I wasn't crazy about the DH or Extra innings rule or making the bases bigger. I did like the pitch clock. But all of those I could see how it potentially could enhance the quality of the game without turning it into a sideshow. But this just seems absolutely ridiculous.

MLB Owners discussed Golden At-Bat Rule

This is some Calvinball-level BS.

And yeah, I hated the DH and the extra-inning rules, but at least those are things that are reasonably anticipated and known going into the game. This feels like something that would make the strategy of the sport pretty much pointless.
