Ventura Starts First Two Games of Season

Airdrop01 · 04-09-2016, 01:19 PM

As in the team's first two games. Royals schedule had them playing Sunday night and Tuesday afternoon, followed by two more off days and Friday night game.

Tuesday was rained out.

I wonder if any pitcher since WWII has started his team's first two games of the season?

Wilber Wood

On July 20, 1973 Wood started both ends of a doubleheader, making him the last pitcher to do so.[7] He lost both of those games.

Not to start a season, but Zack Greinke started 3 games in a row. It was around the allstar break. He started and was ejected early. Then started the next day. And then started the first game after the break

At first I thought this was going to be another of those "oh no, another weird bug." Turns out it was just a cool fluke of scheduling. Nice

The bug here is that OOTP isn't rescheduling the Tuesday game for Wednesday, even though it's a common off day.

@Airdrop01: When was the Tuesday game rescheduled for?

@Pirates: Yep, Wilbur Wood in 1973 started his team's first two games.

Very interesting post. We get the chance to see many more games as an OOTP owner -- and we still see something new every time in the wonderful game of baseball.
