Hell no! I’m OK with them using it in the AL, but leave real baseball in one league.

Back in my day, if Bob Gibson gave up a home run, the next batter KNEW he needed to kiss dirt to avoid being hit by an inside pitch.

Today, you go to the inside of the plate, the umpire gives you a warning.

Field of Dreams (paraphrasing) Shoeless Joe: “The last pitch was high and inside, what’s the next one going to be?”

Archie Griffin: Low and outside

Shoeless Joe: Right, but watch for one in your ear

Todays hitters wouldn’t stand a chance against pitchers of yesteryear (provided yesteryears rules were in force).
