I'm pretty sure from what I've read that three pitchers have to be on the roster. That doesn't mean they get to play. As slowly as you sim, and as short as the schedules are, I feel pretty sure you can arrange it so Al Spalding pitches all his team's games. The one thing the AI won't do is leave the starter in to get beat 28-5, but maybe if it has no relievers...

Of course, you would have to manually edit the schedule to space the games, but that should be easy to do until 1882. I've never done 1871-75, but I did a DMB 1876 replay once. Most of the teams had two starters, but there were some that only carried one.
