Yeah I've been having it happen a lot in my 1955 historical league. I use "as played" schedules, and as a result some teams get a ridiculous number of doubleheaders on top of each other. And with the historical settings set to use only a handful of relievers, pitching staffs can get exhausted quickly.

For example, Detroit and I played five games in three days. In the fourth game, they were getting blown out 14-5 after six innings. And their pitchers were all wiped. So starting the bottom of the 7th, the AI brought in backup 3B Bob Dillinger to finish the game. He went the final two innings and gave up six runs (five earned) on six walks and four hits, throwing 69 pitches. We won 24-9.
