Just to make someones head come off........Pitchers in the 1870's often threw well over 200 pitches per game three times a week (that is 600-700 pitches per week folks) due to all the errors and the scoring and the rules of the day.

It really was a different game and that needs to be kept in mind. OOTP is based on 1990's baseball and allowances have been made for early era play. All the allowances in the world won't make it totally realistic though, just a very good approximation.
