I play doubleheaders in my leagues and it has worked very well.

I have to use relievers as starters to do this because the starters are not rested. It makes for a more realistic game. I sim the first 6 innings of a game and then play out the rest, so I can make pitching changes and subs in the game. The AI can't start a reliever...except the spot starter...and it doesn't really handle a pitching staff realistically. I control all teams in my leagues. It would take too much time to play out the entire game. The six inning sim works well because very few subs are make in the first six innings.

Agree that rainouts would add another element of realism to the game.
