Mike Marshall pitched for more than 200 innings in relief for LA in 1974. When I sim, he's barely able to reach 50 IP. So, in my most recent sim, the Dodgers compiled a team ERA about 1 run per game higher than IRL. Marshall had an ERA of 2.55 in 40+ IP. Unfortunately, the rest of the relief corps did not pick up the slack. The team relief ERA in the sim was nearly 5.00. Yikes! No wonder LA has trouble replicating their success when I sim the '74 season. One more thing: The relief pitchers -- aside from Marshall -- converted only 4 of 20-something save opportunities.
Here's another thing that may help explain the problems you were having in 74',when you use a one year recalc,the modifiers for that particular season will not work correctly.Maybe if you tried a 2 year recalc you would get different results?
