Rescheduling rain outs
When opening day (say a Monday) is rained out. The game should be made up on the open Tuesday, NOT a doubleheader on Wednesday. That's why the open day is there.

The rescheduling procedure could use some improvement, yes.

It sucks I have to do that./ But doubleheaders needs the extra pitcher call up. If not the AI blows through pitchers arms too much even with 13 total. |

And yes, you can specify that the typical roster construct is 13 pitchers and 13 position players. |

I still feel like I don't have enough pitchers on double headers. |

And no need for imaginary reasons why they couldn't play. Most northern teams schedule an open date the day after the opener so that they can get the big opening day crowd out to the park in case of rain or snow on day one. |

ML Baseball Union
Per their contract ML players have to have an off day every so many calendar days, so scheduling a DH after a rainout may be due to the off day agreement with the players union.

I am currently watching Seattle vs Oakland from Japan and during the regular season everytime I turn the TV on late at night it's almost guaranteed that Seattle will be playing Oakland. Too much of the same ole same ole. |

That's nice, but most people are playing Major league schedules. I know you have a particular interest in odd schedules and league set-ups but I'm talking about the ML schedule here. |

Yes, but that's not the case here. This day is purposely built into the schedule for this very purpose, to replace a first game rainout. Besides, they have a scheduled off day the next week for the same reason for their own home opener.

That's a good point.

Given that OOTP gives the user so many options to modify or change the way the game is played, my feeling has always been that, if you care enough about some aspect of the game to complain about it, then you care enough to modify it yourself. In this particular case, make-up games can be re-scheduled very easily. It takes about 30 seconds to go into the schedule editor, remove the make-up game that the AI has scheduled, and re-schedule it on some other date. On the other hand, I recognize that it's frustrating that the game seemingly can't handle a simple situation like this. It's worth remembering, though, that schedules are complicated puzzles, even in real life. I'm amazed that the OOTP AI can handle rainouts, even if it sometimes doesn't do a very good job of it. As Dr. Johnson said of women preachers, "the wonder is not that it is done well, but that it is done at all." In this instance, we can urge the developers to devote more time and effort to fix the problem while recognizing that it's within our power right now to do something about it ourselves. |

However, if I'm playing current MLB out of the box, then it should work like current MLB. Rule 5 should work, schedules should be reasonable (why schedule a DH when there is an open date right there???), etc. And this is the place, while still in beta to point out these things. It's the whole reason for a beta. So yes, I know that I can change anything I don't like, but what I'd prefer is to have it work correctly. Last edited by tward13; 03-21-2019 at 07:32 PM. |

The provision of an off day after the initial home opener is precisely to allow an open date for the quick rescheduling of the opener in the event it was postponed without having to resort to a doubleheader or having the game played later in the season. |

The real-life minor leagues use a much simpler set of rules to make up its postponed games. |
