This idea only works if the DH was universal.

Instead of changing sides after the 1st 3 outs just clear the bases.

I'd propose doing this with two sets of 3 then alternate like traditional baseball for last 3 innings.

It would reduce the # of commercial breaks from 17 to 9 or 16.67 Minutes

So this :

T1, B1, T2, B2, T3, B3, T4, B4, T5, B5, T6, B6, T7, B7, T8, B8, T9, B9


Becomes

T1 - T2 - T3, B1 - B2 - B3, T4 - T5 - T6, B4 - B5 - B6, T7, B7, T8, B8, T9, B9

This is just my opinion:
Something like this would not work in modern baseball seeing the starting pitchers would be more taxed leading to more reliever usage thus rending the way current rosters are made up useless. The rest between innings is good for pitchers as they can regain some of the energy they lost during their previous inning as well as being able to calm down after a stressful half inning they just pitched.
