I'm far from expert at this and just my opinion, but maybe the problem is the league schedule. In looking at your screen shot, he started 9 games in a 14 day period. That is not realistic I don't believe in the way they played games back then and certainly not against different teams. Remember that travel was limited to train pretty much, so they might play a game or 2 in one city, then need several days to a week to make it to their next destination. Even superman couldn't start that many games in that short a period. Maybe spacing out your schedule to be more realisitic to the era would help your pitchers get the rest they need to be able to start every game. CPB
