I just think it's a silly rule, and I doubt very highly that the OOTP Development team would put in a proposed rule on that short of notice.

Hey, why not? It's supposed to be a feel-good solution designed to help baseball keep pace with today's high-tech, fast-moving world. Haven't you heard?....Baseball is dying! Oh my!
If anything, the rule doesn't go far enough. Maybe all games should start in the bottom of the 9th with a runner on third. The games will be shortened on average of 98% and contain all action! Markus can rename OOTP to "Out of the Park in Thirty Seconds or less". Trust me, in today's fast-paced, high-octane, trans-fat-free America, it'll be a monster hit. We can then spend all that time we used to waste watching baseball discussing our feelings over a bowl of artisan chick pea salad or gluten-free hummus.
