What does a baseball umpire's era mean?

I must say when I saw that statistic last night it was the first time I had heard of it. But the way I understand it, and umpire's ERA stands for the number of earned runs scored in a game while the umpire is behind home plate. A higher umpire ERA generally means that the umpire favors the hitter by having a smaller strike zone. A lower umpire ERA generally means the umpire favors the pitcher by having a larger strike zone.

What is the magic word in baseball?

The term 'magic word' stands for something you say to an umpire that gets you thrown out of a game. The word is a 3 letter, 1 syllable word ... YOU. Umpires now do not make the call of "you're out" but the call of "he's/she's out" in an attempt to make the game less personal and more generic. When disputing an umpire's call, other than asking "What did you see?" in asking the umpire what went into making the call, using the word YOU personalizes the dispute and is sure to cause it to escalate because now the dispute is with the umpire and not the call.

What does an umpire do in badminton?

An Umpire is in control of a particular match, usually called a rubber, and has to know the rules of Badminton and ensure the game is played fairly within the rules. The most obvious job is to keep the score, calling it out between points so that the players and spectators know the score. The Umpire is also required to call any faults and sort any problems during the games. Umpires also act as Service Judges and work as a team with the Umpire when both are on court. The Umpire reports any problems to the Referee who has the final say at the event.
