How too play doubleheaders if pitchers are fatigued?

I have larger leagues and it's hard too keep tabs on all the rosters and what teams are playing doubleheaders so many times teams have 0 rested relievers going into game two of the twinbill.

I have tended to always try to bring up a starter or long reliever for a day I am having a double header. It helps to be able to use a guy for several innings if need be for one of the games.

It would be cool if in future versions, the roster could expand to 26 on double-header days like in real life

This is particularly an issue if you play manager-only. The GM does not adjust to the peculiarities of the season (e.g. doubleheaders, only playing 6 games the first 9-10 days of the season, etc.). Adding the option of a 26th man on the day you have doubleheader would likely be a pretty easy fix.

I always call up a 13th pitcher and end up with an eight-man bullpen for a few days after the DH. Although this doesn't matter if I've re-scheduled the game for September
