AER Rule Submission 1: Colorado (1; 5.07)

Any mouth movement is a figment
of your imagination.

Colorado submitted and successfully passed the addition of Rule 5.07 to the Announcers' Ejection Rules. The rule was submitted in response to a call of "Ejection" made by HP Umpire Lance Barrett (94) in the bottom of the 6th inning. At the time of the egregious error in umpire conduct, Pittsburgh was leading 1-0. Pittsburgh ultimately won the contest 6-1.

5.07) As looking in the direction of a player assists the umpire in hearing them, umpires are forbidden to look at players.

This was the first rules submission of 2016.

Colorado now has 4 points in the AER standings (0 Previous + 2 New Rule + 2 Submission Passed = 4).

This is Colorado's 1st rules submission.
