Ahh but theres the rub, Real schedules don't work correctly with OOTP as fatigue and things like that assume modern day pitcher usage. Too big a difference. So you must use altered schedules to keep pitchers from fatiguing. No matter how high their endurance it is way too low.

My guess is that it's somewhere in the middle.

Back in those days 1 man pitching staffs were the norm. Pitchers just lobbed the ball, plus back then the game was played by Real Men, the kind with hair on their chest and face, they didn't need no stinkin help. Pitching wasn't as tiring then as now. Fielding wasn't of the ESPN highlight variety. All in all it was a different game.
