1 innings
Logan Ondrusek - 37 appearances - 30.2 innings
Aroldis Chapman - 35 appearances - 39.1 innings
Sam Lecure - 23 appearances - 30.1 innings
Alfredo Simon - 19 appearances - 30.1 innings


Lecure and Simon have far less appearances, but their total innings are right there with everyone else. Chapman's 39.1 innings are really the only outlier. Everyone else is on a pace to pitch 60-70 innings this year. Chapman is on a pace to pitch closer to 80.

Hoover had 17 appearances and 18 innings alternating with Bray's 7 appearances and 4 innings, so together, they are the odd man out with only 24 appearances and 22 innings, but I think their low innings count is due to Bray's ineffectiveness more than Hoover.

I am surprised by how balanced this is once you lay it out.

Ondrusek had a lot early and it seemed to affect him.

Simon could pitch a bit more for sure.
