This was a game that must have been rained out in real life as the Yankees and Brewers played on the 9th and 10th, but did not play on Sunday the 11th. In my game this morning Catfish Hunter started for the Yankees and threw a complete game. Just checked and in real life Hunter started for the Yankees on April 12th against the Orioles. So, Hunter is going to end up making back to back starts.
I pm'd Pstrickert yesterday and he told me this would probably be one of the things that could happen. When I get home from work, I'm anxious to see how Hunter does going back to back. Injuries aren't a worry in this method of play, but will he be worn out after just a inning or 2?
I think between the choice of having a few back to back starts or having races finish undecided due to real life unplayed games, I will take the back to back starts.

Yeah, no doubt. Plus I presume pitcher stamina setting is on HIGH so they might handle the occasional B2B okay.
