Last year, the big three (Mo, Gordon, Quantrill) got a lot of action - some would say they were overused. Plenty of people were saying that Flash's problems in the postseason were due to him being tired. So, I thought that I'd take a look and see how this year's big three (Mo, Gordon, Sturtze) are doing as compared to them through 104 team games.

Last year:

Mo: 52 Games
Gordon: 52 Games
Quantrill: 58 Games

This year:

Mo: 42 Games
Gordon: 52 Games
Sturtze: 40 Games

So, as you can see... Mariano has pitched in 10 less games, while Gordon is on the same pace as last year. This years number 3 man, Sturtze, has pitched in 18 less games than last year's number 3 man, Quantrill had through the same period of him.

Hopefully this will help us down the stretch as they are (hopefully) less likely to have issues.
