Manfred first floated it a couple of years back with his insane "pace of play" rules package, and convinced the World Baseball Classic to use it. And it happened exactly how you would expect: Sac bunt, IBB, pray for a grounder to second for a double play.
Edit: Also, it's truly amazing how ugly Globe Life Field is:
I can't tell if it looks like the world's biggest adult superstore or an unholy take on a Bass Pro Shop.

It definitely looks like place you'd hold a lot of livestock shows, which in Texas has to be a real plus.
But if it's the adult bookstore, let me know.
Been around a while. I think I first heard it like 10 years ago. One sports show I listen to said it would not be counted against the pitcher for stats purposes.
If it made sense I doubt I explained it every well.
I wonder how their fantasy baseball overlords, like DraftKings, feel about this?
Counts as an unearned run against the pitcher, but the runner on second also reaches base without getting a hit or a walk, so it dings their stats.
It counts as an AB?
Twitter is having some fun with it.
I don't think it looks bad. And selling replica grills sounds like a good idea to me.
Meh. Looks fine from the inside. 
I've seen worse - any of the crappy multipurpose stadiums built in the '60s.

I'd rather look at the Coliseum than whatever shopping warehouse they copied down in Texas.
Seriously, it looks like a giant-sized pole barn that you'd see storing wood outside of a hardware store in northern Wisconsin.
What a dump, all for a few billion dollars.
I could see the apocalypse starting in a place like Arlington.
As I understand the promulgated Rules, yes. The batter who made the final out in the prior inning is the runner on 2nd.
Given their record the last few seasons, comparing them to a nuclear disaster isn't out of line.
