We'll agree to disagree.

Most of this discussion is giving me tired-head, but I'll jump in on this point.
It is NOT "unfair" that some, most, or all of the rules of baseball favor the offense.
Both teams in a contest get an equal number of turns on offense and defense. The same rules apply all the time, irrespective of which team is on offense or defense.
That's eminently fair.
