I am playing with the actual rosters and schedules starting in 1871. What I have seen in simming the 1871 season 5 or 6 times is that a pitcher can get 2+ starts on consecutive days, 3-4 starts if separated by 1 day with the stamina ratings given the pitchers at import and setting the starting pitcher stamina to 5. This is a start, but what i have also found is that pitcher stamina doesn't change much when trying to set it any higher. I have tried 50, 100 even 1000 and the pitcher's still tire out at the same rate.

As I said, I am using actual rosters, actual schedules and the actual starting pitchers. I also looked at the team stats to determine how often the pitcher was relieved. I use this to try to cut down on some of the fatigue. This doesn't always work, case in point is Asa Brainard of the Washington Olympics. He started 30 of the 32 games Washington played and is not relieved in any of them, 10 of those starts are in May. Needless to say he was toast by the 17th. I played out the games just to see what happens and I can get 2-3 good innings then his walk totals sky rocket as well as his era.

What Iam getting to is how does the strategy settings work with the player stamina ratings? Is there an upper limit to the settings? I know that a pitcher's stamina cannot be higher than 250. Is this also true for the Starting Pitcher Stamina setting in the league setup?
