There is room in this world for things that aren’t fast! In fact, we need more things in this world that aren’t fast, that allow for something to work out over time and make room for the play of human personality. Stop trying to turn baseball into yet another adrenalin/cortisol overload!
The rule should only apply if it actually affects the game. In this case, he hit the middle of the bag with his left foot, so he was legal at the point of contact, and his running inside the line had no affect on the game. The bad throw was the cause of the contact, not the runner. The rule needs to be expanded to make it clear that it only applies if it affects the game.
Get rid of replay reviews in all sports. Umpire judgement should be the final ruling. Society suffers because we are becoming people who can’t tolerate any slight uncertainty and refuse to accept human judgement with its possible error.
Bring “What are ya, blind, ump?” back to baseball.

A great start would be punting Joe Buck.
