Why not just get rid of all lefties. Not just in baseball, but in life. It is unnatural and probably a sin. They should all be sent back to Catholic school where the Nuns can beat the shit out of their left hands with rulers until they learn to throw the right way.
You secularists and public school punks clearly don't know just how good you had it if you think bat-shit crazy nuns with rulers were the most of Catholic elementary student's problems in the mid-2000's. Try taking a spelling test, and your teacher says the word "analysis," and, as you get four letters in, Father Raymond suddenly appears behind you from out of nowhere and puts an arm on your shoulder, as he looks creepily at the paper and then back at you

Okay so then change the way it is umpired. No more courtesy calls. It's 45 or it's a balk, extra umpire training in the off-season. Why get rid of the move? It's an advantage lefties have, but they're also easier to run a suicide squeeze on.
They already have a clear rule in place. It's obviously not working if they can't get an obvious violation called in the NLDS

Never said they don't, I said actually enforce it. You want to blast others for making "no actual on-point remarks" well...

I said extra umpire training, hold them accountable if they miss it. Make it a reviewable play if it isn't already.
