Could we "mess" with the schedule and create DH now and then. The AI would mess up the games says one. Is this so ???
I believe the main problem is the games aren't displayed correctly on certain screens - ie. in the team schedule only one game is shown on the calendar instead of both, and also the starting pitcher for the second game is only correct after the first game of the two is played. I think they play fine.
You can mess with the schedule to create doubleheaders no problem. Or some of the schedules that have been created here have them already and if they fit the league structure you want, you can import them straight in with them intact.

As for doubleheaders in real life, at least in the majors today they are only for rescheduled games. They're not originally on the schedule. The further back you go the more common the scheduled doubleheaders are.

And complicating matters further is that some leagues play two seven inning games, and some play a seven and a nine inning game.

And LGO can correct if needed and add more details, which I'm sure there are.
