LOL. What is the difference?
where is the competitive advantage that the better hitting team didn't already have?

It depends on how they implement the "man on 2nd rule". What if they just put the guy that is supposed to be up in first in the inning on 2nd base? Essentially, every inning would start with a lead off double. That really wouldn't be giving one team a competitive advantage that they didn't already have.

You want quicker games, less commercials. Why can't there be 30 seconds between Innings?
Yeah that's going to happen.

Yeah I don't even know what the penalty for violating the 12 second rule is. Is there one?MLB rule stipulates a pitcher gets 8 pitches or 60 seconds to warm up once he picks up the ball. If MLB actually enforced the 12-second rule, game time would shrink.

Pitcher is charged a ball and then has to watch One In A Million: The Ron LeFLore Story and write a review of the movie.
How about they play 2 or 3 innings in extra innings and if the game is still tied let it end in a tie? I like the wildcard because I think it gives smaller payroll teams chances at glory. I am all I favor of changing interleauge play to make it more balanced, and no matter what is decided pitchers batting or DH please make it the same in both leagues as I am ok with either !!!!!!
I don't have any numbers here but theoretically wouldn't the high payroll teams still have a better chance to get a wild card spot?

No: they are given the option to retire.Oh.
Are they given the option of just taking a 50 game suspension instead?
Probably but I just like more teams in the playoffs.
I'm not finding any data on it; but it seems to me that the substantial majority of extra any games are decided within the first three extra innings.
So why not do something in between and wait until the 12th inning to implement a wacky new rule?
