this happened in all the versions i have played. if a decent stamina pitcher stays under 125, he's typically high 90% rested by day four. if it's happening with ~140 pitches, then something is wrong. this is realistic. the mlb uses a 5th guy not because they can't do it phyiscally, but because it lengthens careers (i'd trust the research if it says yes/no to that).

what's different in '17 is the default rotation strategy (i believe league settings -> stats and AI). this is defaulted to start highest rested, i think. simply change that to "occasionally start highest rested" or a strict rotration. occasional will be mlb-like. your top couple starters should 2-3 extra strats or so.

i noticed that league lead in IP was approaching 300IP which i did not see in '16 with what i thought were the same settings. once i changed this setting, it was all back to normal.
