Away team comes up in the first inning, they bat around knocking the starting pitcher out of the game in the first inning. The DH on the away team got up once or maybe even twice. The home team, with the starting pitcher out, now must take their starting DH out of the game without that DH even batting.
Another reason I don't think I like it (and where the home-team is at a disadvantage), the starting pitcher gets hurt in the first inning. Boom, the starting DH is gone without an at bat.
