Earlier today, I looked at Saul Rivera Vs the Mets this year. Lets take a look at Mota and Feliciano vs the Nationals this year:
Mota:
July 28, 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 SO
Aug 18, 0.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 0 SO
Sep 18, 0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 SO
In total, 2.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 1 SO
An ERA of 4.50 and no conclusion can really be drawn on these stats due to a lack of data
Feliciano:
Apr 13, 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 0 SO
Apr 28, 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 1 SO
July 27, 1.0 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 0 SO
July 28, 0.2 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 1 SO
Aug 17, 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 0 SO
Aug 19, 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 SO
Sep 18, 1.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 SO
Tot: 7.2 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 10 BB, 4 SO
There is enough data to start drawing conclusions here. His era agaisnt the Nats is above 4.50. The alarming factor, but its the alarming factor whenever you are dealing with Feliciano is the lack of 3 up, 3 down innings. There is a psychological factor for both sides during a three up three down inning. Now I want to define that here, I am not referring to a 3 up 3down inning with a double play, which is psychologicall boosting. I am reffereing to a pitcher getting 3 batters and not allowing any of them to get on base. His real trobles statistcially with the Nats was in July, but in the state of the penn, I am not saying in any way that he is trouble free right now, because he is not, and we all know that.
