Unscrewing the superchargers off the baseballs would also help to keep strikeouts from spiralling all out of control, because hitting for the fences is not going to be as much of a successful strategy anymore. Hitters would actually have to be a bit more selective, slap a single for a change, and hey, maybe exploit the wide open side of the field the shift is giving you?
