And you are entitled to your opinion.
However, the rule is actually a participation rule created and developed at the request of the coaches and their teams, not the umpires, administrators or the officers of the respective associations which use it.
If I had my druthers, I would get rid if it and NOT replace it with anything else like the ludicrous DH. Play both sides of the contest or don't play at all.
