I think it's an improvement, including speeding up the game.
It can be good strategy to bring in a lefty to face one lefty batter. It's also boring. Shortening the commercial break when that happens would make it only slightly less boring (if the commercial break is half as long then it's still half as much boredom).
Also, just as I don't support the DH, I don't support roles for other one-dimensional players, like a guy who can only face lefties. Force pichers to only come in if they are capable of facing the next three batters.
Though the biggest problem with today's baseball of it being too much HR or K, is something they won't address because they think people like huge amounts of HR's.
