He would probably be around 125 if Seattle had an offense the last 5 years.

He's at it again.

With the slightest margin for error (2-1 final score), Hernandez bedazzled the Pirates on 97 pitches (68 Strikes, 29 Balls) over 8 innings.

In the process, he lowered his E.R.A. to 1.53.

I watched some of that game. He was flat out nasty. SEA is looking a lot better these days.

What an amazing pitcher he is. He probably has a better chance than any active pitcher at cracking that arbitrary 300 win milestone. Playing for Seattle has definitely hurt though his win total. He's been averaging 14 a year despite throwing an average of 232 innings a year to a 129 ERA+. If he played 20 years he still be 20 short of 300. To reference recent 300 game winners, Maddux had 115 wins through his age 27 season, Glavine 95, Johnson a paltry 37, and Clemens 116. A mixed bag for sure.

Assuming health, effectiveness, and a better offensive team at some point (and those are some big assumptions), I'd say he certainly has a shot.
