I think this new rule will be disrespectful to the game. We don't need to speed up the game, and if a pitcher can't put a catchable ball somewhere near the catcher for 4 pitches then we have a big problem. Yes, of course, I've done crappy games where the pitcher stinks and has a hard time hitting the broad side of a barn. But rules like this cheapen the game in my opinion, as well as deny the offense a chance to advance on a passed ball. Suck it up, pitch the ball 4 times, and move on.
