Historical Lineup question
I am replaying the 1983 season using historical lineups and transactions and have noticed that some starting pitchers already have more starts (by early September) than they would finish with for the entire season. Atlee Hammaker of SF, the 1983 ERA champion, would give the Giants only 23 starts that season, but has 27 and is slated to start several more, according to Baseball reference, meaning that he somehow got some early starts in the season that he shouldn't have. Every time I've checked the result of a game on Baseball reference, the lineups and starter have matched up perfectly in my games, so I am wondering why this apparently has not always been the case in computer simulated games.
