Overall, it looks like teams are whiffing about 100 more than the average real 84 team.
How would I go about lowering strikeouts? Like I said above, I like what I'm getting in other categories, but 300 K's should be rare, not an every year thing.

Hmmm...That's odd. I have 4 inividual 300 K seasons (H. Score 369 in 1904; L. Gomez 327 in 1916; L. Gomez 316 in 1914; H. Score 310 in 1903) in 35 seasons of play in mine, and I have not had one in the last 19 seasons. I wonder if it's starting to reflect the higher K times that you're actually playing through. Maybe it'll settle down on its own, maybe it won't. Remember you've only just started to use 1984 (what is it six seasons now?). Maybe it'll continue to shake out on its own.
I used to monkey with the LTMs, but I've let it go and accept what comes now. You can play with the LTM for strikeouts, but be very gentle with it - it's very sensitive and you might go too far the other way if you don't watch it (that's what caused me to stop messing with LTMs - offense started to get a little too hot - I'm going through a period that was quite offensive IRL right now, but it seems to have calmed down again - hopefully that'll happen for you - best I can offer for now). Hope it sorts itself out for you. *fingers crossed*
