The suspending of a game regardless of the inning due to bad weather I agree with, and it certainly seems odd why that change wasn't made years ago. I don't really agree with the tiebreaking playoff game change though. Coin tosses have been used for many decades to determine the site of such games, and I see no pressing need for a change. Though I suppose since it's now possible for an MLB team to win a division title solely on the basis of head-to-head record using the same criteria for home field in a tiebreaking playoff game seems a decent fit.
