Changes when necessary are good. For example, getting rid of pointlessly crashing into a catcher like a safety dummy when no other player is subject to the same treatment.

This change isn't one of them.

I'm just glad MLB is using an indy league to test this out in rather than an affiliated MiLB league. It's a circus act, pure and simple. That said, I'm somewhat interested in checking out High Point's new park and seeing some of these crazy rules in play.
