HMM
Just something I hadn't realized until just now.
In 1995, the Mariners had their run, blablabla, we know.
Randy Johnson was 18-2 and struck out 294 batters. The Mariners played a 144-game schedule (plus the one game playoff for 145). If you tack on the extra 17 or 18 games that normally would have happened, Randy would have gotten to 300 strikeouts easily. Given the record the Mariners used to have in the games when he pitched, he probably would have gotten to 20 wins too before his back would put him out of most of the 1996 season before the Mariners came back to give us the homer-happy 1997 division-winning team that would blow it in the first round to Pat Gillick's Orioles team. Man, it's really not fair to think about that. Ugh.
