I should mention that with the 15-man rosters, teams are carrying 9 batters and 6 pitchers. That breaks down as one bench hitter (typically a catcher although some teams have a different position player), one starter, one closer, and 4 MR's. The game really doesn't handle SP endurance from this ERA. As I've previously stated, all the SP endurance settings are turned to the highest possible settings. The game doesn't typically start the SP on two days in a row, although it will sometimes start a non SP on two days in a row. Also, I often see the game pulling SP's after a couple of innings if they've given up a lot of runs (either earned or unearned) and thrown a lot of pitches. I will say that I think the game is carrying an appropriate number of pitchers on the active roster for the way the game actually uses those pitchers in the game. Unfortunately, that's just not very comparable to how pitchers were used in this era.
