Pitching Staff Usage Chart

With Eric's article about the lack of a need for 13 pitchers, it would probably be nice to see exactly how our pitchers have been used lately. If you are interested here's a chart showing how the pitching staff has been used (including pitch counts) over the past two weeks after the jump.

5/21 No Game 5/22 vs. Angels 5/23 vs. Angels 5/24 vs. Angels 5/25 vs. Rockies 5/26 vs. Rockies 5/27 vs. Rockies 5/28 vs. Cubs 5/29 vs. Cubs 5/30 vs. Cubs 5/31 vs. Cubs 6/1 vs. D-Backs 6/2 vs. D-Backs 6/3 vs. D-Backs
Kershaw 97 98
Wolf 95 109 75
Billingsley 108 111 111

Troncoso 23 24 36 31 15 20
Broxton 30 38 12 15 12

 

It looks to me like the Dodgers would be just fine with only 7 relievers. No one really looks overworked over the past two weeks, although Ramon Troncoso and Ronald Belisario have both been worked pretty hard. Troncoso, Belisario, and Brent Leach lead the Dodgers with 6 appearances over the last two weeks. The Dodgers have had 39 relief appearances over the last 13 games for an average of 3 relief appearances per game.
