Doubleheader in 2 ciities

nathanaz · 04-29-2016, 09:06 PM

Not sure I have heard of this before in MLB. After looking at the schedule after simming, I saw that the first game of a doubleheader between NY and Baltimore was played in NY and the second game was played in Baltimore. Both were full games, in fact the second game went 11 innings. Is that possible? Schedule glitch in OOTP17?

It's a limitation in how OOTP handles doubleheaders as a result of the financial engine. Clubs have to have their full slate of home games, so you can end up with the kind of doubleheader you mentioned. You just have to suspend your disbelief a little bit as a result.

Basically, if you get a rainout in Baltimore and no way to re-schedule it (because there's no more series left in Baltimore), it will tack in onto the series in New York. But since the Orioles need to bat last, and therefore be the "home" team, it says the game was played in Camden Yards.
