Likewise, every time I select 'Auto-Calc Modifiers', it changes the modifiers to something different each time it's selected.

So how am I supposed to know what good modifiers are for starting pitchers if every time it selects a 'Starting Pitcher Stamina' modifer between 1.1 and 1.3, changes 'Hook for SP' to -3, -4 or -5 - wouldn't any of those have pretty significant changes?
Yes this is a huge concern to me as I just decided to start using Auto Calc more this version as a supplement to my own calcs using Excel.

I was unaware that AutoCalc could change the General Strategic Tendencies setting. That's on me for not paying attention but I have big problems with the fact that I've just seen AutoCalc increase bunting from rarely to normal in Gen Str Tendencies plus increase the numerical modifier by a large multiple. That suggests to me that bunting could occur 4x to 6x what it was previously. I'll post some screenshots later.

I was of the mistaken belief that General Strategic Tendencies allowed the user to set the framework for expected league output and that LTM's modified the output to match those choices. Am I the only one who thought so?
