- The projected pitching matchups show the same pitchers starting each game of the doubleheader.
1. Known issue. Not sure of whether the screen can dynamically handle fitting multiple matches into one box

2. I'll check on Bugzilla for that one and check it out. If that's reporting one less match, you'd expect a series with a rest day in the middle of it to report one more match than needed.

3. It does, but as soon as the first match is played, the pitching matchup for the second match changes. It's not quite the same as mlb.com's Probable Pitchers - it's almost as if OOTP is guaranteeing who the starter will be and it sees Team A playing and says next SP in the rotation is Joe Bloggs, so it puts that against the matchups for Team A.

The whole area of the game surrounding double-headers and the like needs to be looked at to alleviate some of these issues and make things look correct. In general, double-headers do run correctly, you won't see many players from the bullpen pitch in both games for example.
