I wonder if the league stamina setting of "normal" is too low. In 1972 starters were still routinely throwing 250+ innings and completing about a quarter of their starts. A five-man rotation shouldn't be running into fatigue problems on a regular basis in 1972, although I would advise against strict rotations for the reasons I mentioned earlier. This might be one of those situations where the game would benefit from assigning "emergency starter" roles to some of a team's more durable relievers.
