Who got themselves worked up enough about this to demand a rule change? In a tight game 0-0 runners on 1st and 3rd, batter hits the ball to the right side as instructed and intended and drives in the winning run but ends up in a 4-6-3 double play. Defense is happy with the result?? So losing the game is a defensive goal now??

The defense elected to go for 2. Their problem.
Baseball doesn't credit an RBI on a DP.
