Not a good one IMO.
Why would you say that???... I would think it would fall into the same category as the 15 run rule. Just Curious..
The run rule exists as a mercy rule; it simply notes the game is over, something everyone already knows.

This rule is one that requires other accompanying rules to be fair. After 3 errors, the coach's daughter must be removed from shortstop. After 4 bonehead coaching decisions, the head coach must be retricted to the bench. After the second non-slide in a "must slide" situation, the baserunner must be substituted. Then, you can pick on the learning pitcher for not being totally skilled in her position.

If it is a more skilled game, maybe the offensive coach might consider suggesting the batters stop crowding the plate. I have learned that calling a few liberal inside corners, and HBP dead ball strikes can accomplish that goal, too.
