A few things:
A: this is not little league, this is the majors with professional athletes who are paid to play a sport.
B: No other professional sport in the US (major sports) has a Mercy rule, so why should MLB have one.
C: Players could miss out on financial incentives due to games being cut short by the “mercy rule”.
D: Fans pay to watch 9 innings, not a shortened game.
E: just because you are behind by a bunch of runs doesn’t mean you have no shot at winning. Comebacks happen. That’s baseball.
