Well, you have stamina in two places, one under general strategic tendencies, and then again over in the league totals modifiers. If you have "Automatically adjust league strategy when advancing to next season" turned off, then the Pitcher Stamina setting on the strategic tendencies side never changes. And, the Use of Relievers and Closers settings also never change. But the Hook does.
The result of this is that the Hook settings change to settings that are mismatched with the stamina and use of relievers setting, and then the engine goes a little haywire. When the hook is set to very quickly, but the use of relievers is set to very rarely, you start having relievers appearing in 140 to 150 games a season (and 2700 or so games in a career). I noticed this in a league that had the hook settings change over time to modern era settings, while all of the other tendencies stayed the same (1937).
If strategy settings are set to remain the same, then the hook settings need to stay the same with them.
