Help its ruining my pitching staff and the game in general! Make it stop! Is there a way too turn it off or go back in time to the start of the season and makeup the games from April to May, without starting over?

Without knowing more details about your game, it's hard to say. Are you using "as played" schedules or "as scheduled" schedules? Are you allowing rainouts?
At any rate, a 7-game series in three days would be extreme, as it would require a triple-header. But lots of doubleheaders, in general, is not uncommon, historically. "Back in the day" both scheduled doubleheaders and those added to make up for rainouts were common. Consider:
- the '41 Cards played 8 DH's in Sept
- the '44 Tigers played 6 in Sept
- the '45 Tigers played 9 in Sept
- the '45 Senators played 16 over last month and a half
- the '50 Phils played 3 over the last six days, and Dodgers had 4 of 'em (this, along with injuries and calls to the military decimated Philly's staff for the World Series)
- the '55 Yanks played 3 over the last 5 days, before heading to the WS
- the '66 Dodgers had to use their two aces in a DH on the final day of the regular season, before heading to the WS
- the '67 Tigers played DH's on the final two days of the season
I only looked at pennant contenders' schedules at the end of the season, but you get the idea... And I don't know how many of these were scheduled vs make-ups...
